Wonderful home! First of all, the home itself is very, very nice. The concrete floors, sliding doors, exposed copper piping, beautiful colorful art and pillows, it was all SO stylish and well thought out. In the bathrooms were lovely robes for everyone, and linens and other details were extra-comfortable and nice. The private road to the beach in the Balcones is FANTASTIC, the beach is one of the most beautiful we saw in Nicaragua. It's a lovely little cove with rocks and tons of shells to hunt through. You can walk south at low tide and easily reach Maderas, grab lunch at the taco spot or the wood burning pizza spot. Right on the cove of Majagual was one of our favorite little restaurants of the trip, a tiny open air "hut" run by a mother and daughter with some great salsas and cabbage salad thing. Yum. This property is probably one the very best in the Balcones for monkey fun, the troop comes through every morning and most late afternoons, our boys (ages 4 & 6) were just in awe of all the fun they could have watching the monkeys goof around. Check-in and all of those pesky details are REALLY easy through the Balcones properties, highly recommend, made everything comfortable and smooth. Cheers!
