We went to Casa Banda over Thanksgiving 2013. This was an amazing place to stay. We went as a group of 12. The rooms were extremely comfortable and the view was spectacular. Arne & Bibi were very informative and knowledgable about the area. Getting there was not nearly as hard as anticipated. There were some dirt roads, but other the last few miles, we're easily traveled. Some of our group rented 4 -wheelers, some went zip lining, went to near-by beaches, nature walks, or just hung out at the gorgeous pool there. This was a wonderful adventuresome vacation. Would recommend that you take sturdy shoes.
