It is difficult to describe how amazing this trip was. Our expectations were definitely exceeded. Our family had never traveled abroad, so this vacation experience came with both excitement and anxiety. There were 11 of us total as we traveled with another family. The accommodations were spectacular, even more beautiful than the pictures if you can imagine that. Much of our success for the vacation can be attributed to the staff at Villa Noche (Claudia, Jose and Memo). Also, our driver (that Travis had arranged for us) served as an advocate for us during our week's stay and we felt quite safe with him. He was very professional and his van was meticulously kept clean before each time we rode with him. I would definitely recommend using a driver as we never had to worry about navigating to our destinations within Nicaragua. Claudia and Jose were wonderful!! To have someone to get the groceries/cook meals/clean up after meals was simply a wonderful treat that allowed us to have extra time (and decreased stress!) with each other during the vacation. We would just let Claudia know what we would like for the meals and what time we needed them to be ready and "poof" it was done. We had breakfast and dinner made for us nearly every day; we fended for ourselves for lunch. The unique excursions that we did experience were planned seamlessly by the staff arranging it for us including horseback riding on the beach, deep sea fishing (we even saw dolphins, a Marlin, and a whale!), hiked a volcano, surfed, day trip to Granada, market shopping, ferry boat ride to Ome Tempe, and a boat ride to several mini islands in Granada. Most importantly, Travis is ideal to work with. We had missed our connecting flight to Nicaragua so we missed a full day. Travis was very timely with his communication with us, and very understanding and reasonable with our unique situation. Because the house was not being rented the next day (after we were supposed to have left) he allowed us to stay another night since we had moved our return flight back a day. Can't say enough about the beautiful country of Nicaragua, but I will say that Travis and his staff made this vacation a memorable one. The kids are already asking when we can return. You won't be disappointed if you choose to stay here, we would not have done it any other way!
