As a 30th anniversary getaway, Casita Romanitica was perfect. The bedroom and 2 bathrooms are very spacious and the unit is well equipped. We brought 12 bottles of wine (max allowed by customs) and put it all to good use. The private pool was perfect for us to spend a day doing nothing. Exploring the town was fun - unique shops, loved Simon Says for lunch, bought fresh bread, fruit, and veggies at the Mercado, and fresh fish (filleted as we watched) from the docks, and barbecued most nights on the Romantica deck while enjoying the spectacular sunsets. We took a class at the Choco school in town making our own chocolate –definitely a fun activity, and learned a lot about my favorite food. Yes, it is rainy season, but the views from the house of mountains and valley are amazing with a million shades of green. A hurricane hit the east coast the last few days of our adventure, but after dealing with Irma in Florida, this was easy. The clay packed roads got extremely muddy and we learned it is imperative to have a 4-wheel drive. Most of the main roads are paved, but getting into the mountains was a feat. We tried driving north on the Chocolate Highway, but gave up after 30 minutes. Everywhere we went, the Nicas are wonderful people. Even though we don’t speak Spanish they would always go out of their way to help and we felt very welcome in their country. Gabriel, the Cooper caretaker met us when we pulled in, and was on site every day to answer any questions. He even gave us a tour of the other Cooper units that were empty at the time and it is obvious Casa Cooper is highly maintained. The rest of the Pelican Eyes campus is sprawling and we took advantage of double massages at the spa and a very romantic dinner at the main restaurant overlooking the pool and ocean. Casita Romantica exceeded expectations and we highly recommend it!
