Sorry for the fog on the camera lens. the humidity down there was so bad the desiccant in the go pro's didn't hold up.

I will upload more videos as I edit them.

Enjoy!

Very cool vid!

God, I love that place. Gotta get my Isla Blanca fix again this spring I think... Where did you guys stay? That dock you launched off, is that the place halfway between Ikarus and the restaurant at the end of the road? Love that damn restaurant for beers & food at sunset!!!!!

wow that must be an old photo because the place we stayed at wasn't built yet.

plus the swimming pool at villa cantina is now a pile of rubble in the breaking waves of the beach. must have been a hurricane that went through not that long ago.

this was our condo

That condo looks quite nice as does the area - never been. What is the max capacity on the condo? Kid freindly area?

Great videos - thanks for sharing

yeah I'd say kid friendly with the exception of the spiral staircase into the loft might be a bit of a hazard for little ones.

the building is divided up into a penthouse and 3 downstairs suites. I think we fit about 17 people in as we rented the whole villa. 15 would have been more comfortable. there are several other condo's in the area within walking distance but this one seemed to be one of the nicest
