Hey bickerss I saw this "resort" was for sale on a Real Estate website not long ago. A euro guy (maybe dutch?) has built the place over the last few years and is now trying to sell it. The owner's house was very impressive. Maybe we can go half each and turn it into time share? It looks very peaceful and relaxing but I would be worried that the tide might come up too high when the global warming really kicks in!! If you get the oportunity to check out the place in person, let us know.

I've never understood this 50% off for kids, in my world it would be 50% extra. Who wants them at such a place.

Man, you've probably already thought of this, but you should spend some time in Capurgana before making any moves. It's alright for a minute, and it's not too bad at all, but it's a bit of a tourist trap - emphasis on the trap. I suppose if you live there you grow your own produce, cuz the stuff in the shops all seems to be imported from Turbo, complete with poor quality and prices. Other than that, only boats (long ride for sure) and airplanes to get around. That said, the Bahia spot looks nice and well made.
