Finca is a much needed antidote to the sanitized and corporate resorts that line the road into Placencia. The house is exactly as quiet and peaceful and beautiful as the pictures make it out to be. There was a steady breeze coming off the water, so even though we were there in the hot, dry season, we were comfortable in the space with our family of 4. We will have treasured memories of our kids roaming free on the beach while we lazed in the hammocks. The only thing to be aware of was that there were a LOT of biting bugs (mosquitos, sand flies, etc.) This is to be expected in a place right on the beach, but we (stupidly) didn't think about it before hand and got a lot of bites. If you are a person who is tasty to insects, make sure you come prepared. Other than that, the bikes provided on site (such a nice courtesy!) were a little too big for our 7 and 9 year olds, so if you are travelling with young kids, you'll need to get taxis into town. Val, Jose, and Valerie (the caretakers) were incredibly kind and helpful. We wish we could have stayed longer!
