This Nicaraguan Surf Resort Is the Family Getaway of the Year 

Rancho Santana got another good write-up last week. This time, it was from a publication called Coastal Living, which features residential and vacation spots around the world. Here is what they said:

Some vacations feel like the adventure is built right in. That’s certainly the case with Rancho Santana, a sprawling, 2,700-acre resort with five separate beaches on Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast, the country’s southwestern shore on the Pacific Ocean. First up is the ride to the property: about a two-hour drive from the capital city Managua’s airport. The Ranch (as it’s lovingly called) arranges door-to-door transportation for guests, so all that remains is taking in the scenery until the big reveal: enormous views of the Pacific with crashing waves, stunning cliffs, and rose-colored sand. Now it’s time for adventure of every kind, and a great mix for families, as well: world-class surf, hiking trails, a turtle sanctuary, and a treetop spa and yoga center, plus farm-to-table cuisine sourced from the property’s working farm. With those five beaches to choose from – each with its own personality of rugged waves and soft sand – even teens can’t claim they’re bored. Accommodations range from family-friendly casitas and ocean-view homes to standard rooms in the cozy inn with breakfast included (and an all-inclusive option). Adventurers seeking an off-the-radar gem: Here’s your next great vacation. Rates start at $320.
