I recently enjoyed my stay at Casa Blanca for our anniversary, and it was truly remarkable. The ocean view from our room was breathtaking, and the cozy ambience made it hard to leave. However, while the location and amenities were on point, I noticed some cleanliness issues during my stay that could be improved.

While there were no extensive breakfast options, I appreciated the availability of coffee and some snacks. A few more options would have made mornings easier.

The shared spaces were beautiful and well-kept, providing a great atmosphere for relaxation. However, upkeep could be better in some areas.
