The area surrounding Casa Blanca is wild, virtually uninhabited and extraordinarily beautiful. There are miles of shallow bays, secluded mangrove-rimmed lagoons, white sand beaches, and dense coastal jungle. Once your have been to Casa Blanca, take the time to explore its vast tropical landscape and experience the exquisite isolation, you will find that it will remain with you long after you have boarded your plane and returned home to civilization. Casa Blanca is truly unforgettable...one of those rare places you will want to return to again and again until you have made it your own.
Together, Ascension and Espiritu Santo Bay are as close to paradise as you will find anywhere. They possess a unique combination of environments which create the ideal habitat for a wide variety of animal life and sea life. In essence, it is great home for game fish.
The vast estuary/flats system and adjacent reef are the basis of Casa Blanca's pristine, and highly productive fishery. Shallow water coral species demand a very stable environment with precise water temperature and consistent water depth in order to flourish. This is why large barrier reefs, like the Palancar Reef that parallels Casa Blanca's coast, are so rare. Palancar is second only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef in size.
It has been said that Casa Blanca has the world's largest population of permit. As many as twenty have been boated in a single week (on the fly!). It is not extraordinary to see within casting range twenty five to fifty permit in a single day...their familiar sickle shaped fins piercing the surface of the waters near 'Esperanza' or the 'Tres Marias'. It is an extraordinary experience to catch one though...an experience of which you will never tire. That is the beauty of permit fishing.
Want a room with an ocean view? Since the Caribbean is only 100 feet away, that is the only kind of room you will find. They are large and well appointed with tile floors, mahogany shutters and very spacious baths.
In the main lodge you will find the bar, and a very accommodating bartender as well. After a full day on the water, it is a perfect place to relax and talk about the ones that did not get away.
As you might expect in the Caribbean, the house specialty is fresh seafood - lobster or snapper or conch. You will always find the day's catch simply and skillfully prepared. Chayote, Jicama, Habaneros - the native fruits and vegetables are presented to please your eye as well as your palate.
