The Lodge itself sits on the northern tip of a small coastal island in the western Caribbean calle Isla Punta Pajaros.  Here, at the mouth of Ascension Bay, where the reef that divides the sea from hte bay begines to bend inshore, you will find the lodge's white buildings clustered amind the palms on a white sand beach.  It is as remote and pristine location as you will find in this hemisphere.  Yet, to get to Casa Blanca, it is only a short flight to Cancun,  a forty five minute charter flight down the Yucatan coast.  But, just make a run across an inlest, slide through the narrow mangrove channels that lead to the bay and you truly are as far from the world and as close to "the way it was" as you will ever be.  "Far from the world"...yes, but not far from the necessities of civilized man.

" A room with a view"  Since the Caribbean is onl 100 feet away, that is the only kind of room you find.  They are large and well appointed with tile floors, mahogany shutters and very spacious baths.  "A well stocked bar" 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.  "An imaginative menu"  As you might expect in the Caribbean, the house specialty is fresh seafood - lobster, snapper or conch.  You will always find the day's catch simply and skillfully prepared.  Chayotte, Jicama, Habaneros - the native fruits and vegetables are presented to please your eye as well as your palate.
