Life At Bala?

With the project finally opening it's doors to the first residents, it is time to begin a discussion of the experience of actually living, or staying onsite.

What is it like to wake up to the sound of waves washing up on the beach? What is it like to go for a morning walk on the beach? Is the pool well maintained? How can you get around while staying at Bala Beach Resort? Where do you find supplies and food? What are some great day trips and treks?

My thanks to the developers for not giving up on the project. Even with the economic problems in the USA and Europe, and weather delays in Panama, buildings 1 and 2 look to be finally ready to occupy.

My last visit to the project was in the spring, 2013, and, although there were still things needing to be done to make the project work, such as repairing erosion damage on the beach and preventing future erosion and access improvements, overall, the buildings looked ready and waiting for residents.

In the coming weeks, I hope to provide information for guests, residents, and visitors that they may find useful in getting around and enjoying their time at Bala. If you have ideas,  comments, or pictures you would like to share about life in this beautiful corner of the world and how to make it a little more interesting or easier for the newcomer, please comment.
