“Balenbouche Estate is a place of beauty, nurture and warmth. Being there felt as if a family member (who you held in high esteem) invited you to stay in a cozy, well-appointed cabin steps away from the Caribbean Sea, surrounded by verdant tropical vegetation, provided delicious, healthy food, great conversation, an interesting assortment of other like-minded guests, and provided a general life-affirming experience. ”
