Castro’s Island

Picture this. You are enjoying a cold beer on a wooden open-out treehouse overlooking a secluded white-sand, turquoise beach. Your back is surrounded by a jungle of palm trees. There is a buffet of fresh fruit, pizza, and pasta, a few feet from you to indulge in as you wait for a jeep to take…
