"The backstory of Las Alamandas seems too fantastic to be true. A Bolivian tin magnate plans a beachfront mega-resort but doesn’t live to complete it, so his granddaughter takes over. To preserve the land (and dolphins) so dear to her, she revises her grandfather’s plan and erects a tiny resort, where a maximum of 28 guests have at their disposal 1,500 acres of pristine beachfront land and close to 100 staff members." - Mark Fedeli
