This is an honest review. I want to ensure people know what they are getting into before they book a reservation.

I had tried to cancel this reservation due to an emergency oral surgery. Darrell said that he can't cancel or move the reservation. I would have been charged full price, so I decided to suck it up and travel even though I was advised not to. (be sure you can make this reservation because cancellation is very strict and doesn't allow for emergencies)

I was told to call 15 minutes before I arrived. I did so, and Darrell was a little pushy about getting my exact location. I was in an Uber and not from around there, so how would I know? 15 minutes is 15 minutes.

When I arrived, Darrell was with a woman and they both looked skeptical and not very welcoming when they saw us. I instantly got a bad feeling (you are completely isolated, so not a good feeling to have)

He asked me "why are you here", an odd question. "I'm here on vacation."

He showed us to where we are staying (the stairs situation is pretty glossed over, there are a lot of stairs and I can't imagine pregnant women climbing them without issue, as noted in the listing)

The place itself is very beautiful. A lot of attention to detail went in to creating this space. The thing that was a deal breaker though was the lack of AC (it was a heat wave, and it felt like a sauna) Darrell did not offer us bottled water or a fan (my boyfriend had to ask for a fan)

Also, I thought the tour was extremely long and not something I wanted to do after coming off an airplane. I would have like to get settled first.

For such a romantic and secluded place, I was very aware of Darrell during our stay. He was watering plants while my boyfriend and I sat in the hammock (we were afraid he was going to spray us) There were also people on the property the first night that we hadn't been warned about.

I wouldn't stay here again. Too many variables that didn't go smoothly. It is beautiful though. If you're the type of person who doesn't need privacy (from your host) and wants to be completely isolated (from civilization), then you would probably have a great time.
