The Whale Watch Suite did not disappoint. It was roomy and cozy with open air flowing in from every direction. You go to sleep with a faint trickle of rain every night and a sweet cool breeze flowing in and filling the space. You wake to beautiful lush greenery all around you next to the bedroom. The chirping of the birds and the feeling of life in all directions was incredibly soothing to wake to.
The bed was comfortable. The food prep area on the screened in porch had every essential you needed to make a meal. Sybil was kind enough to let us use some olive oil which we forgot to bring with us. She was willing to offer anything else we may have needed.
We found that if you kept the doors closed the mosquitos inside of the suite itself were few and far between. There were a few geckos in the place but they were easy enough to avoid and/or safely remove. You’re in the middle of the rainforest- there are going to be critters. The breeze and the fans throughout the suite made it very comfortable at night with no need for A/C.
The property itself was amazing. It was full of lush greenery and fresh fruit growing just overhead. The mangoes from the trees on the property were juicy and delicious. Just across the street from the property was the most beautiful cliffside view. Multiple black sand beaches, a cliff diving spot and perfect perches to watch the sunset. This was my favorite stretch on Hana Hwy and it was a 5-10 minute walk from the property.
Lastly, Sybil and Tracy were lovely people and very great hosts. Sybil’s story about her journey to this plot in Hana is right out of an adventure tale. You can tell there is a deep love routed in that land. Tracy was fun and helpful. He went out of his way to get us a car phone charger when ours stopped working.
This was a truly magical place and I feel incredibly lucky to have had a chance to experience it. It may now be my favorite place on earth. I will be back and I hope that Sybil and Tracy can be my hosts again. Thank you so much, for everything. Mahalo!
