Even after reading the other reviews, it was hard for us to really imagine what the place would be like and it far exceeded our expectations. We loved it. The view is spectacular. Waking up every morning to that view and then enjoy it while eating breakfast or just hanging out on the lanai was one of the best things about the cottage. Being in the jungle setting made it feel more special and authentic than a sterile resort. The first night you will be amazing, and possibly a little freaked out, at how loud the chorus of frogs is, but after that, it became sort of comforting. We had a very peaceful co-existence with the 2-4 geckos who would hang out near the roof. Definitely helped having a 4W drive to get up the driveway and to various other spots on island. The space was perfect for a family of four. Our older son, who's in college, especially loved the privacy and space of the downstairs room, which has a separate entrance. We all slept well. We used the kitchen, which is well stocked, and the washer. There is no dryer but there are clothes lines. The wifi was very reliable. There are little touches, like sunscreen, mosquito repellant, and beach towels, which came in very handy. But the best part of the experience was the host. Priscilla was incredibly nice, hospitable, communicative and responsive. We had a few questions while we were there, and we got answers and help quickly. We can't wait to go back and would absolutely stay there again.
