This was my very first time traveling alone and I am so glad it was here but there are some things I want to mention.
I see a lot of reviews on the roosters… I LOVED THEM! For reference- because it is a farmstay, you are near roosters who begin to sing their songs at around 4AM. Definitely early, but I didn’t mind it as a wake-up time. ALTHOUGH there are multiple earplugs that they provide in the yurt baskets in case you don’t want to hear them.
Other thing I wanted to note was the bathroom. In the photos you don’t see a toilet because it is a Port John or (porta-potty). Okay. I had an irrational/ rational fear of them before this trip. It was completely flushed out/ clean when I arrived and didn’t have the “Port John smell” if you know what I mean. It felt like just a regular bathroom at the end of the day and completely changed my view on them, thankfully it was a safe and hygienic experience.
LASTLY the area is so nice and quiet, green and lush! With that comes insects and lizards!!! There are insects crawling around outside of course and baby lizards that once or twice will make their way into the yurt. Do remember this is considered a more tropical state and this has very little to do with cleanliness, it is just the life that exists in this place. So if you are scared of lizards… get ready for a little jump scare during your outdoor shower.
(Which is also the best experience ever that I can’t even get into because it was such a spiritual and personal experience) …
But at the end of it all, I felt extremely comfortable and truly safe, Heidi & Michael are both very communicative and helpful and I can’t wait to come back in a year just to see how everything is doing. ♥️ I highly recommend this stay to everyone. If you are reading this, it’s a sign🥰
