Our rooms were surrounded by lush foliage and the sounds of nature in a rain forest. We were surprised by how spacious the room was, and it was actually much larger than we had anticipated. The caretaker, Xochi, was so friendly and accommodating. During our stay, the water pump malfunctioned. Unfortunately, we had no idea, but he informed us in advance and had a fix ready. It didn't even dampen our trip.
Aside from the farm being absolutely beautiful, you should also try out some of the activities they offer. The breakfast was fantastic. Liloki is now my favorite food. The farm tour was extremely informative.
Only if you want more typical tourist sites is the location a drawback. If you're looking for a place that's a bit removed from the tourist destinations, this is a great place to stay. On the Hilo side of the island, there are no resorts or white sand beaches. However, this place is not far from the mermaid's pond. After a short hike through the forest, you come to a secluded tide pool all to yourself.
We loved it here. I'm already suggesting it to friends and family. I would definitely love to come here again.
