We could not have felt more welcome from A to Z. The guest handbook with all the local tips made for just our kind of vacation. They gave us tips to awesome tide pools and an volcanic warm spring we used to rinse off after our lava viewing trek. The beautiful garden and orange trees made all our meals so easy and delicious. Particularly the fresh eggplant, which we grilled up fresh on the lanai. Coupled with the provided coffees, teas, chocolates, eggs, spices and great kitchen setup (juicer especially!) we felt right at home as soon as we stepped in. The lanai was to die for with an awesome view no matter what the weather. The robes and slippers in the closets, as well as all the bathing amenities gave us that extra touch of luxury. All said, our only complaint was we didn't spend enough time. We cannot recommend this place highly enough. Would absolutely return!
