We had a fantastic time. Kaeo and Karl were wonderful hosts. They were happy to help when we needed something, but they respected our privacy. They gave us some great tips about nearby spots to check out. For breakfast, they set aside fresh fruit right from the trees outside, plus some treats like cookies, coffee cake, and chocolates. We felt very welcomed.

About 5 miles from the main road, the Eco Hale was really the best of both worlds: it was rustic and away from it all, but it still had comforts like hot showers and a mini fridge. The property is just gorgeous, with all sorts of fruit trees and tropical plants around. Being city dwellers, it all felt a little magical.
