I’m giving this spot 4 stars as it didn’t exceed expectations per se but was a nice spot to post up in Hana.
It was a quaint little spot in a great location (ie short drive to pretty much any beach and 5 min walk from Travaasa Hotel which is great for dinner!). The hosts did a great job with personal touches ie leaving flowers around the apartment, leaving a helpful info packet, etc. Communication with the hosts before and during our stay was also great. They were very helpful and attentive. Checkin was super easy.
A few things that kept this spot from being a 5 star review - 1) the bed was fairly uncomfortable which made it hard to get a good night’s rest 2) there were some things missing from the kitchen ie trash bags and dish soap which made things a little inconvenient and 3) there was a bit of an ant problem in the kitchen... there were two spots on the counter that ants were crawling out of which allowed them access to some of our food. My partner ended up eating some ants when he went in for a handful of chips. Not good. We texted the hosts and they immediately sent someone to fix the issue, so that was great. We really appreciated the speedy response. And honestly, it wasn’t a huge deal. We know that the Hana area is full of bugs and we were prepared for that (ie spiders in the bathroom, a lizard in our room, etc) but the ant problem did sour our experience just a bit, keeping us from rating the place 5 stars. Hopefully the ants won’t be a problem for anyone else!
In summary, this place was a good option for Hana and would be a good spot to post up for a night or two.
