Ana and Sharkey’s home is wonderful. A stay in the rainforest is a truly unique experience. It’s hard to fully describe. The room itself is comfortable and beautiful and filled with all sorts of thoughtful touches. At the same time, staying on the edge of wilderness almost gives the feeling of glamping.
In a way, it’s an outdoor experience. Geckos and frogs are right outside the door, and the room is set up to make you feel like you’re in the middle of it all. At the same time, the inside is comfortable and happy and feels tucked away. It was clean with wonderful bedding and had more coffee than anyone could possibly drink!
We’ve never stayed any place like it and would love to come back. The Hilo side of the island is not terribly crowded, which we loved as well. And their home is a great place from which to explore the rainforest or Volcanoes National Park or the mountains. We couldn’t recommend Ana and Sharkey’s home more.
