So first let’s start off with the good stuff.
The location is about 4 miles into the start of The Road to Hana. Perfect spot to start the trip to Hana if you plan on making it. The location of the place has unbeatable views and privacy was not an issue. William, the person who checked us in, was perfectly friendly.
Unfortunately, for us, we did not think it was worth the nightly cost. Although the place was very secluded and had amazing views the lack of amenities and the amount of Lizards, cockroaches and spiders and the heat had us checking out two days early. We were woken up the first night by a lizard peeing on my wife’s head. The second morning we woke to cockroaches crawling over our feet and the third morning spiders in the bed. I would call this place more Glamping than I would a hotel. As long as you know that going in and are with “nature” as they put it you should be ok. Also the heat. It is very humid at this place. Because it is located on the east side of the island it sees a few rains storms often throughout the day. Combine that with the 90 degree heat and no air and you are in one hot room. After spending the day in the heat at the beach or whatever you decide to do sometimes you just want to go relax in your nice cool room. We knew this place had no air when we booked and didn’t think the heat would be a problem but unfortunately we found ourselves avoiding our AirBnb during the day to avoid the heat and bugs.
This place also uses a private outdoor shower. Sounds really romantic right? What you don’t know is that because of the rain and wind storms you couldn’t just hop in the shower when you felt like it. You had to wait for a break in the weather and then jump in. And hope the cool breeze wasn’t blowing. Brrrr...
By the third morning my wife was bit up by bugs. We were losing sleep because of the heat, bugs and lizards. We had a friends wedding to get ready for and we knew we wouldn’t be able to do that here because of the humidity. We were done and ended up checking out early so that we could enjoy our last two days. We ended up finding a place close by with a great location, air conditioning and no bugs!
I am by no means telling you not to stay here. It is a beautiful location that has been enjoyed by many. I am only telling you to be fully prepared for lots of bugs and heat. If you are an avid camper this would be an amazing vacation for you.
