Staying with James & Flora was the best decision we could have made. The place itself is very unique with a cabin-in-the-woods/farmhouse feel to it and the giant tree is very much a part of it. James and Flora themselves are really what make this place a gem though. James made us breakfast each day (in addition to his own coffee, try it!), going over our plans with us, joking around, and adding great suggestions. All that definitely made us look forward to each morning. They had beach and snorkel gear that they were more than happy to let us borrow in addition to maps and books about the area.

If having a thin barrier between yourself and nature is very difficult for you, this may not be your kind of place. It's very open air with screening to keep out the mosquitos (which we had no problems with the entire time) and you can hear the sounds of nature very clearly. To us that added to the great experience, but may not be for everyone.

I cannot emphasize enough how kind James & Flora are. You would be hard pressed to find kinder people to stay with. They treat you like great friends right upon meeting them and have invaluable information about the island.

Overall it would be very difficult to find a more unique experience with nicer hosts.
