For a first-time visitor to BI, I couldn't find better hosts than Kurt and Kana. Kurt was in regular communication and made it easy to find the B&B (definitely make use of his descriptive directions). Kurt also had great suggestions on how to spend the day - from good snorkeling spots to hikes and an epic drive around the island - and he lent us beach towels and chairs. Kana's breakfasts were fantastic (mac nut pancakes and fresh fruits from their orchards one morning). Make sure to read Kurt's information book in each room to learn more about your hosts, and when you sit on the porch, offer up a lap to the sweet outdoor cat Chibby. Watch for wild pigs on the road when you drive in at night, and the not-so-wild neighbor's donkey when you leave in the morning.
