Akiko’s is a real genuine experience! If you want luxury this is not the place and you will be disappointed. However If you want to be engulfed in nature (rain Forrest), and love to live simply even if it’s for a little while you can’t beat Akiko’s!
Here are a few things I would recommend:
Come light, don’t overpack
Rent a car if you can
If you are type O blood type you will get bitten by mosquitoes so bring good repellent, long sleeves, pants and hats might be a good idea
Ask Akiko to attend a meditation session in the morning. You must be able sit for 40 minutes in silence.
If you don’t have a car bring groceries and or food on your first day. There are no stores close by.
Be aware Car rentals are expensive
With that said I highly recommend the Mango shack if you are a single traveler. The view out the room is worth a billion dollars ❤️ and you feel like you living in and are part of the rain Forrest!
Highly recommend this place if you come with the right attitude and expectations.
