The rainforest cottage was a dream! We wish we had scheduled an extra night or two in this beautiful location. The grounds were well kept and the cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
One huge perk was the fully stocked kitchen with spices and oils (check with the hosts ahead of time to see if they can check what's in the cupboard before you buy items like cooking oil -- our cottage had everything). We were able to make breakfast before heading out to explore each morning.
If you are a light sleeper, this might not be the perfect spot for you. The rain comes down heavy at night and the rainforest animals are not quiet.
During our stay, we noticed a lot of people popping in for a 1 or 2 night stay. We have minimal interaction with guests in the out cottages -- just a "hi" here and there.
Enjoy tea on the porch in the morning. Star gaze and enjoy the sounds of the rainforest at night. Make sure you check out local parks and attractions. The lava fields and black sand beaches are breathtaking. We also highly suggest the tide pools! Your hosts will have recommendations as well. :)
