Because I read and researched the area I gave it a 5 star for location. If you are looking to be AWAY from the hustle and bustle and people. Stay here! It is a drive outside of town but the perfect little rainforest location!
The four guest cabins have plenty of space between so you have privacy, and it was quiet. At night the sounds of the frogs and the forest come alive! Once inside even with the window open it still was not as loud as I was anticipating or expecting.
The Green cabin was exactly as represented. Small kitchen (no microwave) so if you are planning quick meals make sure they are ones you can cook in the oven or on the stove. Plenty of towels, she even had two beach towels to use if going to the plunge pool and warm tubs, and two bathrobes to use if you would like. There was also, body wash, shampoos, first aid kit, and other essentials you may need and have forgotten. Our cabin had a tv, we did not use it one time, the wifi is slow it is hard to get a good signal in the middle of paradise, do not expect wonders. Cell service was non-existent (we did have service with the wifi). But these were things we did not need, or miss while there. No air conditioning, but a small fan was inside the unit.
We did not use the plunge pool but it was nice and clean and the tubs were changed the morning before we went down to them so they were not heated all the way back up naturally yet. However, the short little walk down to them was nice and quiet. We were gone at sunrise and back well after sunset, so we did not walk the steam vent trail the grounds were breathtaking so I am sure the trail would have been too!
The drive down the road from the turnoff we saw, wild pigs, an endangered Hawaiin owl, and many other little creatures.
We were able to meet Jacklynn, and some of the wonderful staff (cleaning lady, and a gardener) Everyone had a warm and welcoming presence. Very warm down-to-earth love and peaceful vibe. EXACTLY what I was looking for. A place to reconnect with myself, connect with my wife, and somewhere that technology and people were not in abundance.
This was the perfect getaway!
