Jade and her 4 year old son Alakai, were so hospitable. We arrived late and Jade greeted us on the main road so we could follow her back from the Lava Temple. From there on she was a great host. Her son allowed our son to play with his toys, Jade suggested places to go visit, and even joined us on some of our adventures.

The Lava Temple itself is out of this world...literally - you feel like you are actually living in a temple on the moon. This because you are basically living on a dried lava dessert for miles on end with steam vents on the horizon. It's beauty is beyond words. The accommodation only takes one night to get used to. it's naturally ventilated and has no doors and only a couple of walls. This is the best part, and is very relaxing.

I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a different experience, one that will be memorable for ever!

Recommendations - You need to rent a car. This is a must. You should also pick up food and supplies on the way there because there isn't much around there that's open late. Try breakfast at Uncle Roberts (2 min drive away). It's amazing.

Jade will hook you up with the adventures: black sand beaches, hikes, warm springs, markets, volcanoes etc

Thanks Jade for the great great experience!
