Incredible gem in the middle of the jungle. I was excited to visit, but I have to be honest it was probably the best experience I've ever had in my life. After a year living plugged into computers, the internet, and all things electronic, I wanted to be as far away as possible from all of that, and I absolutely found peace of mind at Shanna's. My favorite thing was sitting on the porch at night listening to the frogs and watching the winds blow the palms. It is magical being surrounded by nature and knowing that a short distance away is the ocean. Some of the most beautiful areas of the entire Big Island I thought were along the southern coast just nearby. If you are looking for the real deal, I highly encourage you to stay here, you'll be at the end of the earth and it will change your life for the better.
