It is like you are staying in the rainforest! It was really neat and I loved the gardens. It also had a great location close to Hana and the Venus Pool, which was awesome. I was not prepared for the amount of mosquitoes and the aggressiveness of them (very blood thirsty....might have been just me though). Bring bug spray with you and spray yourself before you even get out of the car. Be prepared for the occasional roach (I think that these are a common thing in Hawaii... but they still freak me out) and the house gecko (I thought these guys were pretty cute). Sybil provides a welcoming basket and the use of the washer/dryer was great! I loved her information binder...it was very helpful with our stay.
