If you are looking for serenity off the tourist path, this is the place to be. Very much the rain forest environment. Pua was lovely and gracious; I'm only sorry our paths did not cross more but, hey, we had volcanoes and tiny communities to explore. Her son was also a gracious host, giving us the lay of the land. We only got one night of rain and it was spectacular to hear from inside our delightful lodging.
