This place is exactly how it's described, a jungle hang out! You will see chickens in the yard, geckos on the windows and when the sun goes down, a million birds and crickets and cicadas singing. If that's not your cup of tea then I definitely wouldn't recommend it. The place had all the modern conveniences we needed while being a rainforest experience, and it's fairly convenient to all the places you would want to visit on the hilo side of the island. All in all a good experience!
