The Kiva Sweet…
Kiva means “a chamber, built wholly or partly underground, used by male Pueblo Indians for religious rites”. My very own chamber masked within a moment of rapture away from the world where I could be, hear, see, and partake of the native island ecosystem, the local culture, great people and God’s flavors at hand -- a true paradise of opulent island flora and fauna. The Kiva is tucked away on the ground level of the property with all access to the beauty and privacy. Contemporary in style equipped with essentials. And if something is lacking, ask Carol or John and most surely they will provide it.
If this were not enough, the hosts’, Carol and John, were delightful, caring and just as welcoming as the unique qualities of the property! As a lone traveler, it was like having family in this new place. My welcoming packet and goodies was a pleasant surprise after the long flight. Everything I needed was available in the Kiva “Sweet” and close proximity to places: house hold goods and utensils, local groceries and restaurants, even Starbucks! But the view, the breeze, the singing birds, and the hospitality were heavenly! It was worth staying in, cooking, relaxing, befriending the hosts’, and if lucky, enjoying the local guitar artists sing next door.
The Kiva served me as a temporary home while I got situated on the island. It’s place where you can escape from the everyday hustle of work or the tourist thing, return to The Kiva and unwind.
Thank you…Rosemary
