This was a great stay and I give it 5 stars. Here are some tips for guests and a few things to consider:
-there is no AC but the screen windows all around can open and the breeze is just fine. also there is a fan, but we didn't need it.
-all the windows have curtains, so you can have privacy. Green house has the most privacy as it's in the back.
-expect to hear sounds of the rainforest quite loudly every night. while this freaked me out, it lulled my husband to sleep. if this bothers you, bring earplugs or earphones.
-you're in the rainforest. unavoidable to get some bugs and critters. we had 2 lizards during our stay, 1 in the bathroom and 1 was in our luggage.
-speaking of rainforest, it rains a ton out here. I find the sound of rain soothing. bring a jacket.
-the hiking trail is really neat and only takes 20-30 minutes to go through, I suggest you try it. it's like an enchanted forest.
-we never used the hot tubs. they were not hot enough for our liking and honestly we weren't totally comfortable with sharing the small amount of water with all the other guests. we journeyed out to pohoiki hot springs instead. large hot spring by the beach and very hot.
-the area has no cell signal whatsoever. load your maps with wifi before you leave the property bc your map won't load later.
-wifi speed is usable but on the slow side, not good for power users or working.
-there is a gate to enter the property, everytime you enter and leave you have to get out of your car and move/lock the gate manually. Best to have a partner in the passenger seat to hop out and do this every time.
-Jacklynn is sweet. She will give you fruits if you ask.
-lots of towels are provided, robes too!
-there's pans and stove if you want to cook. and a full fridge. kitchen is great!
-this airbnb uses all the best quality things. I love that they provided high quality toilet paper and paper towels.
-overall the place itself is lovely and an experience in itself. nature lovers especially will love this.
