We knew we were going to stay in a rain forest, but the week we were there was abnormally rainy. Kaeo had suggestions every day for things to do, places to go and where to eat. We enjoyed everything in spite of the rain. The coquis sang to us at night, Kaeo came over with freshly baked goods and fruit, the Hale was unique and well decorated with all kinds of fun things. I would definitely prefer this place to a high rise on the beach. I can't say enough about the hospitality here.
