First of all, Louisa is the warmest, loveliest host you could ask for! She made sure we had everything we needed, while still giving us complete privacy. She was easy to reach when we needed anything, and super laid back! When I felt myself coming down with a cold, she invited us in and gave me loads of vitamins and herbs to help nip it in the bud. She is a joy to talk to, and we can’t wait to visit with her again!
The Bali Hut and Louisa’s property is a magical place. Every square inch of the wooden hut was beautifully hand carved. Not a detail was missed! The bed is new and comfortable, and even has an optional mosquito net for those windless nights. The tropical plants all around the property are beautiful and sensory. I’m from the islands and never tire of the colors, smells, and textures that surround you in the jungle. At night the coqui frogs are quite noisy. If you’re a light sleeper, I’d suggest bringing earplugs, since the Bali Hut is screened on all four sides. There are privacy screens on 3 sides so you can perfectly see out, but no one can see in!
It was a lot like “glamping”. We brought a cooler, food, water, and ground coffee. She provided some fresh water for drinking, cups, and a small coffee maker. We were happy that we brought headlamps to get around the property after dark, extra bug spray, and rain jackets. It is the jungle, after all!
