Joia was an excellent host and the house was utter bliss, such an epically beautiful place. Wake up and watch the sun rise over the endless ocean and against the lush green valley ridge. Get enveloped in the brilliant starscape at night. I loved harvesting from the orange, avocado, and banana trees; the raucous chorus of birds, insects, and animals. Meet the cute little geckos, the neighbors' cats, mongoose (okay probably stay away from them), cows bellowing down the hill. This place is spectacular.
