Ian and Coral were friendly and kind. They shared their home-grown papaya and mango with us, and happily gave us advice and answers to our questions about the island. They had beach mats, chairs, and towels available, which we used daily. Also, we were impressed to learn that Ian designed and built Asia House himself.

One thing we must share about the room for rent is that it gets uncomfortably hot and stuffy. There are large sliding doors on the porch, but the ceilings are high, and there is no window on the other side of the room to provide a cross-breeze. We never could manage to get fresh air in, even with the overhead and oscillating fans running.
