If you’ve never stayed at a private property like this and are worried you won’t have privacy, don’t worry! You have WAY more privacy than a resort.
Raphael pointed out great island places to visit when we checked in and had maps to help us out.
They offer several classes and sessions if you’re interested in taking yoga or anything similar but they aren’t salesy at all.
The road is a bit rough, we were able to do it in a compact rental but a wrangler would be nice to have! Try to arrive during daylight as it is pretty hard to find the first time in the dark but after you find it, it’s a piece of cake.
Outdoor shower only! If you are modest it may not be for you but honestly, we never saw anyone while we were outside in it and it’s in a pretty good private corner behind the bamboo temple.
Lot’s of geckos! They were super cute!
Take hiking shoes! The trails are steep but there are ropes you can hold onto.
I would definitely stay again! You’re close enough to drive to the resort side easily and it was my favorite area on the island. Gorgeous! Your hosts and the staff are friendly, honest, and genuine.
