First and foremost, Jerry has taken the time to detail so many things in his binder. It was a breath of fresh air to have perfect detailed instructions on how to use the TV, where to go, the best spots to eat, etc. The binder was our best friend. I read lots of reviews about the frogs and rosters, embrace them as we did. It adds to the experience and makes it real. Don’t use the ear plugs he has provided. Love the experience as intended. I went outside and chirped along with them, it’s magical. The shower is magical, especially if it rains while you are in it. The location is exceptional. We drove the island and experienced everything we could and were so thankful we stayed in Pahoa. It is rich and vibrant both in culture and color. The farmers market is absolutely amazing. They had everything from a guy making pizza in a mini oven to tamales! We did not experience one negative thing on our trip. We showed everyone respect and it was given back to us 10 fold. Some of the online reviews of restaurants are misleading because of harsh reviews. Be kind, show love, and embrace the island, it will give it back to you without a doubt.
