This place is magnificent. We had no idea quite how much we were going to love the secluded jungle cabin life but we truly hated to leave. On our three week trip we stayed at the nicest resort on the island, a timeshare condo in Lahaina and preferred the sanctuary of our week at the chalet to the busyness of the traffic and crowed resort towns.
This chalet is perfect driving distance to Paia’s shops and restaurants and Mona Foods grocery store (at Steve’s suggestion we shopped here for fruits and veggies - best mangos and bananas of my life). There are also some wonderful hikes and waterfalls and beaches on the Hana Highway that you can make day trips out of. We explored all of the parts of the Hana Highway that we previously passed right by on the way to Hana.
We even enjoyed just relaxing, reading and playing games on days that we felt like staying put. We traveled with our 18, 16 and 6 year old on this trip and they all agree it was their favorite. Just a fabulous adventure all together and wonderful family memories were made.
A side note: make sure you don’t leave any food out. Since it is the tropics there are ants and we found out the hard way before reading the manual that The owners left for us where they suggested leaving food in the refrigerator or microwave.
Another note: the WiFi here is fabulous and you can even program your Netflix code into their TV if there is something you like to watch.
