I'm so pleased with my experience in the cottage and in getting to know the Kalapana area! I was looking for some local-style solo time the first week of my island adventures and the grotto was a magical home in the jungle for sure. It is rustic and close to the elements while also providing a safe sheltered place to cook, enjoy the rain and surroundings, and the wifi was great so I was able to work remotely on my trip. I loved waking up to the living room view and relaxing into the island vibe. I cooked and ate very simply with the groceries I brought, hung out on the beach and made new friends and explored the area without a lot of plans. It was perfect and Michael was a thoughtful host. Just be sure you understand the description and know there is a lot of moisture in this climate, and that outdoor bathing/bathroom, boisterous coqui frogs, and rain on a metal roof will be part of the experience. Thanks Michael, I'd love to visit again!
