The place was surprisingly big, I thought it was just an ordinary building at first. Bia from the front desk gave us a tour while we were waiting at the lobby, also tried their restaurant, surprisingly food were affordable with big servings.

The restful location, on the water's edge, looking across the wide bay, with picturesque boats criss-crossing the water against a background of beautiful sunsets and sunrises, was awesome. Breakfasting on the native-thatched verandah next to this, or drinking wine there in the cool of evening, was a most memorable pleasure. But above all, Maria's big warm heart, enthusiastic recommendations, help and advice; and her great generosity with her time, knowledge and skills, in helping to organise further legs of our journey, and to book great touristic highlights, were truly outstanding. Honestly, she is one in a million, and her inspired input set our trip on a thrilling trajectory. It was the best vacation I have ever experienced. Her family and lovely sisters, too, were charming, helpful and entertaining - a delight to get to know. A wonderful experience overall, to stay there, and to meet them all - it is highly to be recommended. Looking back, Maria Kulafu Kubo House really was an inspired choice!

We had an amazingly warm welcome by Maria and her sister Lalaine (who manages the cafe below the property). The room is as described and as depicted on the pictures. It's a good option for the price. If you plan to stay longer, I would book Maria's room further out of the city as that one is more spacious, great value for money and you get the chance to meet the family as well as all their pets! Maria and her sister showed us the whole town, took us to go for dinner and helped us a lot with finding our way further on the island. I will definitely be back and if I only need to stay for a night or even take a ferry in the middle of the night, I would stay in this apartment close to the ferry.

Maria was the absolute best Help us with a ton of stuff and made us feel very at home
