Wonderful, wonderful owners. I've never stayed somewhere where everyone was so kind and hospitable. I had some last minute schedule changes due to a typhoon and needed to both come and go early, but they were very understanding and accommodating. The hardest part about staying here was needing to leave so early to get home on time.They offer many activities, including a welcome tea ceremony, fan painting, shaved ice, and more. They also give you a list of nearby restaurants and activities on check-in.I couldn't recommend this place more.
