Very kind and helpful hosts, who loaned their umbrellas to us and accommodated our last minute change of breakfast time when we were running late from a morning hike. They also packed our breakfast to go when we checked out early on our last day. Walking along the train tracks is by far the best way to get to town and back in under 10 minutes. The paved road is quite windy and steep, so even the tuk-tuks struggle on it. It's a rustic place in the middle of nature, so don't be surprised by a few ants or a cricket. The toilet tank also wasn't refilling well on our last night. Just small issues. ##### GENET ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Nanaimo](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d3908-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [River Rock Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-River-Rock-Casino-Resort.h4810562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mykonos](https://www.expedia.ca/Mykonos-Hotels.d1707.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fox Jaffna by Fox Resorts – Boutique Heritage Luxury](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-FOX-JAFFNA-By-Fox-Resorts.h17399149.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hamilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels.d3963.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.ca/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Resort.h1487820.Hotel-Information) > > [Cofresi Palm Beach & Spa Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Cofresi-Palm-Beach-Spa-Resort-All-Inclusive.h692656.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/phx/detroit-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vieux Fort (UVF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/uvf/toronto-to-vieux-fort) > > [flights from dawson city airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yda/flights-from-dawson-city-airport) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to New Brunswick (ZBF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/zbf/montreal-to-bathurst) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Lima (LIM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/lim/montreal-to-lima) > > [Flights from San Diego (SAN) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/san/yyz/san-diego-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Whitehorse (YXY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/yxy/abbotsford-to-whitehorse) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Kathmandu (KTM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ktm/toronto-to-kathmandu) > > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lax/yhz/los-angeles-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Los Angeles (ONT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ont/edmonton-to-ontario) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Stanfield-Intl.d5916761.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Kingsway Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsway-Mall-North-Central-Edmonton.d6144471.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Miami Beach Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Beach.d8833.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Punta Cana Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana.d601906.Destination-Travel-Guides)
