If you have not already met Milio and Kirsten you are in for a wonderful experience. They bought five acres on the south side of Nurse Natalie's property and moved here over a year ago. Along with their wonderful children, Sophia and Rome, they have worked tirelessly to build a very different sort of get-a-way here on the island.
From the Palapa Bar you can look north and theirs is the next beautiful pier with a big palapa on the reef end. Kirsten teaches yoga and in nice weather holds here classes there.
In the not so nice weather she holds them in the jungle hide-a-way a bit up towards the road.
I think there are seven casitas and they are so uniquely done you have to see them to believe them. There is a very big free form pool with a full sized coconut palm tree in the middle. There is also a broad shallow play area where the waterfall flows in before dumping into the pool.
The restaurant is called BEANS and she specializes, though not limited to, vegetarian food. They wanted to have a place where the local workmen could afford to eat and have the food they like to eat. This is for breakfast and lunch. Soon they will be open for dinner. The dinning room is on the 2nd floor among the trees overlooking the sea. They will have a more upscale dinner.
At the Verde meeting yesterday Kirsten told how many-many citrus trees they are bringing in. She is a true believer in sustainable living and wants to grow healthy organic food for the restaurant and her family.
Can you tell how much I like these people?
They are working on a web page and as soon as I get some pictures I will post them.
