    The open communication with Beatus and how remote it was. Literally. In a banana tree forest. Beautiful property for a quiet retreat! Wi-Fi, use of credit cards and hot showers are there! Super kind host!

    Such a kind family that runs this place. The rooms are big and comfortable, and the hot water works well. The WiFi also works well, given where you are. The location facing Kilimanjaro is perfect.
