Bak A Yaad

Super cool, it’s a little gem

What a gem to find this place! I stayed for two days and did not want to leave! Points to note: 1. Cozy 2. Extremely clean, 3. Very safe (24-hour security) 4. Friendly and accommodating host 5. Cleaning available upon request 6. Clean Pool Upon entering the premises I felt as though I had entered the Garden of Eden! Fruit trees (with names on each) along with ornamental plants surround each cottage. If you want a safe, eco-friendly escape from the city, this is it! No regrets at all! Will be back soon. To the host, Jordan, thank you so much for setting the bar this high. Thi

A Magical Place: When I arrived at Bak A Yaad on February 4th I was greeted with such warm and friendly faces. It was at that moment I felt safe as a lone traveler. I started my stay in one of the hostels which was comfortable. It was nice to take advantage of the community kitchen where I could cook meals or use the refrigerator to put food and drinks. The community area is also nice because you can hangout, play games, and even meet other guests from all over the world. About half way through my stay I had the opportunity to switch to one of the cottages which are hard to come across because they book up fast. I absolutely LOVE the cottages. It allows for privacy and you have your own kitchenette, tv, and private bathroom. There were days I just wanted to lay in bed and relax because the place is THAT nice. While the property is BEAUTIFUL and CLEAN what really makes this place a magical experience is indeed the staff. From day one they became my family. Allecia checked me in and that was a smooth process. As we walked to the hostel I met Ms. Elaine or as I call her “Mama Elaine.” They are the most BEAUTIFUL souls that I have ever met! Then, I met CJ who is very nice and keeps up with the landscaping, in which he does an amazing job. You really feel like you’re in a jungle. Lastly, I met Jordan and Joanna. Such AMAZING souls/host Honestly, there are no real words to describe how much they made my stay SO COMFORTABLE and made me feel like I was at home. The best thing I can say is just stay there so you can have the same magical experience that I had for 10 days! I love and appreciate each and every one of them! I can’t wait to get a visit from my new family! -Constance
