A beautiful setting run by a warm, knowledgable, local family. Very comfortable rooms all with great views, patios, and A/C. Fantastic lushness adds abundant flowers and birdlife to the steep grounds. Rooms are accessed by a series of "Paths" that give the feel of heading up into your own private treehouse.

Small restaurant on the premises that serves great meals. Whatever you do, if you are a seafood lover do not leave Yap without having special ordered the "Island Dinner".

John and his wife Madeline can arrange just about anything that you might need, incuding special tours of the island. Also ask about visiting Yap's recently setup, and community supported, Marine protected area.

If you are looking to find a special place that has that 'safari lodge" feel, this is your spot. Diver's will be well catered to from The Pathways location right across the lagoon from both Trader's Ridge and Manta dive operations.
