So welcoming from day one. Beautiful property and we had a private cabin. My little daughter was amazed by all the property had to offer and wanted to come back early from our volcano adventures everyday.

Off-the-Beaten-Path

This location was the perfect spot for an off-the-beaten-path experience! It’s got a cafe, mini farm, hot tub/sauna, a nursery, and so much more. We only stayed one night in one of the cabins and it was excellent. You can hear the rains and the forest sounds right outside your window. The people there were also so friendly, inviting, and warm.

Booked here for just one night because it was very affordable. Wasn't expecting it to be as much fun as it was! Besides being a beautiful property, there was an EDM dance party going on a short walk from the room. Fun people, great music, free party! The room you'll be staying in is small, and you'll be sharing restroom facilities, but for the price, all the wonderful common areas, the spa, the gorgeous surroundings, and the possibility of live DJs (!) you get far more than you paid for. A wonderful Hawaiian surprise.

Peaceful, quiet retreat

This was the best sleep i have gotten in forever. It was so dark and peaceful (coqui frogs and peacocks don’t bother me; they’re like a lullaby from nature). The beds were very comfortable. If you stay in the flower named rooms, you are close to a bathroom and have a sink in your room. The cabins are a little more rustic in that you have to walk to the shared showers and bathrooms. The outdoor showers were lovely and clean. The bathrooms were also clean and usually there wasn’t a wait. The hostess is lovely and inviting. The coffee in the morning was very appreciated and delicious. I wish i had gone to a yoga class. All in all if you don’t mind roughing it a little, and especially if you have even a little bit of hippy free spirit to you, this is a great place to stay!

We are given Cabin 1 and there was no lighting outside and the bathrooms were a 3 min walk away in the dark. I feel and hurt my knee trying to use the bathroom at night, this caused me alot of discomfort for the rest of my stay. This part of the island is wet, and rain is common. There is mud that makes the ground dangerous to walk on. I would not recommend this place due to safety concerns.
