This was booked last minute due to a last minute cancellation for another property.
Beautiful property especially for the earthy type of individual. It was perfect for my needs however I don’t see people staying here that require more of an upscale type of setting. Leaving the room to use the community restroom is probably the only thing that was not too thrilling. All in all it fulfilled my expectations.

This is not the place to stay if you're looking for basic cleanliness. Unfortunately this place needs to work on their property, but I suppose you get what you pay for. I could not stay here because it was in such bad shape, but had to pay for it, which was disappointing. They had indoor furniture outdoors on the lanai covered in a fine layer of silt, the 'gym' equipment was covered in rust, and the bathroom was filled with flies...I would say it was like camping, but most campsites take cleanliness very seriously, and I could always smell the cleaning products in most camp bathrooms. Also, who puts upholstered couches outside in a tropical rainforest? Thats asking for trouble. This place obviously hasn't used heavy duty cleaning products on anything for a very long time, or done any thorough cleaning in a long time. Not a place to relax.

This property surpassed my expectations for a quiet and restorative retreat. It seems that others who have booked do not read the clearly stated events that are posted and then are surprised. The property goes they great pains to alert travelers before hand. I found their care and communication to be outstanding.
This is a working, biodynamic farm... in paradise. To enjoy yourself fully here is to acknowledge that fact and believe all of the info posted.
I can't wait to go back and will in the Fall.

Such a beautiful atmosphere for a relaxing stay

I did not appreciate that there was a bee dance on the first night of our stay. Which was like a rager and random people coming on property at all times of the night. This was not described in the site. Did not feel safe with my family. I do not recommend for families.

Came all the way out here from Honolulu to get a nice night’s sleep in the jungle but ended up having the worst night’s sleep I’ve had in a very long time.
When given the key to my room, The Pono, I was also handed a set of ear plugs because they said it’s their weekly “Bee Dance” (something I wasn’t told before booking). Yes, a very loud, booming sound system could indeed be heard off in the distance but I actually found it not over bearing but decent to go to sleep to which I did easily. However, it was when the dance ended at 10:30pm, as promised, that I was awakened by inibriated

A very enjoyable stay for my holiday in Hawaii. I would love to return there.

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.

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!

I really enjoyed my stay, great place

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.

The people were welcoming, rooms were clean but, at our age, we needed an in-room bathroom. Disappointed we had to pay for the coffee after the first cup.

I love the surrounding nature around us. Our daughter is very comfortable. And my husband been getting the deep sleep he’s missed.

It was awesome!
The only issue was that the smoke detector was not disconnected.

It's a nice property, and the people there were VERY NICE and HELPFUL however, our stay was not pleasant. It was very noisy as there was a party/event which was noisy until at least 10 pm, and our room did not have AC therefore we kept the window opposite to this party open room to provide airflow and to keep this room somewhat cool. And after the party, we would hear animals, which was nice at first but when you are trying to sleep, it was just annoying. We didn't get much sleep that night.
We were there just to pass the night and fresh up for the following day and we knew that bathroom would be shared and there would be a sink in the room, which was not the case and the shared bathroom was dirty and not maintained, the shower head did not have any presure, it was rusted. Although the people were amazing, I would not stay here again.

Checked in later in the evening and was pleasantly greeted even after the posted check in time.
Spa was relaxing and perfect for recovering from a long day and hike.
Sanctuary was exactly what was needed

Do not recommend. Owner has been notified about bed bugs, but does not care to do anything about them.

We were informed the morning after our arrival that we had to leave. We were told we could go to the kitchen for breakfast, and the people staying there were very rude. The only nice person was Brenda, who tried to help us figure something out.
3.6
The toilet was not done, walking to the shared one is not convenient. Complimentary breakfast doesn't look good.

This property was not as described -- it is an intentional living community, with multiple somewhat makeshift buildings surrounded by the newer cabins. Our cabin itself was clean and comfortable, but there are only shared bathroom facilities in a separate building with outdoor showers, which was unfortunate as it was pouring rain our entire stay. The sauna and spa looked new and clean but were completely on the opposite side of the property. The night we arrived, they were hosting a "bee dance" (which sounded essentially like a techno-style rave) until 11 pm, which was quite loud with flashing lights and only 10 yards from our cabin. No air conditioning, internet access was unavailable except in the shared lounge space, and cell service was spotty on T-mobile though Verizon was workable. We were sent a long text the day before arrival, with rules for the community (including no meat being allowed in the shared kitchen spaces), instructing us to call so we could be met when we arrived, but this person never answered or returned calls. We got a tour from a helpful member of the community when we arrived, however. Overall, if we had been prepared for the nature of the facility it might have been acceptable, but it was not at all what we were expecting from the description.

This was not a hotel but more of a camp with some nice small cabins. Ok for a night or two for exploring the lava flows. It’s BYO for cooking. Not great for disabled or elderly.
