Bamboo Heaven in Maui is definitely the best kept secret on Maui!! I would highly recommend everyone to stay here! Our Host, Janice, is more than a 'Super Host'! She is such a gracious, wonderful, loving and caring person and she made my daughter and I feel right at home as soon as we arrived at her beautiful home! She greeted us the moment we arrived and showed us to our amazing room. Once inside, there was a 'CONGRATULATIONS' sign on the bamboo wall. Prior to arriving, we had been in email contact and I had told her that we were visiting Maui to celebrate my daughter's graduation from college. She even had a bottle of Sparkling Apple Cider chilling in the refrigerator for us! Janice had also made fresh banana bread for us to enjoy with the fresh fruits (papaya, apple banana and lychee) from her beautiful garden. One day, she made poke for us and it was so ono/delicious!! She is so very thoughtful and kind!!

The room decor is tropical and modern and beautifully designed with the bamboo theme throughout the entire place. I loved it! It is exceptionally clean and well stocked with plenty of food in the refrigerator, wonderful breakfast foods and beverages, toiletries, and items to use for a day at the beach, a picnic or hiking . The bed is very comfortable and the bamboo ceiling fan kept our room cool.
The private lanai is truly what makes this place so special. It overlooks the lush, green yard to an amazing ocean view. Watching the sunrise every morning and listening to the birds sing made it such a peaceful place to begin the day. Sometimes, her pets would come by to greet us, too. We enjoyed the coconut trees, fruit trees, sugar cane, and various tropical flowers along with the gentle breeze and rain in the evenings. The surrounding area was very nice. She shared with us the basic safety tips for the island as well as the best local food spots to try and areas to visit and shop. She always made time for us and we had many great conversations. Our first night there, she told us about the well known Wind Surfers Beach where the turtles come up to the shore every evening. It is so amazing to see all of those Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles!
Another day, she invited us to a wonderful bazaar in Makawao where we also enjoyed the famous Malasadas. On our last day there in Haiku, she taught us how to hula, open a coconut and drink the fresh coconut juice, and enjoy fresh sugar cane from her plant. Her parting gifts and especially her loving prayer truly filled us with the Aloha Spirit.
It was a wonderfully awesome stay and experience, especially for my daughter's first visit to Maui! Bamboo Heaven Maui in Haiku is a slice of heaven here on earth. We will be back for sure! Aloha and Mahalo Janice!
