This was our first excursion to the town of Pahoa. The retreat was about 1/2 mile from the coast, and as a whole, the property was beautiful, peaceful, and friendly. Even after a last-minute change to plans, everyone greeted us with a warm welcome and were hospitable in moving us to the cabin the "Ocean Vista" with a stellar view of the ocean and lots of privacy. It's an incredible spot with a well-kept shower and lighted walkways. We also loved waking up and walking to the communal meditation house to meditate as well as the morning yoga class at 8 am. What a tranquil way to start the day.

Over all our entire vacation was fantastic, and the Kirpal Ecological / Meditation getaway in Pahoa was a definite highlight of the trip. We would definitely go back.
