This is indeed a magical place to stay! The property is sprawling and stunning, with hikes and sights of its own. The view from the Bamboo Temple was unmatched — taking in sunrise from bed or sipping coffee from the lawn chairs while watching for whales in the ocean each morning were special experiences. We only interacted with staff at check-in and enjoyed the privacy and peace of our hut over five days. I also cannot recommend the private chef option with Gabriel and Andrea more highly — ask about it (for purchase separately)! We had delicious, healthy meals daily that accommodated our dietary needs and fully removed the stress of finding food from our stay on Maui. The chefs were also super communicative and respectful of our space (letting us know before coming by, etc.). You are staying in a jungle environment rather than a hotel so be ready to see and hear tiny cute geckos throughout the unit — they were not a bother to us at all. It’s also important to stay vigilant about cleaning crumbs and not leaving food out, etc. so as not to draw ants, but this was not too hard to accommodate. The Temple is a single room, with bedroom/well-appointed kitchen/bathroom/closet all in an adjoining space separated only by curtains. With screen doors and windows open we never felt it got stuffy or claustrophobic. Outdoor shower had great hot water and a lovely (secluded) view — I recommend bringing waterproof sandals to wear. All in all, we we had great proximity to Maui’s day trips and sights while returning to what felt like a private paradise.
