Maui Eco Retreat was truly an amazingly wonderful experience! I have traveled to Maui several times and I have never vacationed in a place as naturally beautiful as the Bamboo Temple. It is as private as promised, beautiful beyond words! It is not a resort, so if that is the kind of vacation you are looking for, this is not it. However, if you want to experience Maui at its best, complete with great hikes, untouched shoreline, and waterfalls, you will not be disappointed with the Maui Eco Retreat. Raphael greeted us upon arrival and handled any small problems we encountered. We've been home less than a week and already want to go back! Thank you for making our vacation perfect!
