My husband and I were on our honeymoon in January in Maui, and we stayed here in Hana for two nights.
Before our trip, Tania provided great tips and tricks for driving the Road to Hana, instructions and info about our stay, and more- which we found to be very helpful in our planning and during our trip.
The place was clean & comfortable, and instructions for checking in and out were clear. The outside toilet and shower may not be for everyone, but I think you could say the same about the Road to Hana and actually deciding to stay in Hana. I would say that this listing may not be for those who are accustomed to a resort-type of experience. We were a little nervous for what it would be like but it was truly beautiful, adventurous and a perfect way to kick off our honeymoon.
There were other guests staying above and next to us which we heard noise from briefly, but it wasn’t terrible. At times when outside in the bathroom/shower area, it seemed like the other guests were super close - which they were - but our paths never actually crossed at all and it was certainly private.
It took some getting used to the cooking apparatuses- definitely different than your typical Stovetop and frying pan. We enjoyed the snacks provided (granola bars) and the coffee creamer in the cabinet was a plus, too.
We couldn’t figure out if there was an outdoor light to the first, outer shower area (with the newer/bigger shower-head) but there was definitely a light for the private shower by the toilet. It didn’t rain during our stay so that wasn’t any issue having to go outside to use the bathroom but I could see how that would be inconvenient if it was raining. I noticed that an umbrella was provided in that instance.
This location is perfect- not too difficult to find and a super short drive to the restaurants, general store, and beaches in Hana. It was an ideal resting stop so we didn’t have to rush through our Road to Hana adventure.
