The Maui Eco Retreat is indeed a very beautiful location. The trails on the property down to the ocean and waterfall were my favorite part. It's definitely designed and shaped by spiritual people, and the spaces really reflect that. We appreciated all the efforts to cultivate sustainability (the retreat is on solar power and recycles/composts everything possible). It is definitely off the beaten path - be comfortable driving on rough roads to get to the retreat. Nearby towns are Haiku (~20min drive) and Paia (~40min drive) with a handful of restaurants and grocery stores. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly (William did a great job of orientating us and giving us a comprehensive map of the area).
