Alyson and Kutira have clearly devoted their lives and fortune to creating a beautiful, peaceful, and almost hidden garden sanctuary. Their considerable efforts to live in harmony with the environment will forever separate them from their much larger corporate competitors. If you prefer sterile, air conditioned comfort over sleeping with fragrant night breezes under breathtaking starlight vistas, this resort is not for you. If 20-minute hot showers and all-you-can-eat buffets are your idea of a perfect vacation, you're not likely to appreciate this deliberately minimalist eco-resort. But, if descending a challenging rope trail to a pristine rocky coastline or swimming in a spring-fed pool perched atop a 150-foot waterfall appeals to your inner child, you may have found what you're searching for. This rare, return-to-nature experience is literally and figuratively "off the beaten path." I highly recommend you consider this lovely piece of old-Maui paradise.
