We had an incredible honeymoon at the bamboo temple. It was much much better than expected. Raphael was such a great host. The grounds were beautiful and well cared for and the rental was great. Things we loved: the view out the front window from our bed, especially at sunrise. Skinny dipping at the swimming pools was amazing. The music with the ambiance of the gardens and temple was so tranquil. We loved showering together in the outside shower.
We rearranged our plans to spend more and more time there as the week went on.
Things to be aware of: It takes a while to drive anywhere from here. Plan accordingly. We had 7am whale watching planned in lahaina (1.5hrs) a few days and that was frustrating. Get comfortable with spiders (harmless) and geckos. The smell was slightly musty inside.
