A zen retreat in Hana, this place is truly a gem! While the road to Hana was twisty and stressful… the sights and this accommodation made the trip worth it!! Because of the design of the suite, you have the open air beautifully flowing in and out of it.. the days can be hot but the nights were cool. We did get lucky the nights weren’t too humid because we didn’t encounter completely rainy days (mostly rained at night) and the fans were enough.. didn’t feel we needed AC.
Tip: plan ahead for the mosquitoes! They are naturally thriving due to the climate and environment and if you are prone to bites, the mosquitoes will not go easy on you here! But simply make sure u have repellent on PRIOR to arriving or what ever method you have and you’ll be fine! Be very mindful of your doors also when you open and close them… if you do well with this, there won’t be any mosquitoes to worry about once inside or at least only one or two to fend off!
Yes there were insects but we didn’t mind them. Keep clean and tidy and they shouldn’t be a bother :)
Great location near everything we wanted to do in Hana (Waioka ponds - across the street, Pipiwai trail, Waianapanapa state park, Hamoa Beach, Hana Coast Gallery, Hana Farms)… the farthest away about 25 mins was the Pipiwai trail, everything else much closer.
The sounds of nature and the frequent peaceful breezes made this place truly relaxing, especially for sleep, and the tower is a great place to unwind. The fresh bananas from Tracy were a plus! Lots of fresh fruit growing on the property.
Sybil and her assistant Heidi are very thorough with directions and details about the stay. Always something I look for in hosts. The directions were especially key since our phone service wasn’t great in Hana except for a few places, so this was helpful in not getting lost. My husband and I had a great time and would definitely consider staying here again!
