I didn't know what to expect at the Maui Eco Retreat. I just knew that it was in the area I wanted to stay and that it looked beautiful from the pictures. Well I would say that the pictures do not do the place justice at all. Fist of all, I stayed in the Dolphin Room. This room is in the main house. The room was amazing. The room was surrounded by windows. Now if privacy is your thing this might not be the room for you but if you like a lot of light and spaciousness, and if you would like to be able to watch the sun rise over the ocean from YOUR BED, then this room will blow your mind. Now I wouldn't say this place is for everyone. If you're looking for the honeymoon suite at the Ritz you may be disappointed. But if you're looking for a place that is surrounded by beauty and makes you feel at home, a place where you can cook meals for yourself and venture out when you want to, then this is your place. There's also a yoga studio "temple" that is amazing for dancing or playing music or doing yoga. It was underutilized but I made good use of it and was so appreciative of it's existence on the property. The people who work on the property are absolutely lovely and there was even a lovely couple that made delightful deserts and meals to order. (See card near entrance). There is also an amazing massage therapist (Amy Chang) who comes to the property to give massages by request. There is also an incredible hike from the property to the top or bottom of a waterfall that's at least fifty feet high and where you'll likely have the whole thing to yourself to swim around in. Simply put, I feel a tremendous amount of gratitude that I found this place and I felt like the rate was very fair for what I received. This trip I went by myself because I very much needed some time to myself but I hope to return with my beloved so I can share this magical place with her. Thanks Kutira and Rafael! And thank you to all the staff who worked on the property.
