We truly enjoyed our two-week stay at the Paliuli farm. Abbey and Marc were very kind and helpful whenever we needed something, or advice where to go shopping, etc. A brief chat with the owner, Marc, was very pleasant and enlightening, he has intimate knowledge about Hawaii's fauna and flora.
The "farm" is in fact a beautiful garden, with bananas, coffee trees, oranges, papayas and other fruit we never saw before. No cows or smell of manure ...
We were in the Mango suite, with a beautiful view of the ocean from the lanai, where we had our meals and enjoyed the view, particularly at sunset time. As it was the beginning of the rainy season, we had multiple chances to observe double rainbows.
One reason to avoid this place would be if you expect a pristine hotel room. This place has some age and rustic appeal, somewhat like a "cabin in the woods", with a comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen and a nice, clean bathroom.
