If you want to get off the grid and be one with the island, away from tourists... then this is the place for you! This place is away from it all... or at least 20-50 min :) So if you're trying to do the touristy things on the other side of the island be aware it will be a drive (but this place is on the Road To Hana so at least that is close). And this is not a place you can Postmates breakfast, lunch or dinner. The closest restaurants/food trucks are about 20 min away. So I suggest you stop for some groceries on the way in... or there is the option to book the in-house chef to cook you up some meals. But if you decide to eat nearby I suggest Baked on Maui for coffee and breakfast, the shrimp tacos and chicken rolled tacos at the Shaka Taco truck, and the sauteed Snapper w/fries at the Paia Fish Market.
I stayed in the Lotus room. It was a big room with a breath taking view of the ocean. There were other guests staying in the other 2 rooms but rarely saw them and the place is very quiet even with guests. And it was very safe. If you're wondering how do you share the community kitchen with other guests, each room has its own section to store food/drinks in the fridge and shelves. So no need to write your name on anything.
The directions to the place may be a bit too much or confusing but it's really not that difficult. Once you pass Twin Falls you'll be close. The Waze app got me there with no problems. I also suggest you rent a Jeep because you will take a dirt road into the jungle to reach your beautiful paradise. And beautiful it is! Do the Ocean Trail hike along the coast to the top of waterfall. It's not that hard and is no more than an hour. And the views are Instagram worthy! Unfortunately because of the rains I didn't get to hike down to the beach and bottom of the waterfall (it was steep and muddy) but I hope to do it next time!
So take in the sunrise (if it's not raining), enjoy the sounds of the ocean breeze kissing the bamboo trees, be hypnotized by the lush greenery and blue ocean views, and enjoy the calm and peace this place has to offer.
