The dream temple was just like the pictures. It was def a cool alternative to the condos near the beaches and resorts. It’s like a guest house next to a main house so even though you share the pool with the main house it felt very private. We didn’t really see anyone else the whole week we were there. The hut is about 30 minutes to the South shore town of Kihei, about 40 minutes from the primo beaches of Wailea, and about an hour to the west side town of Lahaina and a little further to the great beaches of the west side. It rains a lot in Haiku but don’t worry because it’s not raining on some other cool part of the island so you can def have a great time somewhere everyday. The best thing about the hut was the bbq grill, we used it every night, and our own private hot tub which me and my husband and my brother and his girlfriend also all used every night. And lastly they kindly had beach gear for us to borrow which was a huge help to us, towels, beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas and even snorkeling equipment.
