We loved our stay here. We only stayed one night because we had other places to explore on the island, but we would have loved to spend more time at Barbara's residence. It's a very peaceful place with lush vegetation and soothing decor. We spent the night in the Lomilomi room, which was beautifully decorated (refined, harmonious, serene) and spacious. We arrived in the evening, but in the morning we were able to enjoy the superb view of the sea and the cliffs in the distance from the room. Every detail has been taken care of, making you want to stay. I've never had the opportunity to sleep in this kind of unusual room before. On top of that, we slept very well, the bedding is very good. You can hear the faint sound of frogs, but it doesn't bother you at all, and if it does, earplugs are provided. I actually found it very pleasant. The icing on the cake was the excellent and varied breakfast prepared by the team, which you can enjoy on a beautiful terrace while admiring the view. I highly recommend this somewhat magical place. Thank you, Barbara, for this wonderful surprise.

We loved our stay at Dragonfly Ranch. The location is out of the way but perfect for seeing the beauty and splendor that is Hawaii. The people are kind and interesting. It's not for everyone. You are quite immersed in nature. There will be geckos in your room and the birds and insects are right outside. It's almost like camping with a comfy bed.

This isn't really a hotel, it's some sort of hippy commune. So, as long as you coming looking for inner nirvana, you're ok...but, the first thing I saw was the dead cockroach, followed by the lizard and the frog...but that's not what bothered me, the issue is they say you have a private bathroom - which is partially true, however, it's outside, not in your room. So after I fought the frogs off, I could use the facilities...also, it's some sort of artist gathering and they were yelling at each other and playing guitars well into the night, so the whole place is just like a dirty old campfire with bad boyscouts and girlscouts...not a hotel, don't go looking for a hotel. The gym facility is more like you running around killing bugs (since the rooms don't have doors, they get in...). Book at your own risk.

Definitely my best experience I’ve had staying at this lovely place. The staff were so kind and helpful with any of our needs. We were supplied with all of our necessities and made us feel like family. Sam was exceptional and made sure our stay was nothing short of amazing. I would definitely would come here again.

This place is for the adventurer at heart. If you can’t handle cabin like conditions…interfacing with the wild & the noise displayed by the night critters & beautiful birds singing their hearts away early morning, this is not for you! We even had a gecko that would pop in to have breakfast with us…he loved jelly! The host & staff are very friendly & put out an organic spread for breakfast to start your day. It’s pretty remote out there, but there is an amazing place called the coffee shack a few miles away that has excellent lattes & an amazing menu. It’s very busy, but worth the wait. We rented a 4x4 jeep & went off roading & it was a magnificent experience. Made it out to the Green Beach which was absolutely worth the rough ride.
