“Perfect start”

Reviewed 9 April 2013

WE have been to the state of Hawaii many times and to Maui over a dozen. We have always stayed at condo or homes on the beach. Staying up country has always been something I wanted to try and this trip it was possible. And the Grand Villa is absolutely outstanding! Yes a little cooler, but in our opinion (3... More

“Sensual Serenity”

Reviewed 9 December 2012

My husband and I just returned from our all too short visit to the Grand Villa at the Aromatherapy Foundation. Staying there was a treat for all of the senses! We arrived at almost midnight, and the drive was a bit of an adventure. The directions the staff gave us ahead of time were spot on, and we made no... More

“Honeymoon stay at the Octagon Studio”

Reviewed 10 June 2012

The Octagon was the most magical place for us to begin our honeymoon. We tend to like small, intimate and unique places, and this fit the bill perfectly. From the moment we arrived, we felt calm and soothed by the cool breeze, warm sun, and pleasant smell of rose and lemon geraniums. Tom and Doreena were the most helpful hosts... More

“A great week at the Aromatherapy Foundation”

Reviewed 15 April 2012

My wife and I spent a week in beautiful Upcountry Maui at the Aromatherapy institute. Our first night was in the Octagon Room. Very cozy, located on the property set back from the other buildings, very private, with a magnificent view of the valley 3000 ft below. A deck for stargazing, amazing! We then moved into the Cottage which is... More

It was so wonderful to get away from the hustle and bustle of the beach and retreat to near seclusion. And total quiet!! The king bed is a temperpedic matress. We could have slept all day.... More

I had just returned from Iraq and wanted to take the wife away to an island, but I really didn't want the hassle of a noisy resort with people all over the place. I found the Aromatherapy Foundation accomodations and I will say this was such a wonderful pleasure. We stayed in the Grand Villa with its six rooms, huge... More

“Great spot, great views, great room”

Reviewed 23 February 2011

I went on my honeymoon. We loved it and (after three days) didn't want to leave. We had some trouble finding the foundation, but once we got there, it was remarkable. The panoramic views dazzled us, the room vastly exceeded my expectations, and the grounds were very nice. We slept great, and it was a terrific change of pace from... More
