One of the most beautiful places you will find in the world. Absolute, peaceful, serene and nurturing. It’s wet I imagine the garden of Eden would be like. I have been here nine times. Never disappointed. I have gone alone feeling safe and taken care of, I have brought family because they need to experience the special place, and I have a couple.

I can not say enough about the facilities beauty, the yoga instructor Daniel Richardson was exceptional, everyone addressed us by our names, them most gorgeous and service oriented place we've ever stayed and that includes St. Bart which I thought was top notch. This exceeded all our expectations. We'll be going back every 4 months for R&R and we live in Oahu which has nothing like the Sensei.

ok..come on. this magical destination will blow your mind. it's physically gorgeous, landscaped with exotic bromeliads, palms, ferns and a couple of banyan trees that appear to be right out of an Avatar movie. This is our second, albeit certainly not our last, visit in a couple of years. We happened to stay in our favorite room, in front of the mother tree, where the raucous myna birds thrive in the morning and at dusk. There are activities galore, a well equipped gym, great five mile hike to the top of the ridge behind the hotel, beautiful hales where staff cosset you with massages, and an entire staff that will impress you with their smiles and seemingly telepathic ability to recall your name. The food is fresh and appetizing (great fries), the dining "hall" is beautifully lit, and the bar staff (shout out to Ada and Helen) will engage you as they scare up any concoction you desire. Every detail, finish, color, and texture is seemingly out of my aesthetic playbook, in whites and creams. World class art is everywhere on property and its a great place to hit "pause", especially if you take advantage of the shuttle to town and down to the beach (where you can also indulge in the services at the Four Seasons there). We loved meeting the birds beach side, where Bruno, the bird man, has been lovingly caring for them for years. We didn't try horseback riding or a jeep rental or the challenge course, but maybe next time. Go.

The SUPERB retreat hotel you could ever visit. Amazing. I can’t describe how amazing and relaxing was my stay at this hotel. I will definitely visit it again. From the way you get to the island, the way they received me, the room, food, THE ONSENS, the yoga, sun bathing… EVRYTHING!!!!!!!

The grounds and spa areas were stunningly beautiful! However, my spa services were just ok. I had 3 massages while we stayed there and only one was great. One was probably the worst massage I have ever had so you can imagine how disappointed I was considering it was the most expensive massage I’ve ever had. And if you want a ride to the beach, it cost $200 there and another $200 to get back! The air conditioning never worked in our room so sleeping was difficult. The food at Nobu was incredibly delicious! Overall, it was a neat place to see, but I’d never want to come back.
