Our belief here at the Aromatherapy Foundation of Maui is that there is tremendous potential provided by the aromatic plants that surround us in our environment to nourish us with good health and provide vitality and quality of life.

We stayed for a week at the Romantic Cottage and it was just that. The views were breathtaking and ever changing throughout the day and eve especially with the full moon in the mix. It was like watching a slow motion movie. The cottage had everything we could want and more. It was great to retreat back to the mountain after a day away, knowing that were had the peace and quietude that we wanted without the masses of the more frequented places on the island. Loved the garden and the aromas that were in the air and the use of the diffuser with the oils was quite lovely. We experimented every day with 1 or more oils and are using the hydra sol from the distillery demo we now have on a daily basis. Tom, Doreena and the rest of the staff were great. Loved our massages too. Thank you for creating this beautiful space for us to experience.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.

My husband and I stayed here for our 10 year wedding anniversary, we are from Alaska and did alot of research before booking, we were looking for the perfect paradise get-away. We were not disappointed in any way. The cottage was everything we hoped for and more! The views were stunning, at sunrise and sunset, and our favorite the stars and moon over the ocean- just breath-taking. We loved being out of the way, and everything down to the littlest detail was just lovely. We enjoyed our stay so very much and cannot wait to go back!!!! (Insider tip, book a couples massage- it was like a slice of cheesecake in heaven)-Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We've just arrived back at home and are still remembering our great time in the hills from Makawao. We can highly recommend the Aromatherapy Foundation. We stayed six days there and had a wonderful time. The Romantic Cottage is spacious and luxury. We felt like we would live in our own villa. Everything you could need is there: Pool, hot tube, grill. kitchen with full equipment, a giant comfortable double bed and a gorgeous view. The furniture is very elegant. We also can recommend the treatments at the Spa. They do a great job and really take care of you. And Doreena and Tom are such great hosts. They gave us many recommendations and always helped us if we needed something.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

"In preparation for our Maui wedding we did much online research looking for the perfect "off the beaten path" spot. We could not have been more pleased with the Aromatherapy property. Tom and Doreena were the consummate hosts in allowing us to hold the small ceremony on the grounds. The Romantic Cottage lived up to it's name and the view from up here is nothing short of spectatular. We will cherish the memories and remember the view always. Thanks Tom, Doreena and Cujo" April 2012Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

Everything is so lovely, so beautifully crafted from all of the amazing wood to the thoughtful robes, Eco-friendly soaps and of course the views! I want to move in! There's a farm stand right next door where we bought excellent avocados. It's close enough to get to everything you want to do, but quietly away from the crowds. It would have been absolutely perfect, exceot that the water takes a very long time to get hot and that was hard for me, personally, as an environmentalist. Otherwise, perfect in every other way.

We simply loved the Romantic Cottage. We laid in bed and watched the sunset after napping from tiring days of sightseeing. The grounds are beautiful with a variety of gorgeous flowers and plants including protea. Tom was helpful in getting us settled into our cottage despite our flight coming in later than we had planned. We slept like babies every night - even with the windows wide open. The air is crisp and clean in the upcountry. The road getting up to the house is a little crazy - but it is only 2 miles from Makawao where the roads turn back to "normal." Watch for the axis deer and wild turkeys on your way up to the house! We also used the spa services on site. They were top notch and very rejuvinating! Cannot recommend highly enough. We plan to bring the whole family back and stay in the Grand Villa.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.

This place blew us away. My wife & I stayed here on our honeymoon, and this was by FAR our favorite spot while on Maui. While the other hotels we stayed at were nice (4/5 star), on a relative scale this place should be an 8/5 -- b/c it was easily twice as nice, twice as big, twice the view, twice the everything you could expect from a high quality hotel. It was extremely clean, well kept, and quiet. It feels modern yet unpretentious and very cozy. We really felt spoiled and wondered if we even deserved all of that awesomeness. It allowed us to really relax during our final days on the island, cook nice meals, swim, enjoy the hot-tub; and the views from upstairs are from another planet. If you enjoy a "mountain atmosphere" with warm weather - this is the spot. A short 15 min drive takes you to a small quaint town, and another 15 mins gets you to the beach. Yep, 30 mins from 'in the mountains' to 'on the beach'. The road to the property is quite the adventure - very windy, but I thought it was fun. It doesn't border any steep cliffs but for those uncomfortable with "snakey" roads might not want to make the drive after dark - b/c there are no street lights.. which only adds to the charm. It's also not far from the Hana highway, so if that's in your plans that's another great reason to stay here. It's also fairly close to Haleakala Park, which has AMAZING sunrises above the clouds. The staff, Tom & Doreena are awesome. Cujo the anti-guard dog adds a perfect touch to the staff, and despite his small but mighty bark he warms up to people fast. There are also spa facilities on site, which was a great way for us to finish off our adventurous honeymoon. This is one of those "buried treasure" spots you will tell friends about forever. Take full advantage & thank these guys for creating such an amazing & affordable paradise. PS - they even have LEMON, LIME & AVOCADO trees; you can even pick the fruit to make your own guacamole - doesn't get fresher than that!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: We loved hearing how much you enjoyed your time here! We feel like we've created something special here and it always warms our hearts to know our guests feel that way too...we look forward to seeing you both again soon! P.s. Please let us know when you'll be coming back and we'll be sure to pick some avocados for you ahead of time :-)
