If you're looking for a beautiful, peaceful spot away from the throngs at the beach Aromatherapy Foundation is the place. My wife and I stayed in the Romantic Cottage and had a wonderful time. The views are spectacular, you can see at least half of the island, and the sunsets are unbelievable. And make sure to get a massage, we each had the best ever. We were a little concerned before we went that it seemed somewhat isolated, but while there we found it's location in the center of the island to be convenient to everything. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I spent a short honeymoon here in September. We wished we could have stayed longer-- the cottage is the perfect quiet getaway and unlike anything else we looked at on Maui. A few comments for those thinking of staying here: --Yes, it's not on the beach. And it is a bit of a drive. But it's a short drive, and absolutely worth it. --The grounds are beautiful. The pool and hot tub are a great place to relax. The cabin has unobstructed views of the West Maui mountains and sunset over the ocean... it's quiet enough that you feel like you're the only one there! --The cottage had a full kitchen as well as a gas grill on the lanai. You could easily cook a quiet dinner yourself. Or you can drive a few minutes to Makawao town for Polli's or Casanova's (or Komoda's donuts in the morning!). You're also less than 15 minutes from Paia (Milagros, the Fishmarket, Mama's...). --Reservations were simple. Communication was very easy, and we were able to check in earlier than we had planned. Our deposit was returned promptly. This is a great place to relax-- we're already trying to plan a return trip!

Heaven on Earth!

Review Submitted: 09/15/11
I remember reading a quote here on Maui, years ago when visiting Kipahulu, which said "If there is a heaven on Earth, it is here, it is here, it is here." That's how wonderful this place strikes me. I loved the expansive views of the island, the lush grounds, the sound of the wind in the trees and the variety of bird calls. Thank you Tom & Doreena for creating such a sanctuary for myself and others to enjoy. The wonderful spa services and essential oils were truly the cherry on top. The sadness I feel leaving after my 5 day stay is soothed by the knowledge that I'll be back to visit in the future! An honor meeting little Cujo too! Olinda No Ka Oi !
Owner response:Thank you Helen, we are so pleased you feel that way about our place, we think of it as Heaven on Earth too!

Thank you so much for having us up here at this amazing and wonderful place! If there is any place on this Earth that is most serene and peaceful, this is it. I am sad that we only got to stay 2 nights, but if I ever come to Hawaii again it will not be for "the road to Hana", but rather for the "Aromatherapy Foundation". It is the perfect place to be to savor the beautiful things in life. Hoping to see you again in the future.
Owner response:Thank you so much for the kind words, we are so glad you found us!

"This is our first stay "upcountry" and we have really enjoyed our week in the cottage with the beautiful views, birds, cows, etc. It has been a very nice change of pace from the beach scene. Our couples massage was incredible! We would love to return again during a different time of the year, but the cooler weather allowed us to enjoy the fireplace. Cujo is a sweetie and I enjoyed his company. This felt like home, so thank you for sharing it with us." Jan. 12th, 2011
Owner response:Thank you Larry, we hope to see you again, possibly during our "warmer" months.
