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

The house is very well equipped including a large kitchen with ample working space; 60” plus large screen TV; tons of fresh linens and towels; coolers, chairs and toys for the beach;... More

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

Our first trip to Maui, and we didn't want the typical Maui resort experience. Found this place on the web, and am so happy we stayed here. We completely enjoyed our 7 day stay in the octagon studio. It felt like a little nest in the trees. The main house and 1-bed cottage are bigger with more ammenities, but we... More

Thanks for taking the time to write a review, we really do appreciate it! The 8 minute drive to our place from the town of Makawao is easier to get to if you print and follow the directions we email you. The Octagon is such a unique and cozy place, however for people staying longer or just wanting additional space... More

My new husband and I spent our week-long honeymoon in Maui, 4 days upcountry and three days at a beach resort. Without question, the time spent in the upcountry at the studio on the grounds of The Aromatherapy Foundation of Maui were by far superior. It was absolute magic waking up in such a beautiful space, the surrounding windows open... More

We stayed here for the first 6 days of our honeymoon. It was a perfect way to start things off. Doreena was a wonderful host. The cottages are just spectacular, beyond words. And the view was stunning...we woke up every day in awe. We stayed in the romantic cottage and cannot do the place justice with words. It was clean,... More

We have stayed at the Aromatherapy Foundation twice. Last year, my husband and I stayed in the romantic cottage during our honeymoon. We loved it so much that we came back this year with my parents, brothers and our new baby! This place truly makes you feel that some places on earth are closer to heaven.

During our 2 week trip to Hawaii, we stayed in five different places. The Octagon Studio at the Aromatherapy Foundation was absolutely the best of all. I wish we had made plans to stay longer. The Studio is so private, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The view from the deck can't be beat. No rush to wake up and look for... More

Couldn't resist booking this place because of the rave reviews, which it deserves.You can really leave the hustle and bustle of the island behind. The cottage and the views are fantastic. Views seem to be best in the afternoon. The peninsula tended to cloud over at sunrise and sunset, at least when we were there. The scent of wild geranium... More
