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

I would have never found this property had it not been for TA. Thank you TA! We stayed 3 nights in the Romantic Cottage. 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

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
