    The place is gorgeous. The grounds are amazing, and the rooms are elegantly done. This is a really beautiful place, very well-appointed. Incredibly peaceful and elegant.

    Nope.

    The staff member John was very helpful. He introduced the property and some nice restaurants in Paia to us. When I needed some ice to treat my injury because I accidentally hit the trunk lid, he helped us right away. We really appreciate his kind assistance. The breakfast was also pretty good!

    Not a thing.

    I literally loved every single thing about Lumeria. The salt water pool, the grounds, the breakfasts, the quiet. It was perfect. And it was also a good location with proximity to Haleakala entrance. It was nice to see upcountry Maui, which might actually be my favorite part.

    My only criticism was the AC in my room didn’t get super cool which was fine overnight but then died during our busy getting ready for the wedding in the morning. Luckily a friend booked a room a few doors down so we had a nice cold room to finish up in!

    All staff members I dealt with either on the phone or in person were amazing and helpful. Special shout-out to Shane from the restaurant for going above and beyond to make sure my friends and I were well fed delicious food before my wedding!

    All was perfect. Unfortunately we had a fire alarm in the evening, following which the electricity was cut off until the next morning. The staff did their best to accommodate guests despite the circumstances.

    Historical property set in beautiful landscaped gardens, very peaceful, great staff & food.

    We wish there were more food and snack options available on the resort. The dinner was very average for the price (cost us $184) for two which felt a little high for the quality of the food. Food was good but not great and wasn’t worth the expense.

    It is nice that breakfast was provided daily, but a little more of a rotation in the menu would have been nice. We were pretty much served the same food for a week.

    I read reviews on booking before deciding to stay here, and then made the mistake of looking at google reviews before I actually arrived. Needless to say, they were wrong. This place is FANTASTIC! No, there is no AC, no television. That’s the point of the place. There are a variety of classes everyday. No, they are not all advanced yoga for champs. Again, that’s something you can do with the place though, can have your own advanced yoga retreat. Yes, the staff IS wonderful! They all offer suggestions on things to do and see. They are all kind. They are all chill. Yes, the place is clean. But there are plants and animals abound, feral chickens and cats, snails, lizards. And the wind blows. Sometimes there are leaves blowing about. Often times there are rainbows. The views are magical. You can see both sides of the island from the hill where the retreat sits. There is always a soft rustle in the abundant trees on the property. There is plenty of shade to avoid being overheated. (Caveat, I visited in November, so I can’t speak to summer months.) I found the place quiet, peaceful, restorative. Exactly as advertised. Highly recommend massage with Tanmayo. She is incredible! The pool and hot tub are wonderful. Great location - love the wall of shrubbery making the space very private. I will return, as often as i can!

    - Rooms are not cleaned every day. It is only cleaned every 3 days upon request if you stay long enough. - It doesn't have A/C. Given the height of the place, it is mostly fine. You have a roof fan instead.

    - Place is peaceful - Pool and jacuzzi - Yoga and related classes - Wooden Crate (restaurant). It has a delicious pre-fixed menu that changes daily. They adapted beautifully to vegan/vegetarian restrictions. - Decoration

    Maybe having more lighting to our rooms. Used cell phone light enriched helped tremendously especially after a long day on the road and being a tourist by visiting all three dights there were to see & enjoy.

    Unfortunately, a couple of the yoga classes were canceled because the instructors fell ill with no replacements.

    The breakfasts were good, and the dining experience at the restaurant (Thursday-Saturday) was fabulous! I enjoyed the yoga class that I participated in, the grounds and accommodations were beautiful and entire environment was peaceful and calming. The staff members were all lovely and very helpful.

    Breakfast was a wee underwhelming. Pretty noisy at times.

    Staff, especially John was incredibly helpful and friendly. Breakfast was mediocre, room was large, but the walls are pretty thin, so garbage trucks and leaf blowers woke us in the early am.
