We loved our stay at Dragonfly Ranch. The location is out of the way but perfect for seeing the beauty and splendor that is Hawaii. The people are kind and interesting. It's not for everyone. You are quite immersed in nature. There will be geckos in your room and the birds and insects are right outside. It's almost like camping with a comfy bed.

This isn't really a hotel, it's some sort of hippy commune. So, as long as you coming looking for inner nirvana, you're ok...but, the first thing I saw was the dead cockroach, followed by the lizard and the frog...but that's not what bothered me, the issue is they say you have a private bathroom - which is partially true, however, it's outside, not in your room. So after I fought the frogs off, I could use the facilities...also, it's some sort of artist gathering and they were yelling at each other and playing guitars well into the night, so the whole place is just like a dirty old campfire with bad boyscouts and girlscouts...not a hotel, don't go looking for a hotel. The gym facility is more like you running around killing bugs (since the rooms don't have doors, they get in...). Book at your own risk.

Barbra and the rest of the staff are very friendly. They gave great suggestions of things to do and places to eat while on the island. The room was clean and beautiful. If you like being surrounded by nature, this is a great spot.

Definitely my best experience I’ve had staying at this lovely place. The staff were so kind and helpful with any of our needs. We were supplied with all of our necessities and made us feel like family. Sam was exceptional and made sure our stay was nothing short of amazing. I would definitely would come here again.

This place is for the adventurer at heart. If you can’t handle cabin like conditions…interfacing with the wild & the noise displayed by the night critters & beautiful birds singing their hearts away early morning, this is not for you! We even had a gecko that would pop in to have breakfast with us…he loved jelly! The host & staff are very friendly & put out an organic spread for breakfast to start your day. It’s pretty remote out there, but there is an amazing place called the coffee shack a few miles away that has excellent lattes & an amazing menu. It’s very busy, but worth the wait. We rented a 4x4 jeep & went off roading & it was a magnificent experience. Made it out to the Green Beach which was absolutely worth the rough ride.

Smoke alarms non-functional. Otherwise it was out of the ordinary experience, but we enjoyed the difference. Staff was very accommodating and helpful. Recommended for those who like experiences different from the ordinary. Also best for people who like nature and animals.
