Great stay. I will definitely be back. I loved the architecture and the setting. The Mentalphysics backstory added an interesting vibe. The only issue I have to report is that I could only get one of the burners on the stove to light. This was in Bungalow K. When lit, the flame was small and it took a long time for the water to boil. But everything else was excellent.

The bungalow we rented was immaculate. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the area surrounding the bungalow is beautifully landscaped. The area is quiet and peaceful. There were dozens of hummingbirds and birds every morning enjoying the flowers!

Our room/suite was very nice. It was clean and stocked well. The granola treat from a local baker was a nice treat. We liked the outside seating areas by our room. Great for relaxing and stargazing. The French press coffee maker worked well but we prefer a regular coffee maker. The French press is a lot to clean in between uses. A recycle waste container would be nice too. Most hotels have these now. The pool area and building by it was outdated and kind of creepy. There should be umbrellas at the pool. The pool is not close to the Bungalows. It is on the same property but quite a walk through the sandy paths. This is an interesting property and overall it is pretty nice.
Sunset view from our room.

Our bungalowe was lovely, clean, quite modern, well equipped, quiet. We shared the propety with a yoga retreat center.The tricky part is all is handled digitally with no one consistently on site so all information is by text. It takes a bit of working through depending on your digital agility.

Beautiful restored buildings that offer a super well appointed and comfortable stay. Everything in the room is beautiful. The bed is super comfortable. Our room had a kitchen and gorgeous sitting areas inside and out. Lots of ample space and with the far right outside, and our dog in tow, we just loved it at the bungalows. Will be back!

So relaxing. So comfortable. So healthy. So hip!

Most comfortable bed I have ever slept on—even more comfortable than my quite nice home mattress. Great night’s of sleep. Very quiet. Very peaceful. Close to the National Park entrance. I feel amazingly refreshed. And it was a very cool aesthetic to the bungalow as well. Hip but also equally as comfortable. And the staff is very responsive on text. A+++++
