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.

Dragonfly ranch is a great place to stay if you love the sound of nature and being in a hippie style environment ie yoga, healthy breakfast, sound of animals constantly and outdoor showers/toilets with frogs in them. That being said if you dont this is not the property for you , the constant sound of frogs and birds all night followed by roosters and dogs at 4am drove me nuts. Not sure why its labeled as a three star "hotel"'. Research before you book its definitely not for everyone.

I think the very mixed reviews give a good sense of the place. The natural setting with the sunset views is very special. But, it is one step above tree house camping, and it isn’t glamping because it definitely isn’t glamorous. There are junked vehicles and a ton of clutter all over the property. Nothing feels super clean. Our room was cool but it is only screened in. As noted most showers are outdoors. Many of the folks working there are “interns” getting a free bed but not being paid, but there is a $50 cash turnover fee (which Expedia does show in the fine print). I thought the stay was a cool experience but that the cost was high given how very rustic it is. If you are comfortable staying with eccentric relatives and going with the flow this is an alternative to a boring motel.

This B&B has you living in the jungle among the tree tops. The birds singing during the day and the coqui frogs singing at night made for a truly authentic Hawaiian experience. All staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was always healthy and satisfying. Our room was comfortable and airy. The price was excellent but I strongly recommend booking directly through Dragonfly Ranch's owner. We hope to return soon.
