"Unfortunately the infinity pool and the manta viewing decks were closed for construction, but I can only imagine once those are complete this would be one of the nicest resorts on the island. Service was too notch and the grounds were immaculate. The waterslide and family pool were also amazing. The rock/sand in the pool is a nice touch"
"Excellent experience save for the ginormous cane/huntsman spider found in our bedroom that has crawled in through a large hole in the ceiling. Staff were very prompt in spraying the area as well as filling the hole the next day. We chose to sleep in the living room the rest of our stay since the spider had disappeared before we were able to get rid of it and we're not sure if it went back up through the home or was hiding in the bedroom but the pullout couch luckily wasn't too bad to sleep on, just wish we could've slept more comfortably and been less scared as both my husband and I are scared of spiders let alone ones as huge as a 2+ fist-size spider."
"Parking was easy, but my room was a bit dirty upon arrival with spider webs and literal dust on things. There was a dehumidifier but it was empty and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. They were supposed to come pick up my registration so I thought they'd fix the humidifier then (80% humidity in the room) but no one ever came. The free amenities they have in the guest supply is just one very bad shampoo and a little bar soap (which was okay). The kitchen is very minimal and has nothing to label your items with.
I never came across another guest in the property, but I know they were there because doors would open/closer.
Very great location, but there are many many options in this town where you may get better amenities with an actual host that would prepare and care for your room"
"Location are awesome😀😊 and is very quiet place perfect for relaxation 😊front desk staff was friendly 😃 Thank you we will staycations again in future!"
"Our stay at Gingerhill Farm Retreat was a unique and grounding experience. We stayed in the Bamboo cabin with an outdoor kitchen, shower, and sink, all supplied with propane and warm water, along with a clean compost toilet. The space was designed as an open lanai, allowing for natural cross-ventilation. We never needed the fan.
The cabin was surrounded by lush vegetation, with the sounds of the jungle creating a vivid atmosphere at night and in the early morning. The common areas include a terrace overlooking the ocean beyond the tree line, offering beautiful sunset views.
The staff was attentive and supportive throughout our stay. We also had the honor of meeting the owner, Ms. Mayumi Oda, often referred to as the “Matisse of Japan,” whose vision promotes healthy living and environmental awareness.
This experience offered a rare balance between natural living and everyday comfort. It felt less like a stay and more like an immersion into a different way of being."
