I can go on forever. To start, our first call was to confirm our stay and give us a “run down” of what to expect right after we booked our visit. I was given the tip to book the omakase experience early (glad I did). There were also subsequent email interactions that felt concierge. We booked approximately 1.5 months in advance (booked in January for an end of February stay). On the day of our arrival, Danielle called to confirm what time we were arriving. She was so kind and helpful at check in (9pm) and helped us plan a glorious itinerary for the next day. The staff in general were so helpful: Savannah and her sister (sorry I can’t remember her name!) you were all so wonderful. The omakase is wonderful both for the food and ambiance. I also really like the lodge where you can hang out and play games by the fire. Breakfast is limited but good. The gift shop is weirdly amazing, and I spent so much money there, which is so unlike me. The room is absolutely comfortable enough and at least having a sink, even if there’s no toilet, makes a big difference. I knew what I was getting myself into, but I’m a high maintenance gal and nevertheless pleasantly surprised. They keep the bathrooms very clean. The whole ambiance is not done justice in the photos. The only negative is the humming of the (generator?) that can be pretty pervasive, it’s not a “full silence” retreat. Can’t wait to come here again.

I came here for a trip with my siblings and we all can’t wait to come back. This place really feels like paradise on earth. Especially with how high up in the clouds you are. The yurts are comfortable, clean, and warm. The entire staff was incredibly kind and responsive. All the facilities were clean, daily breakfast was delicious, and so were the lunches. Highly recommend eating on site because the chef was amazing. Also, yoga each morning was lovely. The teacher was really patient and educational.

High end yurt experience. I’m finishing dinner as I write this and it could not taste better!
Quick observation
If you’ve never stayed in a yurt be aware there is no bathroom in your yurt. You must walk a short way to the rest room or the shower which I don’t mind. My yurt has wood deck overlooking the Atlantic. So quiet. I think three days should do the trick.
The staff is top notch. Friendly and help full.

the food was a let down ... some thoughts on the dinner was mixed — the wagyu steak dinner was chewy and we ended up leaving it; potato scoop (super small) was bland; the mushroom was rubbery like cutting rubber
the next night we had the pizza which we figured would be hard to mess up, it was good but not worth $95 each (that included salad and appetirzed but still)
dinner — oysters were outstanding but dinner salads lacked punch
cabbage salad was burned black and salsa needed more heat and depth
the lunch was much better— cod fish sandwich was very good
however, the mushroom burger was fried little mushrooms which my wife threw out (I gave her half my cod sandwich)
breakfast was the same the 3 mornings we were there and kind of monotonous after day 1 (frittata and pork sausage) ... scrambled eggs and bacon would have been an easy swap for day 2 or day 3 ... but nope, frittata and pork sausage all 3 mornings we were there (frittata was not easy to get fork through, maybe frozen?)
overall the food was the let down and expensive (dinner was $95 person) ... but you're kind of stuck eating here since it's remote ... the location itself was relaxing ...
and there are tons of flies here, everywhere ... we had 4 or 5 in our accommodation and several in the restaurant ... they tell you when you get here about the flies with a little placard in your room or site...

We stayed two nights and had a great time.
The sushi dinner was phenomenal.
Our yurt had an ocean view and the weather was perfect. All of the staff was friendly and accommodating.
This is not a standard, fancy hotel. The bathrooms/showers are shared. There isn't wifi everywhere. There's no cell service either. Isn't that the point?
Bring some clothes/gear to hike or go to the beach. No need to dress up for dinners, but you can if you want because both the sushi restaurant and the main dining area are nice.
We'll go back for sure.
The negative reviews are silly. It's like complaining that you went to the desert in August and didn't know it would be hot.
