Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a dance retreat at Kalani, a beautiful and mindfully managed retreat center on the big Island of Hawaii. Staying at Kalani for a week was a wonderful experience. Both your body and your soul are very well cared for at Kalani ,Everything about the place from the simple but spacious and very clean... more

I just returned from a week's stay at Kalani. I went as part of a group dance retreat. Despite the name, this is not what I would call a "resort". It is more a sophisticated camp for adults. I met several scientists, marine biologists and an oceanographer vacationing there, as well as teachers, business people and a Chicago policewoman of... more

Coming to a "gay resort" -- I was expecting a sterotypical gay resort. But this place was anything but that. It's a gay-owned retreat and is EXTREMELY friendly to everyone! Gay or straight or man or woman! Everyone is treated well. The food is fantastic suitable for vegetarians and meat-eaters. All of the meals are filling and exception when it... more

Excellent facility. Food was healthy and tasty! Staff was wonderful-very friendly and helpful. Relaxing location and the classes were enjoyable. Loved talking with people from around the world. Came back to the mainland relaxed thanks to my stay at Kalani. Would go back in a second. more
