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.

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.

I stayed in the Jungle Penthouse for one night at the Dragonfly Ranch, and it was an unforgettable experience. Finding the ranch was easy, thanks to the clear directions. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, they also recommended various things to do and nearby restaurants, which enhanced my stay. The room itself was cozy and charming, equipped with A/C, fans, hot water, a comfortable bed, a sofa, and a mezzanine (though I didn't try the bed there). The kitchenette was a nice touch, as were the toilet and sink. The shower, separated from the room, added a unique touch to the experience. This isn't your standard hotel room, but that's what makes it special. It's a great place to connect with nature. The night sky was amazing, and the sounds of little frogs added to the ambiance. Breakfast was another highlight, with organic local fruits, great coffee, bread, eggs, and more, making it a perfect addition to staying at this place.

Really read the reviews and look closely at the pictures. This is an old property that has had plywood rooms added over the years. If you like a commune hippy feel, this will be fine. If you're expecting more than cobbled together, tiny rooms, you'll be disappointed. Thew views from the deck were nice, but overall for the prices charged, it was extremely underwhelming.

Wonderful spot

I loved how authentic this country location is. That said, if you are a person that cannot survive w o AC or TV it may not be for you. For myself, I loved the chance to get away from all the (noise) of the outside world and truly experience the lovely grounds of this fabulous location. Rooms are screened in so all the wondeeful sights and sounds of nature may be experienced. There are fans if you need and our room had a lovely outdoor shower. It also had a table where you could take in the sunset and ocean views. Perfect for people that appreciate nature and its beauty. Staff was very nice and friendly. Amazing coffee and fresh fruit each morning.

This was an amazing tropical paradise! Tropical open air rooms with fabulous decor and healing mediative areas to enjoy the tranquility in Captain Cook. Less than 2 miles from the popular snorkeling spot "Two Step" and the historical monument known as "Place of Refuge". The breakfast was excellent with multiple fruits, breads, oatmeal, nut butters, chia and yogurt, and huge selection of local jams. Staff was helpful - especially Ausin who showed us the fruit trees all over the grounds including the labyrinth and yoga area. we will definitely be staying again; we stayed in the writers Studio- truly offered all the comforts of home.

I can't say enough good things about Dragonfly. We only stayed a night unfortunately but planning to come back already (checked out a few hours ago). The owner is super friendly and interesting. We felt welcomed from the second we set foot in the property. The vibe is new age but it's very low key. You can absorb the vibe or ignore it. Breakfast included an interesting assortment of fruit, coffee, tea, toast and yogurt with chia seeds. Everything organic. The Dolphin Room had everything we needed. Giant comfortable bed. Outdoor bathroom but screened and private. It's not the Hilton (thankfully) and not for everyone but if it's what you're looking for then it's perfect. Sounds of nature abound. Peaceful energy that nurtures the soul. And again I have to emphasize if the new age vibe doesn't appeal then you can easily ignore it. Please don't let that put you off. Come and enjoy.

We loved our 2 nights in the writers studio & stay at Dragonfly Ranch. Barbara has created such a healing and welcoming atmosphere in this open air, climbing communal treehouse wonderland. Friendly & laid back staff, great communal kitchen & deck with ocean views. The Illuminarium…just lovely. It’s jungle living at its best & I’m certain we’ll return.

Property was in a quiet, rural area in a beautiful jungle like setting. Host conveyed a relaxed atmosphere within a rustic bed and breakfast environment. Worried lack of air conditioning would be a problem, but the cool ocean air combined with chirping of insects and birds had me asleep withing minutes each night.
