The woman at the counter, whose name I didn't get but who had pink and white striped hair, refused to serve my boyfriend even though the website said the cafe was open, the door sign said the cafe was open, and people were in the cafe itself eating and drinking coffee at a few of the tables. She said the cafe was closed because she was too busy, even though there were only a few people around. When I asked if it was possible to get coffee, she said alright but we should order the drip coffee because she wasn't very good at making anything else. While we sat and drank our coffees, a group of about six women came up and she let them order food and coffee for the group. A man was next in line and she told him the same thing she told my boyfriend: that she was busy and the cafe was closed. This pattern continued. She served women in groups of any size, but men who asked were told that the cafe was closed. This is unacceptable and I will not be returning, however nice the setting.

My sister and I reserved a Deluxe Suite in hopes of catching the final night of an observable Milky…read moreWay. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and we ended up with rain. Normally, I would have been completely disappointed, but the suite at The Bungalows was enough to make up for the loss. Everything was set up for comfort and convenience. The sofa was even comfortable enough that i chose to sleep on it instead of sharing the King bed with sister. Everything was precisely thought out, from kitchenware to bathrobes! Their custom app streamlined the check-in/check-out process and the property manager was only a text message away. The facility is minutes from "civilization" with restaurants, shopping, gas stations, etc. The only issue we had was the noisy air conditioning unit in the bedroom. It made a godawful noise every time it kicked on. This was brought up in previous reviews so hopefully it will be addressed before our next stay. I am so looking forward to staying here again. We plan on extending our group and reserving multiple rooms on our next visit.

The bungalow itself was thoughtfully designed -- clean, modern, and very comfortable. Loved the natural light, cozy seating area, and the overall desert-modern aesthetic. The bathroom was well done and felt spa-like, and everything was laid out in a way that made the space feel calm and uncluttered. The property was quiet and relaxing, especially in the evenings, and check-in was smooth and easy. Great spot to unwind after a long day of hiking or exploring the area.

Unfortunately it has become commercialized, monetized into retreats in Baja and India for the wealthy = 1 star.

Everything in the sanctuary and workshop hall was beyond capacity. Only way to get in is to come early morning to the sanctuary and STAY There all day.
