Kirpal is everything that other reviewers have described. Is it for you? Maybe. Maybe not. When we arrived, we were greeted by Padma and Lulu (Lovely yoga-vegan ladies), who checked us in. The Yoga Hale 1 is a small sparely furnished private screened-in room with a deck. It is part of the yoga structure where a class was being held. You can use curtains for side "windows", but no one is there to peer in. The big glass door opening to the view of the ocean and forest doesn't need a curtain. No one but wild birds, frogs, and maybe a wild piggie or two are out there. Some creatures do manage to get into the room, including geckos, and I did see fleeting glimpses of some other unidentified creeping things that inhabit the rain forest just outside the door. They were not an issue, but you have to be prepared to not get freaked out about them. The bathrooms are open to the forest on one side. You can sit there and contemplate nature, or shower (brrriefly) in the unheated 85°F water. (I may be wrong about that, but it did not get hot for us.) And there was a posting exhorting the bather to conserve, lest he feel guilty about using too much. A shared kitchen was available, and meals were available at extra cost. One of the residents was preparing a delicious smelling curry when I checked it out. If you bring food, you have to label your stuff, and not eat what's not yours. It is a completely vegerarian operation. My Google review has more.
