Hamakua Holiday Rentals

"The room was very nice and spacious with a decent view of the ocean. I was very pleased on checkout day; we had a 10 PM flight, and the hotel not only let us use the facilities all day (pool, hot tub, etc.), but they gave us access to a hospitality room where we were able to take a shower at the time of our choosing. "

"This was the second time my wife and I have visited Hawaii. The last time was 20 years ago, before kids, when we went the Maui. This December we went to Waikoloa with our 14 and 16 year olds and it was a dream! The property is amazing, with a protected lagoon. They literally could swim with turtles, rays, and all kinds of fish. They also have a dolphin population right at the lagoon and you can watch them swim and play with their trainers all day long. It's pretty amazing. We stayed in a Makai garden room, which was clean and had wonderful views and easy access to the pool just outside. The onsite food options were a bit limited and were expensive, as we expected, but honestly not that bad compared to the mainland these days. You can also walk a bit less than a mile to some other options, which we did on a couple of occasions. If I can afford it, I will definitely come back to this place. And, I highly recommend it for families with older or younger kids."

"Very clean overall, front desk area rooms bathrooms. And very friendly staff "

"Rooms dated. But it was a good value. You get what you pay for. The pool was a blast. Plenty of lounge chairs and the staff was super friendly. The restaurant is horrible. Food is overpriced and tasteless. Don’t eat there! The service was horrible. For dinner, it took a full hour for us to get to our seat, and there was only a few people working there so everything was really slow. We ordered our food but they forgot my order and I was super starving. My daughter’s stew was just pieces of meat, and barely had any actual stew. The breakfast buffet was 8 items; rice, bacon, potatoes, eggs, pastries and some really old fruit. They charge $35/person for this. "

"So beautiful! Ocean view was amazing and the staff were so friendly and helpful. My husband is vegan and he had plenty of delicious options at the breakfast buffet. Decor was lovely and felt very classic Hawaiian. We absolutely loved staying here and would come back in a heartbeat! "

"Staff was friendly and accommodating and our room exceeded expectations. Breathtaking views of the ocean. Loved our stay!"

"Staff was great!!!"

"The laundry was definitely there but we didn't take advantage of it. The renovations taking place only inconvenienced slightly how long we had to walk to places, but it was otherwise not an inconvenience at all. Our room was renovated and the view was outstanding. The hotel bar was a treat and we were there almost every evening. All of the staff we encountered were fantastic. Would definitely stay there again. "

"Great staff, clean hotel. Awesome food, beaches and hospitality "
