Small boutique hotel, only about 8 (nice) rooms. Ocean sunrise views. Nice dinner included 3 nights per week. Infinity pool. Accommodating staff. About 15 minutes from Hilo but otherwise nothing much in the immediate area. No swimming beach but you can walk down to the coast to watch the waves. Very quiet, but we were the only guests the week we visited.

Lovely property with amazing view. Rooms are elegant and comfortable. Onsite manager was very accommodating with excellent attention to detail. Things feel apart for me with the evening events. Chefs didn't track allergy notifications for me or other guests at the time, and I felt like the owners only invested time in individuals that they could relate to. For the rate, they need to be more equally inclusive.

We wanted to split up our Big Island stay between the Hilo side and the Kona side. Could not find a better place for Hilo side. Hotel is new, clean and comfortable. Staff is EXCELLENT. Property is small and we got to know staff, owners and guests on a personal basis. Very “homey” feel. Hated to leave but off to Kona!

Beautiful view and property with a nice walk to the rock beach. Room is very nice. Water didn't work for one of the evenings which was unfortunate as the shower and bath were part of why we selected this location. Staff was as quick to fix it as they could... unfortunately running out of water is not an easy fix. I appreciate them responding quickly but not having running water for part of the stay knocks it down a bit.

Val was the GM there when we stayed and she did a great job with everything. She gave us local recommendations for things to do. The room had a beautiful view of the water. There is a little trail to walk to this secluded beach with breathtaking sunrises. They catered a very nice 7 course meal one night for the guest and it was delightful. It all felt like an upscale bed and breakfast. Great secluded getaway.

Wow wow wow!!! The description doesn't do it justice, Nothing less than laying your own eyes on it will do! This place is a locals staycation dream and for me and my partner (first time big Island visitors) it was PARADISE! The wonderful people who run the property do an amazing job of making it an experience to remember. We Enjoyed endless fun on their private trail munched on countless fruits some we've never tried and were cut up and served special for us ❤️❤️❤️❤️. There's so much wildlife to boot and On our very last morning walking back up the trail we got to see DOLPHINS! This place is nothing short of spectacular. Full disclaimer if you don't like the sounds of the jungle don't visit the jungle. Cannot wait to come back they definitely deserve TEN BIG BIG Stars ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had the best time at Hamakua hotel. First, the manager was very accomodating and generous. The room was beautiful, big, clean, with big windows - so relaxing. And we had the chance to attend the surprise dinner on tuesday night. It was unbelievable. Truly, one of the best dinners in my life. We were amazed and so grateful. The Hamakua hotel is a pricey place to stay, but for the experience that we had, it was all worth it. Beyond expectations. We truly recommend it!

I was blown away by this property! Everything about it made us feel exclusive. We were greeted by Valerie and she escorted us to our room and gave us an overview of the grounds. You are in the middle of paradise, overlooking the ocean. There was a very nice breakfast every morning and we had the most amazing 6 course diner cooked by a private chef!! I had my first beef wellington and baked Alaska and it was to die for. We were about 15 minutes away from Hilo and about 5 minutes away from a cute eating/ shopping strip (btw.... try The Hive & Birria Boss.. you won't be disappointed). Akaka Falls and the Botanical Garden are also about 10 minutes away. This hotel and the special homey/ local feeling of Hilo has us wanting to make this an annual trip! Thank you Valerie for making our stay unforgettable!
