Hana Forest Reserve, Hana hotel rooms at the Independent

"Gorgeous, peaceful bungalow with an ocean view. This is a great way to get away from it all and experience the road to Hana and beyond. We stayed two nights and really enjoyed it. Food options for dinner were several food trucks or a restaurant across the street that we passed on. We tried the Mexican food truck and nearby Huli Huli chicken. That and some provisions we picked up along the way filled us up after hiking and exploring. We would have tried room service but it was not app based and involved calling the restaurant across the street and maybe going to pick up. Instead, we just enjoyed the accommodations and ate banana bread for dessert. The staff were lovely and accommodating. The restaurant for breakfast was pretty good but not amazing. The property, tranquil ocean views and sounds, large bungalow and adjacent adventure are worth staying here to be off the grid in a semi luxurious environment surrounded by nature."

"Clean room, kichen, friendl host Moe. "

"The end unit was wonderful for a larger lanai and crosswinds. Almost called to see if we could extend our stay!"

"Extremely hospitable and helpful folks :) The bathrooms were sufficiently numerous that my wife and I could use 2 different showers whenever we wanted to"

"Perfect stay for my husband and I on our anniversary. Private, sensual, absolutely perfect"

"Could not be happier. The staff were professional and accommodating. Excellent yoga sessions and lovely, relaxing massage services. The grounds and pool are absolutely stunning. Nice relaxing vacation. The breakfast is top notch. Highly recommend Lumeria. "

"The property was beautiful! Every room is spacious with a beautiful lanai overlooking sprawling green lawns "

"I recently stayed at Bamboo Valley Inn, and while I had high hopes based on its charming description, my experience fell short in several areas. First, I was disappointed to find that the claim of “breakfast included” was misleading. Upon arrival, I learned that no breakfast was provided, which was a significant letdown, especially since I had planned my mornings around enjoying a meal at the inn. This lack of transparency regarding amenities needs to be addressed. Additionally, I encountered a tray in living room meant for snacks, but it was filled with expired items, including bars and half-and-half milk, raising concerns about food safety and indicating a lack of attention to detail. Expired on 2023? February 2024? Another inconvenience was the absence of phone connectivity on the property; only Wi-Fi was available. While some guests may prefer to disconnect, it was frustrating to be unable to make calls or access cellular data when needed, which could be problematic for navigation or emergencies. While the setting of Bamboo Valley Inn is beautiful and the ambiance lovely, these issues significantly detracted from my overall experience. I believe that with better communication regarding amenities and improved attention to food safety and connectivity, this inn could truly shine. For now, I advise potential guests to be aware of these shortcomings before booking their stay."
