This was the best hotel I ever stayed at. The breakfast was made to order with fresh fruit. The view of the ocean was beautiful. The room was large with thick towels and robes. The hot tub was big, clean and had a great view of the ocean.
The room was beautiful with a lovey view of the ocean and whales. The staff were delightful and food was far beyond our expectations. Thank you for such a great experience.
Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, small and that makes interaction with other guests guaranteed. We had a lovely time there, would definitely recommend!

I had an amazing experience at this hotel. The room was phenomenal— from the decor to the amenities to the view! The breakfast prepared by Chef Joseph every morning was delicious, and was the perfect beginning for every day. It was fresh and tasty. The Friday night dinner was also prepared with so much thought and intention, each plate was so yummy and presented beautifully. We also loved the hot tub, it was a nice way to end our evening after exploring Hawai’i. Next time in town I’ll be back!
Stunning views of the Pacific Ocean from this gorgeous property! The entire staff is friendly and welcoming! My husband and I had a wonderful and relaxing stay!
Absolutely delightful stay. The property is beautiful. The staff is very nice and super helpful. The happy hour and dinner were wonderful. Time spent at the pool and spa was peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely stay there again.
Awesome place. Chef and food are amazing. Rooms are huge and very comfortable. Pool is brand new. Property is well maintained. Amazing ocean views and convenient location. We will be back!
The property was a small beautiful waterfront hotel. The staff and owner was amazing, and always there to get you what you need. The property is very clean and in a great location!
Highly recommended!!!
The staff (Val) were excellent! The kitchen staff (chef, mixologist) and the 7-course meal were also amazing. The rooms, grounds and general locale was stunning. My only complaint is that the rooms are not adequately sound proofed. I could hear the TV from next door or the room above which affected my sleep.
Five stars is not enough for this place! It’s more of an experience than a hotel. I’ve never had a more relaxing and enjoyable stay anywhere. Val and her staff were amazing! I can’t wait to go back.
The location can not be beaten. The staff is five-star and friendly. We felt like this was our estate and were treated as such. The owner Eric was extremely inviting. condition of this place is 5-star. My wife and I will definitely be back.
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.
* It is so peaceful and quiet. The ocean can be heard, but is not overwhelming from loud crashing waves.
* The chef prepared evening meal is awesome (7-courses)!
* We are animal lovers, so we enjoyed the company of the resident dogs and cat.
* We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, red light sauna, and the cold bath.
* The breakfast was very good. We had special quiche (egg bites) prepared without dairy. Excellent!
We would definitely stay here again!!!!
Almost a 10/10
Difficultly with transportation without a car
Dinner at hotel when available was wonderful but otherwise need to be resourceful and comfortable to go with the flow (again without transpiration) as you cannot walk to anything, but also what makes it such a great place. Relaxed within minutes!!
Val is fantastic

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.
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 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!
