Gorgeous surroundings and view, gorgeous room, gorgeous seven course dinner that was included. Watched whales spouting from our private balcony and also from the infinity pool. Valerie was an amazing host. We loved everything and we want to come back.

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.

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!

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.

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

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’ve been to many hotels around the world for many reasons. I was blown away at this place I found purely out of luck. The owner, the manager, the amazing staff from activities to breakfasts to special dinner.
I have only one regret. That I didn’t spend my entire stay on big island here.
But next time I will.
Thank you!

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!
