Luxury Oceanfront Guest House in Gated Community

10/10 Excellent

"Joe & Cindy's Luxury Oceanfront Guest House in Pepeekeo was the perfect place for my girlfriend and I to stay during our visit to Big Island. It is beautifully and comfortably designed and had everything we needed. We cooked several meals here and everything necessary was supplied. You have to check out the water view from the cliff - it's outstanding and worthy of photos and a picnic. The extremely private cottage is a short drive from Hilo and the directions and check in/check out processes were so easy. Joe & Cindy made themselves available, yet they weren't overbearing like some hosts. We would definitely stay here again when we return!"

Hamakua Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Hamakua was amazing. It was everything you could want in a boutique hotel. The grounds are beautiful and immaculately kept. The every room has an incredible view of gardens overlooking the Pacific. The staff, Belle and Sabrina were the best, If you are there for one of Chef Joseph’s meals don’t miss it!"

Luxury Oceanfront B-n-B Suite Gated Cliffside Estate - Banyan - Beach 10m walk

8/10 Good

"The property itself is beautiful, and it’s obvious a tremendous amount of work has gone into creating and maintaining it. The grounds are immaculate, peaceful, and unique, the suite was spotless and comfortable, and the breakfasts each morning were excellent. It’s a truly special setting.The only reason we’re giving four stars instead of five is because the hosting experience didn’t feel as warm or welcoming as we had hoped. While the owners clearly take pride in what they’ve built, many of our interactions felt more transactional than hospitable. We left with the impression that opportunities to experience more of the property or interact with the animals and farm were generally reserved for paid experiences, rather than simply being part of staying there.Communication was also slower than expected at times, and a few interactions came across as dismissive or condescending, which kept us from feeling completely at ease as guests.Overall, the property itself is exceptional and we genuinely enjoyed our stay. If you’re looking for a beautiful, quiet place to relax, it’s an excellent choice. Just know that the accommodations far exceeded the hospitality we experienced from the hosts."

River View Rainforest Tiny Cabin with Kitchenette (No Cleaning Fee)

8/10 Good

"This tiny cabin is a great blend of roughing it with conveniences. The toilet and shower stall are full size and normal. The small fridge, cooktop and large sink made for a useful kitchenette space while being on the screened porch to keep heat out of the sleeping room. The bunkbed is a clever use of space, with a decent mattress and lots of pillows. The hosts were responsive to texts and located not too far away, just in case. Checking in and out was a breeze, and all instructions were very clear. The downside is just the natural environment of the rainforest. With no AC and minimal ability to move the air, the humidity is oppressive. The presence of the nearby waterfall is lovely but the tree frogs overwhelm the peacefulness and the mosquitoes are vicious. The building is suffering a bit from the constant moisture. It was also disconcerting to see a huge feral hog on the driveway, and witness the extensive digging they have done all around the property. I certainly came away feeling like it was a true break from civilization!"

Island Goode's - Luxury Adults Only Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place to stay for a couples getaway if you’re visiting The Big Island. Staff were always able to help whenever we needed them. Being greeted by Coconut Jake every morning was the perfect way to start the day. Greeting Miss Kitty in the evening after a long day of fun and adventure was a treat as well. Rooms provide all the things you’d need when on vacation: beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, hair dryer, bathroom supplies, etc. I could go on about all the great things about this place, but the ratings and reviews speak for themselves. Just book it!"
