Reviews of Hamakua Hotel describe a small, tranquil oceanfront escape with standout staff, spacious view-filled rooms, and memorable chef-led dinners, delivering a boutique, homey atmosphere that feels more like an upscale bed-and-breakfast than a typical resort.
Facilities include an infinity pool, hot tub, red light sauna, and a peaceful trail to the rocky shoreline. It feels secluded about 15 minutes from Hilo, so a car helps; on-site dinners occur only on select nights, and a few guests found the stay pricey. Ideal for travelers seeking tranquility and personalized service in a boutique, oceanfront setting.

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 ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!!!!

This hidden gem along the countryside coastline offers an experience akin to 5-star accommodations with a charming B&B vibe. The staff is exceptional, going above and beyond by arranging a cake from a local bakery and a handmade lei for my husband’s birthday. They even provided us with fresh and locally sourced snacks for our early mornings when we couldn’t make breakfast. The food is outstanding! The Friday night chef tasting and Saturday BBQ surpassed any local restaurants and offerings from larger resorts on other islands. The personalized, attentive chef boasts a creative palate and beautiful plating. Our room was clean, safe, and comfortable, with stunning ocean views, and the property grounds feature a peaceful garden and a jungle walkway to the water. Relaxing, laid-back, with upscale touches and high-quality food, this is the perfect Hawaiian getaway! A must-stay on the Big Island! The amazing location is enhanced by the personalized touches of the attentive and caring staff. Can’t wait to return!

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.

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.

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!

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!

It was a nice stay, very different and private. We loved the room and the view, saw dolphins from the porch and enjoyed the trail down to the beach and a very nice dinner on 1 evening. So, you will have a good time there when you book it. Downer I need to mention is the price overall. It’s way to expensive for what you get, directly on the freeway, dinner only Tue/Fr and Sat and a minimal breakfast is included. You need to drive to local stores for the rest, which is fine but not convenient. We enjoyed it, however this

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.

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!

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.

This hidden gem along the countryside coastline offers an experience akin to 5-star accommodations with a charming B&B vibe. The staff is exceptional, going above and beyond by arranging a cake from a local bakery and a handmade lei for my husband’s birthday. They even provided us with fresh and locally sourced snacks for our early mornings when we couldn’t make breakfast. The food is outstanding! The Friday night chef tasting and Saturday BBQ surpassed any local restaurants and offerings from larger resorts on other islands. The personalized, attentive chef boasts a creative palate and beautiful plating. Our room was clean, safe, and comfortable, with stunning ocean views, and the property grounds feature a peaceful garden and a jungle walkway to the water. Relaxing, laid-back, with upscale touches and high-quality food, this is the perfect Hawaiian getaway! A must-stay on the Big Island! The amazing location is enhanced by the personalized touches of the attentive and caring staff. Can’t wait to return!

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 ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

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.

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.

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.

Dining
Dining is a standout, especially the multi-course chef dinners and occasional BBQs, with many praising quality, presentation, and accommodation of dietary needs; breakfasts are generally appreciated. Offerings run only on select nights, and one review cited an allergy oversight.

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!

* 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!!!!

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!
