"The staff were incredible - so friendly and helpful. This was my first time ever staying in a resort like this but they explained everything well and were really attentive. It’s a beautiful property. The dining options felt a little limited when I was there because one of the two restaurants that serve food beyond breakfast was closed and there isn’t much around, although I had a rental car and was able to travel. Also, the resort fee and what it allegedly pays for is disappointing - although I don’t think that’s all on this one property since it’s become standard practice. But for example, they said the resort fee paid for the tote bag and water bottle you receive along with the juice and cold towel and some other items that were just kinda basic. The resort fee isn’t optional but also saying it’s paying for the things that are the least enticing about the stay doesn’t make it easier to pay. "

"Nice property "

"Amazing stay !! Old plantation vibes and relaxing!!! "

"The studio has a stunning view overlooking Kohala Coast!"

"Polar opposite of Waikiki is what the host told me and I could not have been happier just because of that!"

"This is the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Understated and tasteful elegance. Fantastic rooms with amazing balconies, world class beach, impeccable service, excellent grounds, fine dining at Manta, but also a beachfront casual bar/restaurant, and Copper Bar in between and our favorite. They have an Asian Art Collection worthy of a museum. This was out of our usual price range, a big splurge, and worth every penny. We are already trying to figure out how to swing it to go back next winter. "

"A beautiful property that is exactly as advertised. We stayed for 30 days and enjoyed it very much. "

"We have been to the Big Island many times and staying Waipio Gardens was one of the best trips we've ever had there. It is a beautiful property that provided serenity, great hiking and amazing beach time. The house is nestled in the jungle in the valley with gorgeous plants, fruit trees, lots of birds and even wild horses. We picked and enjoyed fresh oranges, grapefruit and papaya. The hosts, Sukumar and Kristi, were very helpful in the planning of the trip as well as ferrying us to and from the house. Getting there was indeed part of the adventure and this location provides the opportunity to experience a part of the island that most will never get to see. Would highly recommend!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check-in and check-out were incredibly easy and straightforward. We had a couple of very minor concerns and maintenance was there first thing the next morning (what incredible service!). The house was lovely and everything we were looking for. Two of my family members are extremely allergic to cats. The listing didn't mention cats at the time of our booking - however, that has been changed. The owner did communicate that there was a feral cat near the home before we arrived. However, we didn't know the cats lived so close to the house. The feeder is right at the back door. At the time of our stay, there were three cats living there and they all spent significant time on the outdoor furniture. Because of allergies, we were unable to fully enjoy the outdoor space (which is truly one of the very best parts of the home). I would caution anyone with pet allergies. Otherwise, this is a truly delightful home! "
