Top Mauna Kea Observatory Hotel Reviews
Kikala Waterfall Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"What an amazing experience to have a beautiful little cottage, nestled in the rainforest area with a beautiful waterfall looking right out. Your door via accommodations were wonderful, Axel the owner was just a delight if you ever want an off the beaten path, but not that far away from Hilo beautiful experience where you could swim and experience your own private waterfall. I highly recommend it. "

"As advertised - loved our balcony to relax w idyllic Ocean & Mauna Kea views, inc picture perfect sunsets, comfortable lounge chairs at pools and at the white sand beach. Glad we got breakfast buffet included, w excellent variety of food, quality & service. Wish we knew ahead of time to pre-book the complimentary outrigger canoe trip - will do next time!"
Hamakua Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"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."
