Top Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden Hotel Reviews

Kikala Waterfall Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The property was absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely book here again."

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is definitely old with limited parking. First impressions aside, it is located on the bay in a quiet part of Hilo. The rooms too were old and had not been renovated in a while, but ours was spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful."

Hilo Bay Oceanfront B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful setting on the water. Friendly and helpful property owners. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Will stay there again."

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Considering they just went through a bad storm, this hotel was clean and the staff were courteous and friendly. Room was clean and we enjoyed our getaway."

Arnott's Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"only issue there was is the ac did not get very cold. i set the temperatre to 64 degrees, which is the coldest setting, and the room felt like 70 degrees. also not a big deal unless you arriveing on a late flight, office hours are only 9-5, checking in after 5 is an issue"

Honomu Place - Resort Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of twelve traveled to Honomu right after the largest hurricane the island had seen in over 150 years. We almost canceled, but this trip was a once‑in‑a‑lifetime “final hurrah” for my in‑laws, who rarely travel and don’t plan to fly again. When the airline confirmed it was safe, we decided to go — not realizing the island would be without power for several days.Even with a 3–4 day outage, this stay became one of the most meaningful vacations we’ve ever had. The home is beautiful, full of natural light, and surprisingly comfortable even without electricity. We spent our days enjoying the property, cooking on the barbecue, using ice chests, talking, laughing, and truly reconnecting as a family. It felt like “mansion camping,” and somehow it was perfect.Our host was incredible. They checked in often, opened an extra room for us, kept us updated on the local situation, and even had a neighbor stop by to welcome us and share where we could find internet and supplies. As soon as the weather cleared, they sent someone to clean the pools so we could enjoy the outdoor space. Their kindness made a challenging situation feel safe and supported.When the power finally returned, the host generously extended our stay for free, allowing us to fully enjoy the home. Despite the hurricane, this was one of my favorite vacations ever. The house was amazing, the host was amazing,My kids are already begging to return and missing the stuffed animal turtles!"

Hamakua Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is wonderful, delicious fruit for breakfast and amazing views. Valerie is a wonderful host at this resort."

Hawaii Magic Skies B&B Farmstay

10/10 Excellent

"This place was awesome, perfect for our short stay in Hilo. We enjoyed the sunrise from the balcony each morning, the house and grounds are beautiful and our host was great yoo!"

Oceanfront Promontory w/ Stunning Views & Luxury Accommodations. Walk to Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Great well furnished house. Most anything you could think of, the house had it. Beautiful location. Loved spending family dinners and game time on the lanai. If you are sensitive to sounds at night, bring earplugs or sound canceling earplugs because the coqui frogs can be very noisy."
