Top Akaka Falls State Park Hotel Reviews

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

"The only problem we had was with the tv reception. Normally not a problem but because there was a possible hurricane entering our home vicinity we wanted to keep informed of what was happening"

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

Hamakua Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for four days. A great place to stay during your visit. It’s clean and comfortable. Will visit here again if I come to Hawaii."

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!"

Mahana House Country Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Mahana House is a gorgeous space where seemingly everything has been thought about and tended to. The hosts are kind, gracious, and welcoming. They're as available as you need them to be, and when my mom and I were caught in a tropical storm and literally not even sure we'd make it to the inn, they were continuously available and responsible, without having electricity themselves. This is a truly beautiful, special place, and I hope to go back!"

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!"
