Akatsuka Orchid Gardens

It is an amazing place; the owner really loves her job, and I would 10/10 recommend staying here. It has a very nice location, and the breakfast was spot on.

We stayed in the Garden room and found it to be a little peace of paradise all on its own. The host was absolutely fabulous, he would come over in the morning and get the coffee going, gave us an itinerary of events going on for each day of the week. On Monday he hosted a bonfire bbq, with drinks, food, and entertainment. We felt very welcome here. One of the highlights beyond the awesome hot tub in the jungle was the outdoor shower, now I want one at my house. This will definitely be our Hawaii home for every trip to the big island. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay or a better time staying there. Absolutely the best resort I’ve been to.

The outside of the property was not well maintained and was dirty. The rooms were damp and had a musty smell. I would not recommend this for any long-term stay maybe a day is OK if you’re just going to the park for one day
