夏威夷島霍歐馬魯西亞阿虎普哈庫療養飯店

I attended a retreat here and the experience was wonderful. The staff were so helpful in anything I asked for; they are wonderful in every way. The property is so peaceful and I enjoyed the massage treatment I received so much. Being right there with a gentle breeze made the times indoor so enjoyable. The trails were wonderful and the pool amazing. I would highly recommend and intend to go back and probably take my family with me this time.

Do not stay here. Especially if you have small children. It’s dirty, gross and not as advertised!! This is NOT a resort. This is a rundown 70’s hostel. If it advertised as a hostel, my expectations would be in line and would have been fine with my stay. Instead it touts itself as a “luxury resort” and it is anything but that. My family rented this entire resort and time and time again they said they were kid friendly. 100% not kid friendly. Like why are there low and dirty pond everywhere that kids could trip and fall into?? We rented the entire resort, yet other guest where staying there? We paid for breakfast and random guests joined us? We were allowed to use their kitchen and it was the most disgusting kitchen I have ever seen. There was a small refrigerator in the open dining room for all the guests which was also dirty and disgusting. The people working here seemed like backpackers working for free. The girl who made our breakfast was wearing short shorts with no bra. Like there are small children everywhere. Our rooms were so gross and dirty. We knew there was no air cond but bec we our room was in the back, it was sooooo hot. If you not going have screens on the doors, no air conditioning at least provide mosquito nets. It was so hot that we left the doors open but guess what flew in? Cockroaches. No no no!! We stayed (3) days and left. We could not waste another moment in Hawaii at this hostel. 0/5 would recommend.

I just spent 5 wonderful days at Hawaii Island Retreat and words cannot express how special my time there was. They treated me like a part of the family and I wanted for nothing. Every morning my breakfast was ready for me at 8am. They would make me fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and sliced mangoes right off the trees on the property. I’d also get fresh made goat cheese, which was absolutely delicious. Jeanie took such wonderful care of me my entire stay and gave me a personal tour of the land. The retreat is built on 55 acres of sacred ground. She told me stories of the ancient rituals and traditions that used to take place there. I even got to meet the resident goats and chickens! I took full advantage of the spa menu and got multiple treatments with both Jeanie and Momi. Both were fabulous and deeply pampered me. Yoga with Lia was a very special experience. She taught class in a beautiful glass room overlooking the valley and infinity pool. Absolutely breathtaking. On the last day of my stay, I got a special treat with a private Hula class with Mike. He was SO fun and class was educational and easy to follow. If you stay there, I highly recommend taking a walk down to the private cove. It’s not safe to swim BUT it’s really beautiful to watch the waves. I definitely plan on coming back and staying again as 5 days on the Big Island was really not enough. The retreat is really conveniently located and super easy to get around the island from there. I had SO many great shops and places to eat close by. But truly, I think the most special part about this place is the staff. They made everything feel so first class for me. I can’t wait to return!
