What a beautiful place. It is amazing to think of all of the things that have been done. The trails, the bamboo garden, the large parking lots, the fabulous floors, and beautiful furnishings. The sounds of the rushing waterfall will lull anybody to sleep even with the worst insomnia, easily drowning out the noisy frogs. And the assistant, Jasmine, is... More

The Inn at Kulaniapia was one of the most peaceful and picture perfect settings I have ever been to. Driving throught the lush forest outside of Hilo to the resort makes you feel like you are entering another world. When you arrive on the property you are welcomed by tall bamboo gardens, a view over the ocean, and the sound... More

Previous reviews gave some indication but it's not till you're there that you realize that you are in a tropical paradise. With a magnificent waterfall and stunning surrounds you can't help thinking that you don't want to leave. Well worth the distance away from Hilo on a good road. Service was helpful and friendly without being intrusive. I don't normally... More

As a big fan of the island of Hawaii (Big Island) I have never been at a lack of beauty from the island. While staying at the Inn they took it to a whole new level. The common areas are amazing although I was not used to sharing one. It created a mini family of those staying at the Inn,... More

What a pleasant surprise. Found this on Hotels.com and took a chance, so glad we did. It is a little hard to find so be sure to have your GPS, it was well worth the drive. It is so peaceful and beautiful, this place was one of the highlights of our 11 day stay on the Big Island even though... More

The property is just a retreat! I absolutely enjoyed the scenery of the waterfall and the gardens. Breakfast was delicious (lots of fruit, macadamian waffles, eggs). The staff were darling and very helpful on giving tips on your travel. The Jasmine Room was nice and cozy. They made the bed and change the towels everyday. I would definitely stay here... More

Fantastic location! Yes, it's quite a drive from town but driving through the mac farms and looking over the foothills is relaxing. Walk down the path to the waterfall. Enchanting. We rented the Pagoda House for three of our five nights. Lovely setting. Sadly, there was plenty of mold in the bathroom (not as much as what was to follow).... More

The Inn is beautiful. The people running it are friendly but very respectful of your privacy. I would recommend that you make your trek to the Inn for the first time during the daytime when it is light outside. The road is well-marked but narrow and winding. It is in the countryside but within 10 minutes of being in the... More

Stayed three nights here in the Orchid room with our twin 8 year old girls. It was cozy for the four of us, but worked just fine. Breakfast with Leah was an absoloute highlight as was walking the grounds to explore the bamboo garden and waterfall and walking up the road to see the amazing views of Hilo. Very comfy... More

We spent one night at this delightful B&B located a couple of minutes walk from a fabulous waterfall in the middle of huge macadamia nut plantations. This is a terrific place for many reasons: beautiful and spacious rooms, comfortable beds, delicious cooked-to-order breakfast, scenic deck overlooking the waterfalls, and wonderful hiking trails with exotic bamboo plantings leading to even more...
