Panaewa Rainforest Zoo

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.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Our kids absolutely loved the pool, the temperature was perfect, and the hot tub was such a great bonus, especially with the rainy weather. It was quite hot, so having both options made it even more enjoyable. Our room was very spacious and spotless, with a beautiful ocean view. One of our favorite moments was having breakfast while watching the surfers out on the water, such a relaxing way to start the day. The kitchen was also spacious and very well equipped, which we really appreciated. Just a small note: there were no basic spices or condiments provided, so keep that in mind if you plan on cooking. The location is fantastic, making it easy to walk to most downtown attractions. Despite being so central, the hotel was very quiet, which we really appreciated. Overall, we have nothing but positive things to say and would definitely stay here again!
