Hamakua Coast hotel guide. Fairmont hotel in Hamakua Coast, Hawaii

"The ocean was visible from both our rooms. We did not cook, just made tea; but the kitchen appeared to be well equipped and we saw other guests cooking. The bathroom was clean and had several showers, so we never had to wait The hostel is very conveniently located in downtown Hilo."

"We came for the Merrie Monarch festivities. Staff is amazing, the room was clean. We enjoyed breakfast and a late lunch early dinner...the food was amazing!!!"

"It was the only available room for Merrie Monarch - stayed 2 nights but had to change rooms. Rooms were actually ok but there was basically no view of the bay as shown on website."

"This was the best hotel I ever stayed at. The breakfast was made to order with fresh fruit. The view of the ocean was beautiful. The room was large with thick towels and robes. The hot tub was big, clean and had a great view of the ocean."

"Clean room, comfortable beds. Our only complaint was that we wanted to extend our stay by another night and the front desk could not do it without waiting for the reservation staff to arrive which wasn't to happen until 10am. Essentially we had to pack up, check out and be checked back in later. Needless to say we did not stay. "

"We were greeted by the owner who toted our luggage in then gave us a brief tour and some helpful touring suggestions. Our room was clean and comfortable with very good beds. The large balcony area adjacent to our room was lovely. Breakfast was prompt and very tasty. Overall a very nice experience. "

"Loved it here! Would have stayed longer but they were booked up. Great location. Short BEAUTIFUL walk to the beach/park. The woman at the front desk was so nice and helpful! A+"

"Room was clean and very unique. Loved this property and the vibe. Great location. Staff were excellent. Good amenities. Restaurants nearby. Would love to stay here again. "

"The start of the stay started off well with Sarge, the property manager, and all, with him cooking for us and welcoming us in. The rules were very strict in having no outter footwear inside the house. The property was nice with a stray cat, named White Knight, being around the property to be there during your stay. However, things went downhill when we found out that one of our friends was hit on by Sarge, which made her feel uncomfortable. We were caught off guard by this action and let the other guests who went there with us, to be cautious and watch over her. "
