Unique big island experience much akin glamping with wild life and caring spiritual staff. Off the beaten path is an understatement. Great fresh coconut.
My experience with the sanctuary was wonderful. Very friendly staff and the amenities around the area were great as well. Would definitely stay again!

Staying the the Hawaiian rainforest is a unique experience. I think the location is what trumped all my other needs and expectations of a quality stay.
Haven’t stayed here for a few years, was pleasantly surprised by a warm personalized welcome and tour and easy registration. The property just so happened to have a fun dance and music event happening, made new friends!
So welcoming from day one. Beautiful property and we had a private cabin. My little daughter was amazed by all the property had to offer and wanted to come back early from our volcano adventures everyday.
This location was the perfect spot for an off-the-beaten-path experience! It’s got a cafe, mini farm, hot tub/sauna, a nursery, and so much more. We only stayed one night in one of the cabins and it was excellent. You can hear the rains and the forest sounds right outside your window. The people there were also so friendly, inviting, and warm.
Booked here for just one night because it was very affordable. Wasn't expecting it to be as much fun as it was! Besides being a beautiful property, there was an EDM dance party going on a short walk from the room. Fun people, great music, free party! The room you'll be staying in is small, and you'll be sharing restroom facilities, but for the price, all the wonderful common areas, the spa, the gorgeous surroundings, and the possibility of live DJs (!) you get far more than you paid for. A wonderful Hawaiian surprise.
This was the best sleep i have gotten in forever. It was so dark and peaceful (coqui frogs and peacocks don’t bother me; they’re like a lullaby from nature). The beds were very comfortable. If you stay in the flower named rooms, you are close to a bathroom and have a sink in your room. The cabins are a little more rustic in that you have to walk to the shared showers and bathrooms. The outdoor showers were lovely and clean. The bathrooms were also clean and usually there wasn’t a wait. The hostess is lovely and inviting. The coffee in the morning was very appreciated and delicious. I wish i had gone to a yoga class. All in all if you don’t mind roughing it a little, and especially if you have even a little bit of hippy free spirit to you, this is a great place to stay!
We were so lucky to find this lovely place while the tsunami alert was in place. The people were so welcoming and helpful.
The setting is delightful and the sound of the birds is so peaceful.
I had and amazing and peaceful time in Hawaiian sanctuary I like the area and location and very helpful and friendly staff ! Highly recommend this place
