Kalani Oceanside Retreat

Really great place. I was traveling with my son and we enjoyed view and location. Additional fun was watching boar family passing by every evening. Stuff is super friendly.

If you're a light sleeper, please note that there's no glasses in the top window. You can hear all nature sounds. For me was a bit difficult to fall asleep.

The location was amazing! Watch the sunrise out of the ocean from your back door.

Incredible ocean view. Friendly staff. Close to the beach and little store.

I stepped on a noni fruit and it got in between my toes. My bad!!!

Location was beautiful. Isolated, so close to the beach. The room was also beautiful, it was a small cabin separated from others. It's definitely "jungle chic" so those who might fear the word glamping may not appreciate this resort. But for most, it'll be beautiful. It being behind a locked gate also makes it feel extra safe.

Beautiful location near the ocean. Lovely artwork. Outside shower. One comfortable bed. Roomy. Lots of lights. Very friendly and eager staff. Great climate. Bidet. Lots of outlets. Good wifi when it work

Tricky checkin. Needed code to drive in. Another code for key box. A lot of old, worn items in cottage. Too many light switches. One by the door was upside down. No blanket for second bed. Electricity didn't work when we arrived. Internet and phone service intermittent. Some window cranks did not work. Bidet not connected to wall outlet, no cord. No restaurant within 15 miles. No breakfast. No pool or jacuzzi. Lacking many features that the place had when I stayed here before. Advertised access to masseurs online, but actually not on web site. No male masseurs.

The location was beautiful, so relaxing, tranquil and still close to a town. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We wished we got to do more of the classes /events on. Next time 😊

I don’t believe we had any dislikes 🙃

The room very comfortable they have. Guy who leave there name and is part of the staff he help alot

Nothing

I was looking for a peaceful respite to dive into creative writing surrounded by lush jungle beauty, and I can’t imagine a better match. While staying here I adored my cottage: I could hear ocean waves crashing from the lanai space, I found the seclusion I was hoping for and felt very connected to nature and wildlife on the property. I adored the geckos and mongoose and while I can’t say the same about the mosquitoes (the jungle is real!), overall I found the change of scenery I was hoping for. The classes offered covered a range of interests and I hopped into yoga a couple times during my stay.

I wish there were more meal options on the property, though I knew to expect it was a remote location, so I ended up making a run into the closest town for groceries. That seems like the tradeoff for the rugged beauty in this part of the Big Island.
