My husband and I spent our 10 day Hawaiian Honeymoon at the Hawaii Island Retreat. We spent the first 5 days in one of the main retreat rooms followed by 5 days in a yurt. We were in heaven. From our balcony we had the sounds and views of the ocean. We ate every meal in the open air dinning... More

I have gone to Hawaii four times because my husband loves it. The first three times, I loaded myself up with books and music and work-out gear and got through the week fine. I don't go in the sun. I don't like being hot. But it was OK, not my dream trip, but OK. Geanne and her staff at Hawaii... More

We ended our sightseeing trip to the Big Island of Hawaii with five nights in the yurt accommodation at Hawaii Island Retreat and thoroughly enjoyed it. The setting is beautiful and the mood set by the owners is one of total relaxation. I enjoyed two massages and a facial. We enjoyed walking around the property and especially hiking down to... More

This boutique hotel is peaceful, tranquil, inviting and generous in hospitality and warmth. We stayed in one of their yurts, which was our kind of luxury--a beautiful private space with luxury interior and indoor plumbing (no outdoor walks in the middle of the night :). Showers were in a separate building a few steps away. We walked a short distance... More

After reading the resort info about an up coming yoga retreat I was excited to get away to a beautiful oasis in Hawaii. The package was very expensive and therefore I was expecting 5 star Organic luxury. The resort was beautiful, but not worth the daily rate. We felt that their website details were very misleading and therefore making this... More

Hawaii Island Retreat is the best place I've stayed for a peaceful, restful, and healthy vacation. The environment is unique in Hawaii -- a small, beautiful lodge on over 50 acres of North Kohala landscape. The owners and staff treat everyone as long lost friends. The food, much of it grown on sight, is exceptional. Yoga and Massage also available... More

My wife and I really wanted to like this place, but we had to leave after just one night (we planned to stay for three nights). We are very discriminating travelers who expect good excellent value and service. The yurts have holes in the netting, and therefore we got eaten up by mosquitoes during the night. That is simply unacceptable... More

The Hawaii Island Retreat was a true oasis and retreat. The staff treats you like family and Moe whips up the most amazing meals. I have never eaten so well! Fresh fruit and veggies from the estate gardens. The Spa and Pool are not to be missed. Our couples massage on the lania over looking the valley was a highlight... More

A slightly overdue review from me here as we actually spent last Christmas at the Hawaii Island Retreat. It was absolutely wonderful. Our room (we had the Golden Penthouse) was beautiful; airy, light-filled and with a big veranda/lanai outside double doors, with a view of the sea through some pine trees. We saw some lovely sunsets as well as some... More
