this is a historic hotel managed by the third-generation of the manago family. the hotel shows its age but still has some charm. the larger tatami room were not available and we ended up getting a small room (very basic with no TV). the best part is that all the north-facing rooms have balconies overlooking the bay. and the location... more

My comments apply to the third floor rooms in the back newer building. A really nice view of the ocean w/ my own private balcony wow and for just $61/night :) Had two guys come in behind me and they only charged me three bucks more for each person and put up a third bed for me (no fuss). I... more

We stayed in this hotel for three nights while attending a conference. My wife found it just awful. You get what you pay for and the price should indicate this is only a very basic facility and not up to standard. For the rather modest rate you don't get much except a room, with a bed and bathroom. No in-room... more

Many have said it, but I'll say it again - nice, clean accommodations at a great price. Location makes it easy to find, close enough to Kailua if you want to be away from the touristy area but still visit. Our room had a beautiful ocean view as well, tough to beat this place for only ~$75! There's also a... more

We chose this hotel as somewhere to stay on our first night in Hawaii after an international and domestic flight. After reading reviews, the hotel lived up to expectations. It was dated but everything was clean and in working order. Unfortunately due to the lack of trade winds, there was an excess of vog which precluded us from enjoying the... more

We have wanted to stay at Manago Hotel since we ate in the restaurant on our first trip to the Big Island in 2006. We finally stayed overnight last week and loved it! It was the perfect start to our week on the Big Island. This would be a great base for exploration and a long-term stay. The price is... more

This sweet, family run hotel is incredible value with a brilliant location minutes from some of the best snorkelling spots on the island (and best local eats!). Speaking of which- the restaurant downstairs does a wicked breakfast ($5.50 for full breakfast) and rave reviews of their dinners. This is a bargain with character! more

every time i go to Hawaii i just have to stay at the manago hotel for the simple reason that it is so Hawaii. i can afford to stay in one of those 5 star hotels but for some reason they just do not have the island feel. the place just remind me so much of another time. And talking... more

We spent 3 nights at the Manago Hotel. We weren't really expecting much because of the price. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The furnishings are basic but comfortable. We stayed in the new wing on the 3rd floor and had a great view. Don't expect a television or air conditioning (we didn't miss either). The television room by the lobby... more
