I loved the Manago Hotel. It shows #1 of 1 in Capt. Cook, but it is not a winner by default - its the real deal. This is a great place to stay. I went for the Japanese room, and loved it. The bath tub was fantastic. The only downside is that when staying in the Japanese room you pay... more

I travel to the big island of Hawaii regularly for work and have had many opportunities to explore the island. The Manago Hotel is my favorite my place to stay on Hawaii. The hotel has a charming Japanese garden and clean, comfortable rooms. It is located near Kealakekua Bay. (One can rent a kayak nearby and kayak across the bay... more

My wife and I were visiting family on Oahu for a couple of weeks and we planned a 3 day trip away to the Big Island to give a break to our family we were visiting. We have neighbors who have a home in Captain Cook so we asked them what would be a good hotel in Captain Cook area... more

I absolutely loved this hotel. http://www.managohotel.com It doesn't look exciting from the outside, but the room I had was really nice. I took the Japanese style room (about 10$ more) and it was excellent. I would not suggest it for a person with knees problem though. The room radiated good energy; the view was beautiful overlooking the ocean. There was... more

Can't really say much more than the other reviews. It's a perfect place for those who will be exploring all day and just need a bed and very clean room to come back to. No frills, no TV, etc., except a great view from the third floor rooms. Bring your ear plugs for the very early rooster wake-up calls. We... more

This is not the Four Seasons. It is a discount hotel for a discount-minded traveler not looking for any frills. The location is terrific, the view from the third-floor balconies is spectacular, and it is impeccably clean. That said, the walls are thin, the amenities are sparse and the bedding and linens are typical discount-hotel quality. We were pleasantly surprised... more

We spent 5 nights at the Manago - the rate was $64 for a 3rd floor room with queen bed. I had a pretty clear picture of what to expect from the reviews here, plus the descriptions in the various guidebooks. Even the writeup in my old copy of "Hawaii on $25 a Day", published in 1980, was very accurate,... more

We loved the Manago - it is a historic, character, quirky kind of place. You will feel like you're in old Hawaii - you certainly won't feel like you're in a generic condo or look-alike hotel. We paid $64 for a room with a private bath and a balcony with ocean view (at some distance) overlooking some kind of small... more

During our 19 day trip in Hawaii, it rained for the first 13 days. We had reservations at the Manago, but called to see if we could get in a couple of days earlier (60% chance of rain on Hilo side, only 30% on Kona side). They did have a room available, so we went there two days early. The... more
