ジ イン アット クラニアピア フォールズ(The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls)

Staying at Kulaniapia Falls was an absolutely incredible experience! Stayed for one night, but would have stayed longer, if possible. It was my absolute favorite part of my Big Island experience. Highly recommend!

I don't usually write a lot of reviews, but I specifically came back to this booking that we had in April of 2022 because I've thought about it so much since that stay. This was possibly the most idyllic setting I've ever had the pleasure of staying at; the grounds around the main property are like a movie set. It was impossibly pretty, and the hiking trail they set up around the multitude of tropical plants they grow there was a lot of fun to walk. We swam in the pool where the waterfall was flowing, but the water was a little too high to try and get up underneath the falls itself. We had a wonderful night's sleep away from the bustle of town; we slept with our windows open and during the night one of the house cats decided it wanted to sleep in the bed with us, so we made a little space for our new friend. If you're looking for a unique experience in Hilo I'd highly recommend this incredible property. We only stayed one night so I can't comment on a lot of the hospitality outside of the excellent breakfast we had, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that it would all be equally great.

This was a magical experience. So private, beautiful, and serene. Loved all the employees as well.

Beautiful location right by the waterfall -- the walk around the property is beautiful.

My husband and I had a great stay. The waterfall was beautiful and the breakfast was delicious!

Lovely inn right next to a waterfall with great activities. Beautiful and secluded, well worth the extra little drive from Hilo. The resident cat was super friendly. The included (with an overnight stay) breakfast was delicious.

This place was a true retreat of the senses.

Property was exceptional. The only issue is that I felt rushed with the inn trying to place a deposit hold on my card several times

A truly magical special place like any other. Words can’t describe. So much peace and serenity in this beautiful place. We were worried about spending the amount we did before getting there but honestly now that we have been feel it was priceless. There is a serenade of frogs and insects at night in addition to the raging water sounds of the falls that are way closer than they seen in photos of the property. There is a beautiful peaceful trail down to the falls with hidden benches and views. We even swam in the 50ft deep pool beneath the waterfall! The staff work from the heart in presenting the property and preparing the free breakfast (which is made from ingredients grown on the associated farm). I can’t say enough good things about this special place!
