Wood Valley Romantic Holidays

The room smelled like mold. The soap dispenser was broken in one of the bathrooms. The living room furniture was worn and dirty. The bedroom curtains were broken and did not close all the way. We needed to makeshift a solution do that people passing by outside could not see into the bedroom. Other than that, the view of the ocean was great. The property is near eateries, coffee, and restaurants. We will not stay here again.

Great

We stayed 2 nights in an Oceanfront Room with Club Lounge access. The ocean view was breathtaking, and the Club Lounge host, Aunt Fua, was exceptional—warm, kind, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. She truly provided the Hawaiian hospitality. Unfortunately, several major issues overshadowed these positives. At the pool bar, our family waited nearly 10 minutes just to be acknowledged and seated. During that time, the bartender appeared to ignore us while openly chatting with other guests, without serving food or drinks. We considered leaving, but we were in swimsuits and had no other convenient dining option on-property. Once seated, we ordered a burger for our son and a poke bowl for myself. The burger was fine, but the poke was very poor quality. We live in WA and eat poke frequently, so we know good-quality fish. As the only non-white guests there at the time, the lack of attention also made us feel particularly unwelcome. I chose not to make an issue of it in front of my son, left a tip, and left. This experience was so disappointing that we avoided the resort's other restaurants for the rest of our stay. We later found a live cockroach in our bathroom, unacceptable for a resort-level property and premium room. At checkout, no valet staff was available to help with our luggage or retrieve our vehicle, so we had to carry our bags to the front desk and wait. Unfortunately, we do not plan to return to this properties due to the inconsistent service & pool bar experience.

This is the best hotel that we have stayed at. The amenities, staff, rooms, the spa, the adult pool, the food, the beach…all 5 stars! Swam with manta rays and did the longest running luau that was well done. Have been coming here since the 80’s and it only keeps getting better. We love the Mauna Kea and the Big Island of Hawaii.

Went there everything is beautiful but the most amazing thing is the people!!!!!
