Exceeded all of our expectations. Gorgeous property, warm and friendly staff, knowledgeable tour guides, great food, no crowds, nice beach and great activities to book, or not, both jungle and reef.

To start, I must give a shout out to the fabulous, professional, warm dive crew at Hamanasi. France, Eric, Big Daddy and everyone else made us feel safe at all times while adding humor and adventure to our multiple dive experiences. We truly enjoyed spending hours with them on the boat and during our island breaks. They also gave us valuable diving tips after each excursion that helped us improve our skills. I am a new diver, and my experience with this crew makes me want to expand my certification and return to Hamanasi for more! The resort is simply magical. Everyone knew our names, asked about our daily adventures, made us laugh, and treated us like family. Our treehouse room was beyond beautiful. The restaurant food was spectacular, and the pool area was chill and serene. We especially enjoyed giving resident cat Mango daily scratches (he was most friendly when his food bowl needed a refill!). Although many guests get the full meal plan at the resort, I recommend you save some dinners for the fantastic Chef Rob’s Gourmet Cafe down the street (reserve his chef tasting dinner) and karaoke night at Ella’s in town (the food there is also fresh and delicious). And don’t forget to stop by Black Orchid Ice Cream in the afternoon after an excursion. A perfect vacation!

Best vacation ever! Hamamasi Resort is fantastic. The staff is always happy and ready to assist you with whatever you need. The adventures are top notch and the guides are very knowledgeable about where you are and what you are seeing. The food is spectacular and the staff will work with you regarding allergies or dietary needs. We are definitely going back for more fun and adventures.

Truly one of the best lodges and experiences I've had in 60+ years of world travel. Superb setting, amazing attention to every detail from all of the staff, incredible food for all diets. I have NO Reservations about a recommendation. Worth every penny and more.

Beautiful resort with excellent service. It was a highly organized operation. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. I felt very relaxed here and also was able to enjoy the adventures. I was particularly impressed with how the Hamanasi staff were able to accommodate dietary needs, with variety and great flavor! Vegan meals were not an afterthought. I would definitely come back and I don't normally like to go to the same place twice!

Absolutely fantastic stay. Great location (albeit isolated), right on the beach, with lots of space to relax without crowds. The staff is amazing: At every turn they greet you by name and are engaging without overstepping. Quite a balancing act! To know: Rooms do not have blackout shades The jungle is noises so bring a white noise machine The service charge is not a substitute for tips. I wish they had been more clear about this. I asked several times and didn’t get a clear answer until we were on site. Highlights: Tours were all amazing. Guides wonderful. We did the canoeing, mayflower waterfall hike, and the cave and jungle. All our guides were great. Room was GORGEOUS Tons of wildlife right outside our room Food was fantastic Others have noted great wine list. I disagree. But it was reasonable. Could not have been any happier. FYI we were there as a family of four in a deluxe tree house with an 18 and 20 year old kids.

I give Hamanasi my highest recommendation. We came for a week and booked the double room (separate room with two small beds for the kids) and got the adventure and food package. The adventure package included five expeditions and the food package covered all meals, excluding alcohol and specialty coffee drinks. I've never felt more welcome at a hotel - everywhere we went the stafr said hi and knew our names. The food was excellent and the kitchen is really accommodating and will make you anything so long as they have the ingredients. Special shout out to our guide BJ who we had the pleasure of being with for snorkeling, canoeing, and hiking. We almost never visit the same place twice but will return to Hamanasi in a few years.

Went for a wonderful happy hour....such great service and a beautiful resort!

Gooddd

This resort feels like a much more luxurious experience than what we paid for it. Their commitment to sustainability and support to the local community is admirable. The small size feels intimate, and the very friendly staff takes care of every need. Hamanasi is the perfect blend of rainforest and ocean for those looking to stay at a single location. There were lots of great options for add on tours in addition to our package. The food was plentiful and delish. I loved the bartender creations. Guides were knowledgeable and safe. My room was so cute, and the hammock on the balcony was a nice touch. I felt very safe and pampered during my week here. Great for singles, couples, and families. 10/10, would stay again!
