Vacations Close To Great 4-D Movie Ride

Our stay at Gingerhill Farm in Hawaii was a truly unique experience and the perfect retreat. If you're looking for something comfortable and memorable outside of the traditional resort stay, this is it. The outdoor shower and open-air kitchen were absolute highlights—they made us feel immersed in the beautiful surroundings while still having everything we needed. The property is filled with lush gardens, blooming ginger, and vibrant tropical plants that create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. We also loved spotting the friendly geckos throughout the property, which added to the authentic island experience. A wonderful bonus was discovering the beautiful artwork by Mayumi Oda displayed throughout the property. Her vibrant, nature-inspired prints complemented the peaceful setting perfectly and added another layer of inspiration to our stay. If you appreciate nature, tranquility, and a one-of-a-kind place to stay, Gingerhill Farm is a wonderful choice!

Helped us a lot during hurricane. Kept power

The resort was nice. The ocean front condo had a great view. There isn’t really much to do 9n “the resort”except swim. There were two pools. There is a small grab and go for food at the family pool but they are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays and only open 8a-12p. When we asked about a good place to eat dinner we were handed a pamphlet which listed the poolside cafe that was closed that day and offered no suggestions. Although the staff was friendly, they offered no information on a plan for the hurricane and just said we aren’t being told to do anything yet. They handed out a paper that just listed hurricane categories.

The cleaners had the condo immaculate. All appliances, counters, floors, bathrooms, etc were spotless. Sofa and chairs looked new… no stains or wear. The staff at check-in were very helpful! They had great suggestions for beaches and sea turtle viewing. Staff were non-intrusive, yet always available for questions as they worked to maintain the property. Pools and hot tubs were well maintained, warm, and appealed to multigenerational vacationers. I hope to return in the future!

The positives are that the condo is spacious, the resort complex is beautiful, and the pool area is excellent. The location is also convenient for exploring the Kona area. However, the condo itself feels quite dated. The furniture, kitchen, bathrooms, and appliances are all older than expected, and the cookware was heavily scratched and should be replaced. Another disappointment was that air conditioning requires an additional fee, which we only realized after making the reservation. Since the top floor becomes very warm during the day, air conditioning feels more like a necessity than an optional upgrade. It's also worth noting that the condo requires climbing stairs just to reach the entrance, and because it's a two-level unit, carrying luggage during check-in and check-out can be inconvenient. Overall, this is a nice place in a well-maintained complex, but we expected a more updated condo for the price. We've stayed in other condos on the Big Island that were more modern and provided a better overall experience, so this one didn't feel like the best value. We enjoyed our stay, but we would likely choose a different property next time
