This property is truly…read more Sometimes you see photos of a place and it looks "high-end", and then you arrive and the finishings are actually cheap and there was just good lighting in the photos. With The Last Resort, everything looks beautiful and high-end in the photos, and then you arrive and you're like, woah, this is somehow nicer than the photos? The attention to detail is unmatched. From the floors, to the layout, to the manicured lawn, to the signs, to the artwork, to the bed, to the sheets, to the showers -- just truly everything felt luxurious while at the same time, comfortable and natural. The entire property just felt so serene and magical. We had 2 families renting out both the Banyan House, Mango House, and Bamboo Suite. It was perfect. Everyone felt connected, but there was still plenty of space for privacy and seclusion. There's no doubt I will be a repeat guest at The Last Resort.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Wilson and the Mauna Kea Summit & Stars excursion…read more Wilson was incredibly well spoken and knowledgeable and I learned so much! He did all of this while navigating steep roads (not all paved) and feeding us amazing chicken stew, cookies, and hot cocoa. This was a truly memorable and magical trip and the weather was just perfect! Everything was well organized and I cannot recommend them enough

We went on an almost 100% full (flower) moon. It was special to see the terminator line on the…read moreCelestron telescope - it had such great definition! The color of Mauna Kea with the moon shining on it was so magical all around us. There were some clouds that cleared pretty well by the end of our star gazing. We were the last ones up there so it got dark enough to see more than you'd expect with the moon. Jeff, our awesome tour guide, used a laser pointer to help us see the constellations we usually can't back at home. The images on the digital telescope like nebulas, the moon & star clusters were an amazing addition to have as keepsakes. My husband and I felt he made the tour a great balance of learning and fun. He had the group feeling like family before we even left from the pickup lot. Things to consider: I do recommend following the moons cycles booking this tour/your trip if this is especially important for you to see as many stars as possible. The sunset and views of the observatory's make it awesome anyways :) I struggled with altitude sickness around 12,000 ft. Jeff had made sure to let us know beforehand if we experienced any issues to speak up. I was hesitant as I know it would mean turning the whole tour around, but some tingling turned to dizziness and then a brief fainting. He immediately stopped the bus and helped ground me and make sure I was completely okay & coherent before letting me know our options for the tour. We made it up to the top with 2 more (included in tour) stops and I felt better with each one having more time to acclimate :) Thank you Jeff!! You handled this so professionally and I appreciate your check-ins for the rest of the trip. It's cold even with parka and gloves. It's so worth packing warm shoes and layers. The bus had ac and heat so that was great! Do it if you can! Awe-inspiring! Such an unreal environment that makes you wonder about so many things. Just take the precautions seriously, move slow and breathe deep.

Great experience surfing here with Jace! Absolutely beautiful bay! The waves were powerful but I…read morefelt safe because of the instructor's experience level and open communication. Definitely would come back and try again if I can ever afford it. He gave a lot of advice so hopefully can work on it and try surfing again one day. If you love swimming and feel confident in the ocean, I highly recommend trying out surfing. You are never too old to try something new!

We have done surf lessons multiple times before, but this was by far the most disappointing experience.

Happy to report that four and the four had a GREAT time! Our instructors (Daniel and I missed the gal's name) were definitely a highlight. They let the kids go at their own speed but didn't treat them like babies. I've taken surf lessons in other cities and these were awesome because they cut right to the chase. Definitely more time spent in the water, which was appreciated. Their instructions they emailed ahead of time were spot on. Couldn't say more great things about our experience. All four kids ended up getting up on a board plenty of times, despite less than ideal Hawai'i conditions (gray, rainy, etc). They could have gone for another two hours!
