The high count, luxury linens was the 2nd thing my husband noticed, after the beautiful gardens. I hate rough, old sheets, so having a bit of home away from home on a vacation, is wonderful. Thanks for the great bedding! The shells in the walkways and orchids everywhere made it feel like a luxury vacation! This beautiful property now feels like a resort! The upgrades have added an exotic luxury feeling to a perfect, perfect property! The little tea house now seems more like a luxury room! The TV, table, and patio chairs now give it the feeling of a little luxury suite…much improved! p.s. Office was fabulous! Allowed us to vacation and take care of work emergencies! Great to have wireless internet! And the cabana is heaven!!

A wonderful place to stay! My friends & I loved it and we didn’t want to leave. Everything about Shangri-La exceeded our expectations! I loved swimming in the lagoon & watching geckos scurry around. Such a dream! Can’t wait to come back! Some local recommendations: -Amazing Thai food in Pahoa at Nings, and Mexican at La Quins. - Acupuncture & massage (cheap!)- David Bruce Leonard 808-965-5432 -Wonderful Lomi Lomi massage in Pahoa (also cheap) Stephanie Joerke- 808-965-6307. -Fantastic coffee in Hilo at Bayfront Coffee, 116 Kamehameha Ave., 808-935-1155. -Fab resale shop in Hilo—Chi Chi La Fong (cash and checks only) 106 Haili St. 808-987-0887. -Snorkeling at Kapoho tidepools is beautiful. A million, million thanks for helping to make my first trip to Hawaii so lovely.

Shangri-La Staff & Owners: As a returning visitor to Shangri-La I couldn’t imagine how it could be better. Amazing improvements include dramatic lighting, fountains, tables, potted plants, stepping stones, whimsical touches like the shells and sea stars too! The most meaningful, personal touch of fresh flowers everywhere reinforces the feeling of true paradise! I appreciate the soaps, the (bottled) water, the nuts, shampoos, and the basics of plenty of toilet paper too. Arriving to a new and strange place to find only a ½ roll of TP has always seemed like an insult to me. I loved a new, clean, kitchen sponge, and the valentine’s pot holders and towels! People save all year for a vacation, and spending ours here is such a treat! We are going to scrimp and save so we can return to our favorite Hawaiian house away from the hustle and bustle and crowds of tourists in other areas. Thank you for the great stay!

We absolutely Loved Shangri-La! The setting is so beautiful and a great getaway from everyday life. We loved swimming in the tidepools, snorkeling, and seeing all of the sea life. As well the location is great for visiting the volcano and lava flow into the ocean. Overall, we had a fabulous stay and thoroughly enjoyed our Hawaiian vacation. ~Mahalo~
