Let's start off by saying the garden was nice, could be up kept a little better, but still beautiful. The garden is probably why I give this place an extra star. Went to a buffet here that was supposed to start at 11, didn't open until after 1130. The lady in the gift shop was working really hard though, because guests kept pouring in. The staff were walking around and yelling throughout the building while getting ready for the buffet. It was really unprofessional. The food was decent, but the dessert looked like left over cake from the night before. They kept saying they were running late because of a party they had, and that people had called in sick, which I thought was tmi. Another thing is when we called to make reservations we were told we didn't need them, then when we got there the lady told us we were lucky because there was one more table that wasn't reserved that could fit our party of 6... Just need to work on management and I think this property/business could be so much better.

The gardens are neat. They're a little back yard-y and still tatty in places, but have some really cool specimens and are enjoyable for strolling. There's a shady tunnel full of orchids, some very interesting trees, and manicured expanses of lawn, which make a very pleasant overall experience. You can learn a bit about the different plants and trees via some informational placards, but I suspect a guided tour would be much more informative. The specimen labeling isn't consistent. The gift shop is kinda goofy, but they do have frozen novelties and cold soda, which is nice on a warm day. There's an assortment of jewelry and other random stuff, not especially related to the garden itself. If you visit on a tour package, they might have a buffet luncheon set up for you. Not amazing, but they have thoughtfully included a variety of choices for folks with diet limitations, which is nice. Bathrooms are clean and capacious. NOTE: if you want a really top-flight garden to tour, you might check out the Allerton & McBryde Gardens (National Botanical Garden) on Kauai.

We had a going away party for my mother in law and the food was great and we had a good time walking the gardens. That being said, the management for this place is by far THE WORST customer service I have ever personally dealt with. They made us pay upfront even though we weren't sure how many guests we would have, they said they would refund the difference if we over paid. We counted up all our guests and only 22 of the 30 people we invited came. They now refuse to refund the $130 difference they owe us. It has been 3 weeks and Susan who answers the phone is rude, condescending and has a complete lack of respect for her customers. You will be made to feel as though you have come to steal, when all you want is a nice lunch with family and friends. I would tell anyone who considers eating here to GO ELSEWHERE. Major management issues!!!!

Well..I haven't gone into the gardens because you need to pay for US $5.00 for admission ticket if you DO NOT purchase the meal from the cafe. I just DONT like the manager over there, Her name is Susan if I'm still remember, we joined the tour to go here, but you can have a choice whether you buy the lunch or not, and when I talk to this manager, Susan, I said I just paid the lunch for my friend, and I will not having lunch here. She told me if you do not buy lunch here, you can't sit here, and you have to wait outside, and she told me i have to buy the US. $5.00 ticket for entry the garden. I just DON'T like her altitude, I know that's her job, but can she talk to customer softly and more respect to her customer. My tour guide also does not like her altitude. Since she treated all her customers isn't that friendly. We are Chinese, and I hope this is not the main reason to cause this issue. If susan changes her behavior alittle bit, that will be alot more better.

Saw this botanical garden online, and decided to drop in on our way to the volcano. It was fantastic! The grounds are large but easy to navigate. The 80 year old bamboo forest was thick and impressive. The cacao trees, and Meme apples had immense and colorful fruit. Clearly they are still working on the restoration, several of their fish ponds and waterfalls were under construction. One good sign is that the orchid pavilion is epic, some of those plants are huge! We ran into the owner, he's the former cook from 25 years ago, and he's working hard to bring the place back to its prime after 2 years of neglect. He said they are finishing up the Hawaiian pond next weekend, and the placards for all the trees will arrive soon. Entrance fee is only $5 and definitely worth it.

Oh dear. I want to write to the Big Island Revealed team and tell them they should remove this from the book. Maybe this used to be worth stopping in, but when we were there in July 2011 the garden looked pretty pathetic. Fortunately we didn't have to pay the admission fee because a family was setting up for a wedding and said they didn't mind if we walked through. That was good because otherwise we would've demanded a refund. Go to the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden if you want to see a lovely garden.
