Our early February 2013 stay for two nights in the Pele suite was very comfortable, cozy, and clean. Great breakfast on the lanai overlooking the ocean made it difficult to leave for the day. Entertainment galore - whale watching and surfers below. The owners were out-of-town but the gentleman who filled in for them was very attentive, a good cook,... More

We loved staying at the Hale Kai B&B. The room was very comforable and spacious. We loved having a table and chairs inside and outside to watch the whales from. The breakfasts were so delicious, and the hospitality so welcoming. We enjoyed eating breakfast with the other guests who shared their Big Island experiences. I highly rrecommend this facility.

The common area was very convenient with utensils, glasses, info, fridge, microwave, etc. The grounds and pool are terrific. Its easy to get around... More

We stayed here for three nights in early March 2013 with another couple as part of a three week trip to Hawaii and wholeheartedly recommend this B&B which is situated in a quiet, residential area about 5 mins by car from Hilo centre. We were able to try three of the four rooms as we booked late so had to... More

The view sells this place, not the room. The rooms look out onto the Heilo Bay and the Pacific Ocean on the eastern side of the Island. Our room was clean. Things were broken and looked to have gone without repairs for some time. There are four rooms; we saw only one. The Host and Hostess were very friendly and... More

We had the pleasure of staying at Hale Kai Hawaii B & B in March 2013, and it was one of our favorite things about our trip to Hawaii! Ric and Maria were gracious hosts, helpful with sightseeing plans, and the food was out of this world. Whale breaching off of the patio was so fun to watch and the... More

I found this B & B online. Not knowing if everything you read on the internet is true, I wasn't sure what to expect. From the time we pulled into the driveway, until we left (3 ldays later) & pulled out of the driveway....this was one of the BEST places we stayed (3 islands, 4 places). Every morning we had... More

This B&B is a little pricey but well worth it. The property is lovely, the views spectacular and breakfasts are absolutely scrumptious! Our hosts, Rick & Maria were friendly and helpful. Everyone sits together at the breakfast table so there is a lot of information exchange and pleasant chat. It's a great opportunity to meet people from all over and... More

Excellent experience overall. Rooms are very clean and everyone has their own little patio. View is great, especially watching the surfers as we ate breakfast. For what you pay, rooms could be updated some- but theyre still nice and you wont spent much time in them anyway. No AC, so windows are open and you can hear everyone. We would... More
