I come from the mainland to work on big island often. This trip was nearly three weeks long! I'm always looking to try something different in lodging and was very impressed with the penthouse high up on the hill. The huge expanses of glass provide un-paralleled views sweeping across Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, down to the ocean 2,800' below.... More

The accommodations were wonderful, spacious room, well equipped with anything we needed. The view from the lanai was beautiful! It was an extremely relaxing environment. The host was very friendly, and helpful with wonderful suggestions for places to eat and recommendations for things to do, but definitely not "under foot." They provided a warm, welcoming environment that felt like home.... More

I live in the Kona area and drive all around the island about once a week because of my work. I made a reservation at the Belle Vue in Waimea. What a surprise! I stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and breathtaking beauty of the place. The suite that I rented was large and well appointed. Food... More

Excellent location, views and friendly hosts, but the the studio had a very musty smell and the breakfast in the fridge was ample but out of date. When we brought this to the attention of the host he apologised but could only replace the milk with another out of date container, saying that it usually lasts for a month after... More

Another trip to Belle Vue, and it is still great. Tremendous views of the coast, avodacoes and fruit from the garden, banana muffins, and lots of breakfast supplies. Handy to sea kayaking and great snorkeling. Dry side of island.

We spend two nights at the Belle Vue B&B. When we arrived a young man was waiting for us (well in fact he was waiting for his girlfriend...). After a simple "hello, thank you for staying with us", we are note sure that he put us in the good room but the place was great, with a huge bathroom, and... More

It was my first time to the Big Island and Waimea was my last stop before heading to Oahu. I stood at the Belle Vue and was given the penthouse due to an error made with my reservation. I could not believe what I got! I felt like a queen in a big palace! It was very big and spacious... More

We stopped here for one night, on our way to Pahoa. We were a little concerned, when we arrived as there was no one there to greet us. However, we left a message on the phone and then headed out for some scenic driving. (The lodging was supposed to be open but it was still locked--some mix-up.) After a wonderful... More

We had a short (1 night), but pleasant stay at the Belle Vue. As other reviews have mentioned the location and view are beautiful. We stayed in the suite which was quite spacious for two people and had the best shower. The host Viviane was friendly and attentive. We would definitely stay again. We also stayed at the Belle Vue...
