Living in Kona, sometimes you just want to go to do the other side of the Island; Honokaa, Hilo, Volcano. Ala Kai was a perfect option for 2 couples in their Aloha Suite, with 2 private bedrooms and a beautiful shared bathroom in a private side of the B&B. We had a lovely breakfast on their covered lanai with beautiful... More

We stayed at Ala Kai while visiting the Big Island. I wondered if the location would be too out of the way. It is located outside of Hilo at the end of the road on a bump out on the map. It was actually a great place to base our excursions from. Hilo town, Volcano National Park, the warm water... More

We stayed at the Ala Kai for 3 nights and were amazed at what a gem of a B & B it was. We could not believe that we were so fortunate to find such a wonderful place to stay not far from the volcano national park on Big Island. Most people tend to stay near Kona on the other... More

We returned recently from a 2 night stay at the Ala Kai and had a wonderful stay. Pat(especially) and Mary were most helpful in suggesting activities to do and where to eat. The rooms are very clean and nice size. Breakfast is ample and fresh. Snorkeling at the tide pools was good, but more fish can be observed at other... More

Every once in a while you are truly pleased overall with a place you find to go on vacation. We have stayed in Oahu, Kauai, Kona and in Hilo on previous trips to Hawaii. In the spring of 2007 we stayed at the Ala Kai B&B. When we returned to Hawaii for Christmas 2012 we made sure we came back... More

We have stayed at the Ala Kai twice, in 2010 and November 2012. Both times, the Ala Kai was a very pleasant place to stay. The pool there is great. Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast on the lanai overlooking the ocean. Rooms are clean, stocked with everything one would need, and the hosts are friendly and helpful. There... More

My wife and I visited the Big Island in July this year and stayed at the Ala Kai. What a magnificent experience it was! Pat and Mary were the most gracious hosts.....supplying us everyday with a delicious breakfast, travel ideas, snorkeling equipment, ice chests, etc. We have stayed at more than a few B&B's and the Ala Kai provided the...

We have had the most wonderful stay at Ala Kai. With my wife, two kids (3 and 6) and my dad we booked the cabin next to the house for 6 days in the end of August. With the queens in two bedrooms and a queen hide-a-bed sofa in the living room it really was the only choice we could... More

My wife and I stayed three nights in September and so glad we found this out of the way gem after having reservation issues with another Hilo area B&B. It is just a short ride outside of Hilo, but do use the GPS to find it. Close to Hilo but along the route to the Volcano National Park and closer... More
