If you want to see lava flows and a quieter part of the island, this is a great place to spend time. We recently stayed there (April 2012) and were very pleased with our stay. Didier, the proprieter, is very friendly and helpful. He helped us with dinner suggestions, lava guides and much more. We loved our room, the house,... More

Great reviews on TripAdvisor so we stayed for two nights. Quite disappointed; not sure what others were raving about. Spent $360 for two nights for no cell service, no internet, no TV, and a shower outside. Breakfast was coffee with instant oatmeal packets on the counter. Pool was lined with some kind of rubber bladder that was torn in several... More

My partner and I spent a wonderful week at Absolute Paradise. We flew into Hilo and had a short 40 minute drive to the property. We drove past lava fields and lush tropical landscape to reach Absolute Paradise. The house is beautiful and inviting with warm colors and an open feel. We choose the pool side room that has a...

We spent 10 days in paradise, using it as a base to explore Big Island. 5 days of driving day trips and five days on the beach. If you can, don't miss Sunday's on the beach - the music and gathering of locals is a special treat. More

Really wanted to give 2.5 stars. Definitely not poor but did seem like a little below what you'd expect out of a Hawaii B&B--even if not all that expensive. There are definitely plusses to this place--Didier is incredibly sweet and willing to share information, tour books, snorkeling gear, etc. He gives great advice for places to go, restaurant recommendations and...

Absolute Paradise is basically a house in a residential neighborhood. Though a sliver of ocean is visible from the inn, a 5 minute walk to the coast is necessary to experience the amazing waves on the coast line on this part of the big island. The black sand beach near AP is really something special...it's nude, it's hippie, it's local... More

My husband and I are connected to our careers and our iPhones 24/7. Absolute Paradise proved to be just what we needed not only because of the sun, the hospitality and the accomidations, but because we couldn't reliably access the outside world without some effort The location at first felt a bit remote, but after 24 hours we realized how...

My partner and I just got back from a week-long trip to the Big Island. We spent two nights at Absolute Paradise B&B, and I definitely wish we could have stayed at least one more night. The house is big, clean, bright and very well furnished. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful...but not overbearing at all. He let us... More
