I stay in B&Bs almost exclusively when I travel, and this place is the best example of why I choose B&Bs. We were there May 11 & 12, 2013. I generally avoid hotels because I dislike how impersonal - even clinical - the hotel experience can often be, with all the rooms looking just alike and the valuables literally bolted... More

We stayed at Ka'awa Loa April 16, 17,18th...what a great way to start our vacation. It is hard to tear yourself away from the lanai...it is the perfect place to enjoy the ocean view, enjoy their plantation grown coffee, enjoy the daybed for a lazy nap, and enjoy the company of other guests. There is also a great hottub which... More

Ka'awa Loa Plantation is beautiful and Michael and Greg could not be more welcoming, accommodating or hospitable. They shared so much of their knowledge about the area with us. Breakfast we great and we even grilled and cooked dinner one night for fun. Outdoor showers are heavenly! Next time we would probably book an ocean view room--but we were very... More

My wife and I stayed at Ka'awa from March 25-27, 2013. Michael and Greg were wonderful hosts. Our room was very nice. We could use the kitchen facilities to cook our meals if we wished. The wrap around lanai with the view of the grounds and the ocean in the distance was great. The wonderful breakfast that Michael cooked up... More

Words cannot describe just how wonderful this B&B is - definitely the most amazing place I have ever stayed - this is an experience not to be missed. The hosts are wonderful; they have all the information you need about the island and go above and beyond the call of duty for all guests. They help recommend and book activities,... More

It's been about 3 years since I stayed at Ka'awa Loa and I've been trying to figure out a way to return ever since! Both the house and the room were comfortable; I loved the outside shower. The breakfast was delicous and fresh, as was the homegrown Kona coffee. The hosts: amazing. And the location: loved being so close to... More

Had a fantastic time celebrating my friend's birthday. Three of us came - two stayed in the cottage across from the main house and one stayed in the main house. Loved outdoor lava shower! Cottage was small but cute and perfect for two people or a couple and one child. Has mini-kitchen, shower, and TV (main house rooms do not... More

Perfect in every way--from the professional yet FUN hosts, to the lovely rooms, to the dramatic ocean vistas, to the fabulous breakfasts, to the special touches that were everywhere. We are rejuvenated and will dream about our vacation for a long time. Will be back, hopefully with extended family, so we can share the special place that is Ka'awa Loa... More

Greg and Michael are the perfect hosts, who run a brilliant place. The home is stunning and the views and facilities are great. The outdoor hot tub with panoramic views of the sea are just perfect for a relaxing break. Michael makes and presents excellent breakfasts. Stay here to experience a slice if paradise.

Just stay here. That is all. If you need more info, here it is: 1) Greg and Michael are fantastic guys. They are amazing hosts and you couldn't ask for nicer people. 2) Their plantation is beautiful. The main house is open, sunny, immaculate, beautiful, and has the best front porch I've ever seen. 3) It's close to everything. We... More
