My wife and I stayed 4 days and loved the location, the food and the hospitality. Our room was comfortable and more than adequate. We used the the common fridge for our wine and some snacks. 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

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

The view at the Hale Kai is outstanding, we woke up to watch the sunrise from our lanai every morning as well as of whales in the distance and surfers right below us. We stayed in the Heritage Room. It was a good size room with a nice walk in shower and a comfortable bed. As others have said in... More

We stayed at Hale Kai Hawaii our first 4 days on the Hilo side of the Island and were very impressed! The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in besides our own, The suite was sweet with the sleeping quarters being dark and the sitting room being bright and light facing the east to watch the sunrise....

This was our first stop of four places around the island on a Christmas trip with five family members. We needed three rooms so this worked well for our budget and needs. It was cozy and homelike with a perfect location for our day trips. Ric and Maria were extremely friendly and welcoming and our son measured every other breakfast... More
