We stayed at the Kalaekilohana for 3 days in January this year (2009) for my husband's birthday. We did the "triple stay n' play" offer, which allowed us to stay at the Kalaekilohana, Ka'awa Loa Plantation, and the Waianuhea B&B all on the Big Island over the course of a week and a half. Kenny and Kilohana, the owners of... more

We recently stayed at Kalaekilohana for our daughter's wedding. Kenny and Kilohana provide a warm, inviting, home environment that is truly in the spirit of "E komo mai. Nou ka hale." The rooms are spacious and luxurious, the food is absolutely delicious ("to live for") - fresh and much of it locally grown, the setting is beautiful and it offers... more

This is a B&B that creates an atmosphere that carries you away from the hustle and bustle. It is remote and provides the chance to get way. A feeling that is encouraged by the friendly hosts. more

Not being regulars on the B&B circuit, my wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the stylish but homey comfort and ambiance of Kalaekilona. A perfect location from which to explore the roads less traveled of this southern most spot of the US on the Big Island of Hawaii. Kilohana and Kenny are gracious hosts who create a relaxed and... more

Wonderful way to start our trip. We knew it was outside of the 'tourist box' to stay here, in the sense that it is surrounded by what Hawaii used to be and not just a re creation of that true spirit. A real and rare cultural experience on an Island that is slowly being assimilated. Take in the music. See... more

superb service, incredible breakfasts, perfect location to the volcano and beaches, restful, incredibly clean rooms, and delightful innkeepers who really provided the Hawaiian experience. I loved sitting on the lanai with a cup of coffee and a book and listening to the birds. Kilohana is an extraordinary artist in lei making, feather art and lauhala weavings. more

We arranged to stay at Kalaekilohana in part because of their arrangements with other B&B's around the island. It was great having the whole week's stay scheduled with three B&B's, but we only had to get in touch with one. We loved our stay with Kenny and Kilohana. The rooms were immaculate, the shower was HUGE! Kenny's breakfasts were amazing,... more

What a wonderful relaxing 3 days to the beginning of our Hawaiian vacation. My husband and I were warmly greeted by Kenny and Kilohana upon arrival. Our B&B accommodations exceeded our expectations. Built by Kenny and Kilohana; each adding their own personalities to every room of the home. Each evening our hosts and guests gathered on the lanai for refreshments,... more

We could not have picked a better place to stay for our first trip to the Island of Hawaii. Kenny and Kilohana are gracious hosts and made us feel at home the minute we arrived. It was very important to them that we enjoyed our visit. They took the time to sit with us when we arrived to ask what... more
