we stayed at diver dan's for our honeymoon. huge mistake! at least i learned to never book 10 days at one place without seeing it first (or meeting the owner in this case). 1) of the least significance, this b&b is around 20 minutes away from restaurants, and beaches were also driving distances. 2) dan was always around, always ranting.... more

Our 8 day stay with Diver Dan was PERFECT. My husband and I were delighted to stay in his beautiful home and he was an incredibly gracious host. He immediately made us feel so welcome, relaxed and comfortable that we felt like we were long time friends invited to visit him in his home. The B&B is immaculate and his... more

I was really expecting good things while on the big island with my wife. Out of all the bed and breakfasts we thought this one was atrocious in that the owner was surly and direspectful. The rooms were a little small and not particularly redeeming. Both my wife and I were shocked at how unprofessionally this place was run. The... more

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Diver Dan's B&B. The accomodations are very comfortable and located on a beautiful property. 'Diver Dan' definitely knows the Island , referring us to excellent restaurants and diving sites. We will hopefully be returning sometime during the Christmas Holidays. more

Over the past few years I have always stayed at Diver Dan's when I wanted to go and visit the Big Island from Maui. Now that I am now in California, I will still stay with Dan when I return there. I just recently stayed with Dan and, once again, had a great time. Dan's place is beautiful and always... more

A few years back, my sister and niece came out to visit me in Honolulu and we decided we'd like to see the big island but not get sucked into the "big resort" trap. we found diver dans and thought, it'll be great to stay with a "local" who knows the island and the meaning of true aloha spirit... ha,... more

The web page is deceptive. From the web pictures, it appears that the property is very close to the beach, but nothig like it. It is as far from the beach as any other place south of Kona. Beyond the deception, here are detailed reasons why you should not stay there. 1) Dan charges a lot, but is a cheap... more

After reading the other posted reviews. I can understand both the one star and 5 star reviews. I had a 5 star experience one day and the balance was a 1. Dan place is spectacular. Dan on the other hand can be moody and if you get him upset (ie step into the kitchen), look out. It is not worth... more

My husband and I spent five nights (12/29/06-1/3/07) at "Diver Dan's B&B" and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The location is far enough outside Kailua-Kona that it feels secluded, but within a 1/2 hour drive if you occasionally feel like hanging out with all the other tourists crowding Kona. It's fairly convenient to the scuba diving operations in Keahou... more
