My wife and I visited Hilo during july 2004, and our stay at Hale Kai was key in a great vacation. Ric and Maria are great hosts, more like friends than business owners. Their local knowledge and willingness to share it with us was great. The Breakfast was incredible, and the location outstanding. I can think of no bad points to our stay in their home. I know where I will stay on my next visit to the Big Island.
