We spent 3 nights at Waianuhea and didn't see how that experience could be topped, until we got to Hale Hualalai! For a fraction of the cost, we had a beautiful, QUIET room with separate sitting and kitchen area, first class bathroom with jacuzzi tub, and a private lanai overlooking the most amazingly beautiful scene. The house is only minutes from Kailua Kona and the beach-- but set high above the chaos in a tropical paradise: lush tropical forest, coffee trees (Lon grows and serves his own fabulous brew), fruit trees, I could go on and on. Lon is a fabulous host, but totally let us have our privacy. Oh, and the comments on his cooking are not exaggerated. Breakfast was AWESOME. We had a wonderful time on the Big Island, will certainly go back, and will ALWAYS stay at Hale Hualalai!!
