I had high hopes for the Paradise Suite after visiting their website and reading positive reviews from past guests. Somehow, our stay with Jim and Amy far exceeded even those lofty expectations! I couldn't have asked for a better experience on the Big Island!

Compared to other B&Bs of this quality, Hawaii Paradise Suite presents far and away the best value. The next closest thing costs at least $300 a night, and even then you'd have to share the property with other guests!

The rooms are beautifully decorated with high-quality and comfortable furniture! It took us no time at all to feel at home in the warm surrindoungs. The living area was welcoming with a comfortable couch and convenient A/V setup complete with a large projector screen perfect for retiring for the evening in our own personal movie theater. The bedroom was very spacious with a comfortable California King bed and the large private attached bathroom was always clean and fully stocked with all the linens. The property itself had plenty to offer with a quality swimming pool, horseshoes, and a small golf course.

And finally, the service was outstanding! Jim was painstakingly attentive from weeks before our arrival to the very last minute of our stay. He was always happy to share insights into the big island and had plenty of resources at the ready to help you plan your stay on the Big Island. Amy's breakfasts were the perfect start to our mornings. If there's anything at all we wanted done, Jim and Amy seemed ready to serve. I actually proposed to my fiancee during our stay at Hawaii Paradise Suite and Jim bent over backwards to help me plan.

I would not think of staying anywhere else upon my return to the Big Island!

We have stayed with Jim and Amy twice now, and I can honestly say they have the best bed and breakfast in Hawaii. We have stayed at many, and I mean many b&b,s and Hawaii Paradise Suite is the best by far!!!!!!! The others do not even come close. Jim and Amy know how to run a B&B, and they make sure your stay is an experience to cherish.
The facilities are second to none, the breakfast is awesome, try the Dim Sum, you will be hooked. The pool is so refreshing you will not want to get out of it. The grounds are incredible, I thought they were beautiful the first trip, they were even more beautiful this time. I can't wait till next time to see what they have done.
Your host's Jim and Amy are kind, honest, honorable, and want to make sure you enjoy yourselves. They go the extra mile and are happy to do so.
Do yourselves a huge favor and go stay with Jim and Amy at the Hawaii Paradise Suite, you will thank yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can go on for days and days about how wonderful the experience was but for me, the proof is in the pudding. Will I go back for a third time with them?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have not only found a wonderful place to stay, but, have found three new friends, Jim, Amy and Hunter.

My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. We were treated to a delicious breakfast each morning and could choose from a variety of international menu options. The suite was gorgeous and really took our breath away when we entered for the first time. Jim and his wife were both very warm throughout our stay, plus he offered a number of great options for places we could go while we were on the Big Island. The location is great for reaching the Volcanoes National Park as well as seeing the lava flow at night. Plus, there are numerous beaches, waterfalls, and places to hike in the area as well. I wish we could have stayed longer than our two nights. We definitely hope to return again soon!

My husband and I found Hawaii Paradise Suite the perfect place to stay in Hilo/Keaau.
The Starlight Suite and grounds were beautiful and immaculate. The pool was clean and inviting.Our hosts Jim and Amy Lee were friendly, gracious and made us feel welcome. They were prepared for our stay and offered everything we needed, including maps and sightseeing options. The international breakfasts served on the lanaii every morning were wonderful way to start the day! The rates are very reasonable.
We would definetly stay here again and recommend Hawaii Paradise Suite to anyone traveling to this area.

I'm a frequent visitor to the islands and this time I select a Bed & Breakfast accommodation instead of the hustle and bustle of a hotel environment. It was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation I ever encounter due to the open space and the peaceful surroundings. I really enjoy the morning walk down to the beach cliff and sitting outside in the patio listening to natural sounds at night. According to Jim, from Nov -March you can observe the Humpback Whales migration to the Hawaii Island each year from the beach cliff.
I was impressed with the outdoor/indoor amenities that were offered. The complete privacy of your lodging area such as mini library room with Internet access and the master bedroom with private bathroom separate from the entertainment room. The outdoor pool with a deck, a BBQ pit to provide a luncheon/dinner events for your guests and family, and the activities for miniature golf course/volleyball court/iron wood horseshoe pit.
During my stay Jim assisted me with purchasing a fresh catch 10 lb. Ahi Tuna from a roadside vendor for $2 a pound in the morning. We return to his place where we clean, fillet and marinate to steak size portion. That night we barbecue and enjoy a mini luau with soft Hawaiian music in the background.
Jim and Amy were perfect hostesses and they were able to anticipate the leisure pace that I was seeking. Jim provided a continuous positive interaction and we were able to discuss a wide range of subjects.
For those of you who are contemplating on relocating to Hawaii, Jim and his neighbors can provide an honest in depth prospective of fabricating a custom home or purchasing an existing home.
For those of you who are ballroom dancing enthusiast, Jim and Amy are members of the Big Island Ballroom Dancer Association & Hilo Bay Ballroom Dancer Club and you can be guest at their Friday night events.
I would not hesitate to stay here again. I highly recommend this Bed & Breakfast to singles, couples, and families. This Bed & Breakfast is equivalent to a personal weekend getaway home thus making it very affordable and the best value for your money.
