Hale Hualalai

We will definitely be back,...

Liked: The room was large and the private lani was great. I had a delicious breakfast the fist morning with a great cup of coffee.
Disliked: The driveway was over grown with brush and the parking space was tight.

We enjoyed Hale Hualalai immensely!!!!!!

Liked: The room, the view, the aura was exceptional!! The breakfast was also awesome! Owners Ricky and Irina were very nice and friendly as well.
Disliked: Because of our ages (in our mid-70's), we had difficulties with how low all of the room's furniture was to the ground.

I cannot speak more highly...

Liked: Very idilic, peaceful location with an incredible view. The hosts (Ricky and Irina) were so kind and friendly. I really enjoyed the morning breakfasts on the Lanai (porch). I plan to come back for sure.
Disliked: Not a thing to dislike.

Exceptional

Liked: The best breakfast ever :)
Disliked: Nothing

Restful comfortable stay, amazing breakfast!

Liked: The breakfast is amazing! Beautiful location in the hills of Kona.
Disliked: This wasn't a dislike but people should be aware of the steep driveway and rent a car appropriate for the hills!

A tranquil experience.

Liked: Lots of animals. Good ecosystem and rich vegetation. Geckos are cute; cats, chickens, cows. One specific chicken would come up to the property and lay eggs on a particular spot. Eggs look healthy and huge :D Lots of fruit trees. Owners are good people with great hospitality and nice communications. Rooms are clean, spacious, with a nice patio. beds are sooo comfortable. (The combination of sheets, comforters and mattress is something my friend and I really liked.) Weather is pleasant, view is amazing. fruits and breakfast are delicious.
Disliked: None.

Wonderful hosts, comfortable rooms, conveniently-located.

Liked: This is a beautiful property, very large, clean, comfortable room with stunning views, delicious breakfasts, and incredibly friendly, knowledgeable hosts. Highly recommended!

Host Ricky was very personable...

Liked: Breakfasts were fantastic. We had delicious omelets with fruit the first morning and delectable guava french toast with guava syrup and coconut topping the second morning. Ricky has been a chef and alternates sweet and savory breakfasts. We enjoyed eating on the lanai and having wonderful long conversations with Ricky on many Hawaiian topics. Our room was spacious and had its own balcony. Out of 4 places we stayed at during our visit to the big island, this was our favorite.
Disliked: The approach to the location is steep and parking tight, but it was manageable. This would not keep us from staying here again when we return to the big island.
