Hale Hualalai

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.

Liked: They take a personal approach to running a business instead of just making money. Handmade breakfasts using foods sources from their farm were a highlight. Both Ricky and his wife spent time just talking with us about their business, the farm, the history of the B&B. A wonderful experience! 10/10 recommended. It isn't a high rise, center of the action, fancy place but that made it exactly what we wanted.
Disliked: Wish we could have stayed longer!

Gracious hostesss, lovely fruit-filled breakfast

Liked: Quiet suburban home with large lot with stream access and tropical fruit trees
Disliked: Parking could be an issue for larger suvs

Very good

Liked: The breakfasts were fabulous. The host is an excellent cook and a lot of the food was ‘farm to table.’ The owners were friendly. Other writers have mentioned a parking difficulty, but to us it was completely fine. Our room had a lovely balcony overlooking the farm, the hills, and the ocean in the distance.
Disliked: Our plan was to stay out of Kona town to avoid the noises of the city. Unfortunately, the hosts played a radio, 24/7, onto the public patio which we could hear in our room.
