We stayed at the Orchid Inn October 16-23 in the Garden Suite . We loved the openness of the room and the fresh air however, the suite basically has no windows, just screens so she can probably hear just about everything, I think, wink wink. ;-) Otherwise the Inn has a 5 in our book. The grounds were beautiful. The... more

My spouse and I stayed in the Garden Suite for a couple of days and found the experience absolutely delightful. The photos on the website accurately depict this charming, private suite. The walls facing the ocean are either glass or net doors so we fell in love with the openness of the place. This feature allowed us to go to... more

I booked a two night stay at The Orchid Inn on October 21 & 22, 2008 in conjunction with my destination wedding. The home is absolutely stunning and the attention to detail is amazing. The owner was willing to personalize my visit and even provided breakfast (for a small fee) for members of our wedding party who were not guests... more

My wife, three children, and I stayed at the Orchid Inn for three nights during our visit to the Ford Ironman World Championship on October 11, 2008. Our younger son competed in the Ironman for the first time, and had a wonderful experience. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Inn. The proprietress, Ms. Darrelyn Gravett, was a warm,... more

Although I live in the beautiful state of Hawaii (on the island of Oahu) every once in awhile it's good to get away to one of the other islands. I chose The Big Island on my recent mini vacation and am so glad that I did! Not only did I have access to all of the fabulous sites The Big... more

Nancy and I spent 5 wonderful nights at The Orchid Inn. The view was superb, the suite refreshing and the conversation enjoyable. Darrelyn provided excellent sightseeing information and was a remarkable host (and a good scrabble player too!). We will definitely stay at The Orchid Inn on our next visit to the Big island.

Our stay at the Orchid Inn in Holualoa, Hawaii was absolutely delightful. Our room, the Zanzibar Suite, was appropriately decorated to carry out the African theme and very comfortable. We had our own private lanai overlooking gorgeous tropical gardens that surround the inn. The proprietress, Darrelyn Gravett, is very friendly and welcoming. She loves her island and enjoys suggesting nearby... more

The Orchid Inn invites you into another time and place...think lush, country-Hawaiian. If you’re looking for local flavor, a short winding ride up the Kona hillside from Kileua will put you there, in elegant style. The Inn sits back off a long alley-kind of driveway densely framed by coffee plants, beans dangling within arm’s reach. A lava-rocked gateway opens out... more

We only stayed one night because we only stayed one night on this side of the island. If we had it to do over we would spend all three nights in this lovely spot. The Inn is beautiful, very elegantly decorated. It is "tucked away" (do not try to find in the dark) and it is peaceful with a beautful... more
