This was our favorite of the 10 B&Bs we stayed in during a 5-week trip in Hawaii. For the same price we had a little apartment instead of just a room. We found it pleasantly decorated, clean and functional. We stayed in the Palm Suite, the smallest and least expensive, but from reading other reviews it sounds the most pleasant.... More

Hale Ho'onanea ("House of Relation") sits just off hwy270 in the drier, North Kohala region of the Big Island. It is easy to find (only one right turn off the HWY270 if coming from Kona, about 45min-1hr drive). The road winds up the hillside above the ocean to 900 ft elevation (2wheel drive is fine). The B&B has 3 rooms,... More

The Hale Ho'onanea has been perfectly named. From the lanai of the Bamboo suite we have enjoyed the peace and relaxation found in watching the world come awake by day, or, by night, see it go quiet beneath a blanket of endless stars. This is a haven to slow the pace of a vacation yet it is close to great... More

Although I could see that the Bamboo Suite was at one time a nice place, and some effort was made for the sake of appearances, it was simply a veneer of cleanliness over this dilapidated and unkempt suite. The first thing we noticed when we walked in were the beautiful floors and furnishings; then we were hit with some kind... More

This B&B was the 2nd place we stayed on our Hawaiian vacation and it was markedly different from the first. Melanie was very friendly and the Bamboo Suite was very well appointed. The kitchen made it easy for us to prepare meals in and save money from eating out. Melanie also offered the use of a large selection of beach... More

Located in the midst of all the best things to see on the Big Island and off the beaten tourist path, this B and B provides the space and privacy of a small condo with a friendly host who strikes just the right balance of helpfulness and respecting your privacy - plus she provides a delicious - and more than...

We stayed in the Tranquility suite, which is only tranquil if the room above (Bamboo room from memory) is empty. During our 3 night stay it was not and the early morning noise was at times invasive.Our room was well set out, fully equipped and the bed extremely comfortable. Breakfasts were generally too calorific for our requirements. The "lanai" was... More

Melanie and Bruce are gracious hosts who can share the sunset on your lanei, or leave you in peace as you enjoy the tranquility and beauty of their wonderful place. They follow your lead as to what you need, whether it be attentiveness or being left alone. Their continental breakfasts (don't pass up the fresh sweet-breads each day) are on... More
