Absolute Paradise is basically a house in a residential neighborhood. Though a sliver of ocean is visible from the inn, a 5 minute walk to the coast is necessary to experience the amazing waves on the coast line on this part of the big island. The black sand beach near AP is really something special...it's nude, it's hippie, it's local... More

My husband and I are connected to our careers and our iPhones 24/7. Absolute Paradise proved to be just what we needed not only because of the sun, the hospitality and the accomidations, but because we couldn't reliably access the outside world without some effort The location at first felt a bit remote, but after 24 hours we realized how...

My partner and I just got back from a week-long trip to the Big Island. We spent two nights at Absolute Paradise B&B, and I definitely wish we could have stayed at least one more night. The house is big, clean, bright and very well furnished. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful...but not overbearing at all. He let us... More

If you want an escape from the hustle and bustle of life and want to experience truly local culture, visit this spectacular b&b. Didier (the host) greeted us and helped unpack the car, loaded with all we thought we'd need for 8 nights on our Big Island adventure. We were continually reminded of old travel wisdom, bring half of what... More

I very much enjoyed my stay at Absolutely Paradise. My visit to the Big Island was but a short one and I am jolly glad that I chose this part of the island. Yes, it is a bit out of the way, but the drive from Hilo was easy enough. The house was very comfortable and homely. I had the... More

Beautiful house in a nice private setting in our favourite part of Hawaii. Nice comfortable room which was made up for us daily. Help yourself breakfast whenever you are up and ready for it. Friendly and helpful host, Didier.......when we asked about snorkelling, he provided us with snorkelling equipment to borrow so we didn't have to buy r rent them.... More

My partner and I met up with friends and had three of the four rooms in the house. The fourth room was occupied by two great guys from OH, and all of us got along well. I only state this, as if you are here alone, it could be a very different experience for you. The house, 3 rooms in... More

I'd like to thank the reviewer for his very detailed review and particularly for bringing to my attention the problem with one of the shower-heads in the shared bathroom. I do not routinely test shower heads when cleaning and no other guests had mentioned the problem to me. It will be repaired ASAP. I'd like to take this opportunity to... More

This is a wonderful B&B in a beautiful part of the big island, especially if you're interested in see the flowing lava up close and personal. The black sand beach a five-minute walk away is also a fantastic place to unwind and meet new friends. The host is the best, showing us secret swimming holes and snorkeling spots we would... More
