My partner and I were looking for some tropical downtime last November, and we found it at the Mahina Kai Bed and Breakfast. Joe's warmth and hospitality made us feel at home the minute we arrived. This was my second visit to the Mahina Kai and my partner's first. We both enjoyed our stay immensely. The property is so unique,... More

We stayed here ten years ago and finally made it back. The blue-tiled Japanese-style villa is showing its age in places, but we still had a near-perfect stay. Joe is a friendly and accommodating host, and the Hibiscus Suite provided a very relaxing escape. We had a firm king-size bed, a separate sitting area with views of the pounding surf... More

What can I say. After a long flight and a night drive up the coast, I walked up the steps to Mahina Kai and knew it was perfect. It's not a hotel. It's more a sanctuary to connect again. The rooms are all beautiful and all unique. Joe, the host, is warm and friendly and helpful and always there when... More

We heard about this place through word of mouth. This was our first visit to Mahina Kai and we had a lovely time. The room was extra comfortable (Hibiscus Suite!). Joe actually upgraded us to a nicer room than we were reserved for for a whole week. Super sweet. Joe makes you feel right at home. From a lovely breakfast,... More

This was my second visit to Mahina Kai and I once again had a fun, comfy, and overall great time. After spending the day hiking or at the beach, I loved returning to the understated elegance, comfort and cleanliness of this bamboo-laden B&B. This property is a true gem that has the feel of a sanctuary off the beaten "touristy"... More

Mahina Kai exceeded all of our expectations! My partner and I needed a getaway vacation and that's exactly what Mahina Kai provided. The setting is pure peace and quiet - especially the private pool and gorgeous grounds. The owners and staff pampered us with a delicious breakfast every morning, recommended the kind of local hot spots we were looking forn(restaurants,... More

The place has potential but it's a miss for the money. The place is dirty and rundown and for nearly $300 per night you don't get your bed made. On the other hand, the proprietor was warm, welcoming and very friendly. The property has infinite potential. The grounds are beautiful but not well kept. The pool too has potential but... More

Joe was great and his place is truly remarkable! My wife and I stayed in the hibiscus room and - what a find! The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom is outside! What a unique place and it was one of the highlights of our 1 month long island hopping honeymoon.

Kristin and I (Jenn) spent a whole week at Mahina Kai and did not want to leave. Mahina Kai is a home away from home and a unique experience all rolled into one. Joe is a wonderful host who starts your morning off right with great coffee, great food, and a warm welcome followed up with delightful conversation. He provides... More
