I had the chance to stay at the Aloha Bed & Breakfast during the weekend of August 28. My mother. teenage daughter and myself joined my brother and his fiance for their wedding and my sister to renew her vows to her husband of more than 30 years. I loved the owners and found them to be personable and very caring and made sure that everyone's stay there was everything we hoped it to be. Having lived in Hawaii for many years, I didn't think I would find something so close to what it is was like living there, but I have. The house inside and out was very spacious and airy and we all had plenty of room to get ready for the weddings. The grounds of the estate were beautiful with a wonderful waterfall and pond along with the lanai where the actual ceremony took place was perfect. It was a beautiful view everywhere you looked. The dinner that evening and the breakfast the morning were very tasty and was a welcome treat. I was lucky enough to be in the King Kamehameha room with the huge bed that you have to use a step to get into. I slept so sound and comfortably that I didn't move all night until pre-dawn when I woke to an almost fairy tale room. There was a gentle morning breeze fluttering the canopy on my bed. We will most definitely stay there again for our family reunion and as many times as we can in between.

I stayed at the Aloha B&B for my brothers wedding and it was amazing!!! The house, decks and surrounding grounds were absolutly perfect. The host couple did his reception and the food was exceptional as well as the breakfast the next morning. I felt like royalty and any request I had was graciously done. They are very unintrusive, accomodating, and really try to make sure you have a wonderful time. I really can't say enough wonderful things and look forward to going there again soon.

I found the Aloha B&B online when searching for wedding venues that were local, and potentially affordable. When I contacted the owner she seemed nice and quoted me 845 for a wedding and we set up an appointment to view the place. We fell in love with the venue, and were shocked to find out there were additional fees (venue rental fee 1000, room rental for each night 845, set up fee 350 etc.). We decided this must be standard (first mistake) and decided to do a deposit for our wedding the next day. Over the course of planning for the wedding the owner didn't return phone calls, no showed to scheduled appointments to discuss menu TWICE, and when we were discussing food costs she quoted us the top price she would charge for a meal which would be expensive steak or seafood and told us our meal wouldn't be that price at all but lower. When we were finally able to pin her down to discuss a menu, she again told us our meal would cost less than originally quoted. When she finally got back to us (two weeks later) the price was exactly the top cost of meals. After a lot of haggling, we just settled and paid the higher price because we were now one month away from our wedding and had no other option. The owner ceased responding to emails alltogether, and when we arrived at the venue the night before the wedding there was no warm reception from the main owner, but her husband was very kind. The rooms were not cleaned well (spiders, and hair from the prior guests in the bathroom), and when my bridesmaids went to check into their rooms the beds hadn't been made (still not sure if they got clean sheets or not.) My family decorated the venue while the wedding party got ready and got delayed by the venue owner not wanting table cloths put out on the tables (the only reason to rent the rooms the night before was to get the venue ready in the morning instead of check in time at 3pm.) The food was out already when the ceremony ended, and my new husband and I led the line to eat. I was shocked to find out that over half the agreed upon menu was not correct. She had charged us 30 dollars per person for Costco Rolls, Ceaser salad from costco, a pasta salad with italian dressing, no sauce for the now very cold chicken cordon bleu, no cherries (only request) for the fruit tray, and mushrooms covering the pork. Simple recipes for the salad, pasta, sauce were given and agreed to. The owner didn't bother to warn us she had made changes, nor did she ensure there were no food allergies. We were upset, but ate what was provided as it was too late and the guests were eating. I asked repeatedly for a bill itemized prior to the wedding (months in advance), and again when I arrived at the venue and was turned away. When we finally got the bill (After the wedding was over) the owner still hadn't commended on her switch-a-roo.
In the end, our wedding was beautiful, the setting was pristine, but I would never recommend this place to a bride to be or casual traveler. The "Jacuzzi" is a bathtub not a jetted bath, the floors weren't cleaned in the dining area or bathrooms, and the owner was innapropriate the majority of the time. Please save yourself the trouble of dealing with this place.

My husband finally got two consecutive nights off of work (after trying for 2 years) so we could use the gift certificate our friends got us for a wedding gift. When we called to work out a weekend with Lalaine (the owner), she would only book us on "off" weekends - not at all during May, June, or July because there might be a wedding and certainly not on Valentine's Day weekend. When we arrived at 3 pm (the time she told us she would be there waiting to greet us), there was only one housekeeper there who was surprised at our arrival. The whole place was in disarray with cleaning supplies and mops and brooms and toilet paper astrewn the floor. Magazines were just thrown on the coffee tables, and there were dead insects on the window sills! There were also dead leaves all over the kitchen floor, and the blinds and the screen were slashed and broken in our room. The heat wasn't on so it was ice cold, we weren't given a key so our belongings were unprotected while we were out getting dinner, and when we returned the lights lining the very steep staircase down to the cabana were not on. We could have broken our necks traying to navigate to the building in the pitch blackness. They knew for over a week that we were arriving.

We left before the night was over, and I have a feeling we will never get an apology phone call, a refund, or even the gift certifcate back! DO NOT STAY HERE! I know that some people have left positive reviews, but also keep in mind that there are negative reviews... horrible ones. And if you want to take a chance on ruining a perfectly good vacation, then book here. But if not, stay somewhere without such conflicting reviews!!!!!!!!!
