My husband and I stayed at this B&B for three nights during our 2 week honeymoon on the islands of Hawaii. This was by far the best place we stayed at during our trip. Lonn is a great host; the breakfasts he prepares are even better than the fantastic reviews that were written. He serves breakfast and then comes out with his cup of coffee to check on you and see if you need any recommendations or help with your plans for the day. The grounds are very relaxing and secluded, but just ten minutes away from town when you do decide to head out and about. The rooms are large and each have their own private lanai. He grows his own Kona coffee, and we have since had him ship us some so that we can have a little bit of Hawaii back here at home every morning; delicious! We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat and hope to go back someday for an anniversary trip!

We had a wonderful stay at the B & B. Lonn was a wonderful host, magnificent cook, and a great guide to things we should see.

It is difficult to proclaim one B&B as the "best", because all have different fortes.
Hale Hualalai is "home away from home". The host, Lonn, a bachelor and retired cook, makes fantastic breakfast, and walks the extra mile to make sure they guest feel comfortable and at home.
What we liked:
- he has only two suites to rent, this is definitely not a conveyor belt type operation.
- What would you like to have for breakfast, and when? Great flexibility, no house rules shoved into your face as you arrive.
- Down to Earth, laidback, spontaneous Hawaiian style
- Good and accurate advice and route info to local food, beaches, sights, beyond what you can gleam from a tourbook.
- Quiet, spacious, clean rooms, comfortable bed, free parking, free high-speed internet
- Beach chairs and towels you can use during your stay.
- Introduction to growing your own Coffee - delicious!

There was nothing we did not like. It's worth mentioning that the B&B is about 10 minutes away from Kona on a winding road, so it is definitely not on the Beach or walking distance from restaurants. The surroundings are fairly rural, but the suite was great!

What a great place to stay. The island, the town, the B & B! Located above the heat of the beaches, it is a phenomenal place to sleep, cool down and to eat the "AWESOME" breakfasts! YUM! If you are looking for a B & B in the Kona area, you are done looking! This is the B & B you want. Lonn is an outstanding host and an excellent chef in our opinion. He has been on the island for a couple of decades and knows the island extremely well. The other B & B we experienced, the hostess was from PA and had been in HI for 4 months and the buffet was not very impressive. And the 100% homegrown Kona Coffee was a huge plus. My wife and I will return, no doubt.
