“Great!”

Here's my bias: Because I liked the Hosts so much I minimize the minuses and emphsize the positives. I enjoyed several short conversations with Michael and Susan. They are intelligent and delightful. The breakfasts were delicious and healthy. We arrived early in the day before standard check in time and checked out a litle late - no problem. Slept very well - good bed and quiet. Now there are four bedrooms, each with a new large, private bath that appears to be added on to the house. On the first night, we were the only ones occupying a room and it was dead quiet until morning when you could hear the birds through the open skylight. The second night there was someone in the adjacent room, and we could hear their conversation when they came in and then when the got up at 7 to go to work teaching at the school. If you've checked the reviews on the Lanai Hotel, there are lots of complaints about noise. We visited a friend at his Lanai home. Apparently, everything built by Castle and Cooke used the same type of construction, whether it is the Hotel Lanai, Dreams Come True, or my friend's house. All interior wall are 1" tounge and groove solid wood boards. They transmit sould very effectively. No sheetrock or plaster. I think you will get this construction wherever you go on Lanai unless you stay at the Four Seasons for 3-4X the price. That said, I would stay at Dreams Come True again in a heartbeat. First, you stand a good chance of having the place to yourself. Second, even if there is another occupant or two, it seems likely that they are going to be quieter than hotel full of people. Also you have backyard with table, chairs, barbecue and clothes line for beach things, along with very nice landscaping. There is a washer and dryer in the garage if you need it. I traveled without a laptop and used the B&B PC to check email. Michael said a wireless connection was available if I needed it. Finally, I should say that Lanai is worth a visit. It is different experience from Maui - it seemed a little less commercial and definitely less crowded. Seeing a dozen dolphins swim under me while snorkling was amazing. If you go, ask Susan about her experiences swimming with the dolphins.

“Dreams Do COme True!”

I was not sure what to expect, I had only learned about my mothers plans to visit Lanai a few days before. Hearing that it was a plantation home, I was expecting something big, old, impressive, with lots of wide open space surrounding. Not so much. Just a quaint, clean, sweet oasis after a long day of traveling. The Hunter family treated us with exceptional, genuine care; I am positive that the service at the Four Seasons wouldn't compare. My sleep that night was flawless, I awoke rested and rejuvenated and thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast and the company that came with it. My experience was exceptional and I would highly reccomend that you take the opportunity to visit Lanai and Dreams Come True!

Mike and Susan have a wonderful atmosphere @ their bed and breakfast. It is a relaxing and simple but very charming home, Many antiques from their journey through life fill this home with love. It is located in a very safe and clean area as is the whole island. The breakfast included in your stay is wonderful fresh coffe, home bread, WONDERFUL MUFFINS, fresh passion fruit jucie and much more!!!!! A place were you can sit on the front porch and read a book or rent a vehicle from the owners and site see the island. The best vaction experience a bed and breakfast we could EVER ASKED FOR!!!!

“Great place to stay - somewhere with character”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2009

Now beware - there's not much accommodation in Lanai at all - mainly 2 x Four Seasons hotels and a few B&Bs! Lanai is great - all the locals know each other so you can be guaranteed a friendly welcome wherever you are. This B&B was good for us, a family of 4 with 2 toddlers. We had an en suite room, I think there were 4 rooms in total - all nice rooms. Our room was slightly small given we had 2 travel cots but it had a very welcoming atmosphere, and was cosy. There is free internet and plasma screen in the communal area - we also had a large cable TV in our room. Breakfasts were fresh each morning, with the owners own fruit and great coffee. We had to supply our own high chair, which is understandable given the small business size. The other rooms were unoccupied during our 7 day stay so this may have made things more pleasurable for us.
Note that if you arrive by plane, Dreams Comes True is a drop-off point for the island shuttle bus (operated by the Four Seasons) - $10 for the family I think. Pickups from the Dollar rent-a-car one block from the B&B - bring your own car seats and get your own insurance - there's none provided by Dollar!

“A Great Place to Stay in Lanai City”

Aloha!, I've been here in Hawaii for the last 7 years and finally made my first trip to Lanai. I'm kicking myself for waiting for so long. I found Dreams Come True B&B mentioned tangentially by way of a review/ link in the Lanai Forum on this website and thought I would give back to the community. Bottomline up front: Dreams Come True is an excellent value and a great accomodation in Lanai City. The room was clean and comfortable, although spartan (I like spartan, actually. And that's because when I vacation I try not to spend much time in the room). The bed was spacious and super comfortable--I slept like a log...the skylight was charming and the bathroom jacuzzi tub was just the ticket after two days of beachcombing and some intense hiking. The free internet use meant I stowed my laptop --no need for it. The place kinda reminded me a bit of a nice Mom & Pop hotel I once stayed at in Germany. Anyway, breakfast was fun and filling and the coffee was excellent. The family that runs the B&B are polite, helpful, friendly, and flexible--they certainly treat you like a guest, but they don't fawn all over you or overdue it...I felt very at ease and they were helpful with advice and recommendations about what to do and see. I will definitely be back. Mahalo!
