“Great Introduction to the Aloha spirit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2007

person found this review helpful

This was our first visit to Hawaii and my wife and I can't think of a better start than to visit Big Island and stay at the 1st Class B&B. The accommodations were clean and very comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious, and the special touches like Hawaiian name placecards were a delightful addition to a wonderful experience. Delores was a great host and breakfast on the lanai was always a pleasure but she was very respectful of our privacy at other times. She was also very helpful planning our daily excursions and provided some interesting local and historical insights into our travels. When we visited some of the hotels we were thinking of staying at we realized how much better our experience was at 1st Class. The cottage was very comfortable and spacious and well-kept. You can't go wrong staying here.

“Lovely visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2007

My husband and I stayed 4 nights in the cottage and we truly spoiled on our vacation. Banana pancakes, waffles, omlettes, fresh fruit, hot coffee, and juices were served on various mornings and were all delicious. Dolores provided beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, coolers and lots of other beach equip. to make our vacation run smoother.

The B&B is in a very quiet and safe residential area with a great view of the ocean. We loved the cottage b/c it felt so private. There were so many nice things about the cottage-Dolores makes it feel like home with many small touches (you'll have to stay there to understand!) The bed was so comfortable after a long day kayaking. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to make a meal (no stove, but who wants to cook on vacation?) The entire cottage was pristine.

We fell in love with the Big Island and when we return, we will definitely book our room at 1st Class B&B! Say hello to Dolores from Chris & Amy!

“Wonderful stay!”

We stayed at 1st Class Bed & Breakfast for about a week for our honeymoon. The B&B is located about 10 minutes from the center of Kona, and has a very quiet, peaceful atmosphere. The cottage we stayed in was beautiful and spacious. It was also very clean and tidy. Dolores cooks you a wonderful breakfast - waffles, omelettes, pancakes, scrambled eggs, etc. - every morning. She was also very flexible and prepared breakfast early for our volcano tour and to catch our flight on the day we leave. She also had boogie boards, cooler boxes, snorkels, fins, beach mats, beach towels, etc., to use which really helped. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay with Dolores and if we ever come back to the Big Island again, we will definitely stay at 1st Class B&B.

“Nice place, great view, quiet but central location”

Nice, clean B&B run by an elderly woman in a quiet residential neighborhood about 900 feet in elevation above the town of Kailua-Kona. Quick drive into town for scuba, dining etc, but away from the noise and traffic.
Delores is nice, cooks a great breakfast, but is kind of inflexible when it comes to breakfast time, not wearing shoes in the rooms, etc. She seemed to be having some health issues in May and may not be able to run the B&B much longer.

“Paradise”

We have traveled throughout the county and have never found a place like “First Class B&B.” The rooms are spotless, the views are breath taking, the weather is perfect, and the breakfast is the best. Dolores is one of the nicest, friendliest person we have ever met. Our conversations over breakfast and coffee lasted hours. She is a pleasure to talk to. We truly made a new friend. From the time we arrived we knew that our stay here would be the best part of our trip. We are already planning our trip next year and plan to stay here the entire time.
