Hale-Hoola B & B

Wonderful
Traveller Type: young couple
  : Really enjoyed our stay here. The host was kind and patient in giving us a lot of background on the area and places to visit. Breakfast was wonderful with fresh fruit, fresh coffee, delicious breads, etc. WiFi was good. The morning parade of birds, goats, cows, chickens, pigs, etc at the property, off the breakfast deck was always entertaining. Beach chairs were appreciated. The hosts really makes this place special.
  : The room was small but the private lanai really helped to add floor space. Not in walking distance to any beach or tourist destination but that meant it was quiet for sleeping.

  : Breakfast was delicious with gourmet coffee. The private lanai had a nice view of park lands and wildlife. We borrowed some of the snorkel gear that they provided for guests. The location was convenient for getting to the Captain Cook monument and two step snorkeling. Carl and his German Shepherd Rex were gracious hosts. We thought Hale-Hoola was a great value for staying near Kona.
  : I only have minor complaints, no dealbreakers. The property is right off the main highway and the driveway is narrow. Pay close attention to your GPS and signal your turn early. The tree frogs are noisy at night, but they are hard to avoid on the big island.

  : This place is a bit funky on the side of the mountain overlooking the ocean and cows with wonderful sunset views. You hear the frogs (coquis) at night and get a feel for the real Hawaii.There is nothing fancy here but if you want to get a feel for Hawaii away from the resorts this is it. Great breakfasts at 8 am. A small fridge to you can enjoy a cold beverage while watching the sunset. Also GREAT snorkeling at 2-step beach.
  : Dining was a bit of a chore. Although there are some roadside restaurants not far the food was fine but not great. We picked up some cheese and crackers to supplement our meals.

Disappointing

  : It was a quiet out-of-the-way location far out of the city! We chose it because of its location closer to the national park than staying in the Kona area. We loved that we could sit on the back lanai and see the ocean and have nature surrounding us completely. The sunsets are beautiful! The breakfast they make is absolutely amazing! My two teenage grand kids ate every bite off their plate every morning! The hosts are friendly and full of information to help you make your stay as wonderful as possible.
  : The only thing that I didn’t like was the parking, it was kind of tight for 3 cars.
