The staff (Val) were excellent! The kitchen staff (chef, mixologist) and the 7-course meal were also amazing. The rooms, grounds and general locale was stunning. My only complaint is that the rooms are not adequately sound proofed. I could hear the TV from next door or the room above which affected my sleep.

A Great Getaway

* It is so peaceful and quiet. The ocean can be heard, but is not overwhelming from loud crashing waves. * The chef prepared evening meal is awesome (7-courses)! * We are animal lovers, so we enjoyed the company of the resident dogs and cat. * We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, red light sauna, and the cold bath. * The breakfast was very good. We had special quiche (egg bites) prepared without dairy. Excellent! We would definitely stay here again!!!!

This hidden gem along the countryside coastline offers an experience akin to 5-star accommodations with a charming B&B vibe. The staff is exceptional, going above and beyond by arranging a cake from a local bakery and a handmade lei for my husband’s birthday. They even provided us with fresh and locally sourced snacks for our early mornings when we couldn’t make breakfast. The food is outstanding! The Friday night chef tasting and Saturday BBQ surpassed any local restaurants and offerings from larger resorts on other islands. The personalized, attentive chef boasts a creative palate and beautiful plating. Our room was clean, safe, and comfortable, with stunning ocean views, and the property grounds feature a peaceful garden and a jungle walkway to the water. Relaxing, laid-back, with upscale touches and high-quality food, this is the perfect Hawaiian getaway! A must-stay on the Big Island! The amazing location is enhanced by the personalized touches of the attentive and caring staff. Can’t wait to return!

Small boutique hotel, only about 8 (nice) rooms. Ocean sunrise views. Nice dinner included 3 nights per week. Infinity pool. Accommodating staff. About 15 minutes from Hilo but otherwise nothing much in the immediate area. No swimming beach but you can walk down to the coast to watch the waves. Very quiet, but we were the only guests the week we visited.

Nice stay and at the same time way too expensive

It was a nice stay, very different and private. We loved the room and the view, saw dolphins from the porch and enjoyed the trail down to the beach and a very nice dinner on 1 evening. So, you will have a good time there when you book it. Downer I need to mention is the price overall. It’s way to expensive for what you get, directly on the freeway, dinner only Tue/Fr and Sat and a minimal breakfast is included. You need to drive to local stores for the rest, which is fine but not convenient. We enjoyed it, however this
