Honu Kai Bed & Breakfast

We had a wonderful time! Amy was so attentive with providing a delicious breakfast each day, making sure we were comfortable & provided us with items for our day time adventures! We loved the birds, the kitty, the pup and the chickens greeting us daily. It is a beautiful property and we hope to stay with you again in the future. The room was cozy, cool with A/C when needed, and we slept great. A truly special time!

The whole experience was incredibly peaceful and unique and away from the tourists, while still close to anything we wanted to do. The room was so clean and the bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in in years! Amy was our hostess and she was so sweet and thoughtful! Breakfast each morning was the best way to start our day of adventures. The whole property was well-appointed and gorgeous. Thanks for a very wonderful stay that was more unique and special than a hotel!

Honu Kai was absolutely perfect for us. Located only 10 mins from Kona and easy access to Palani Rd to drive north or to the volcanoes. As soon as we walked in we felt relaxed and at home. The lanai and gardens were stunning so many plants and even birds feeding in the morning. Our room was really beautiful, cosy and the best night's sleep in ages!! I loved the decor and relaxed vibe. Amy was the best host from the delicious healthy breakfasts to helpful advice on everything even handing coats and warm clothes for Mauna Kea. Would love to return!!

Wow! We rented all 4 rooms for 2 nights for our big family trip. Our MVC family wanted to stay longer, if you know the Marriott people you know this is a high compliment! Incredible service from my first inquiry call. Truly beyond compare. ||The grounds are a lush, tropical oasis; the cozy hot tub was just what we needed after a day of hiking; the tabletop firepit and incredible outdoor space made us not want to leave. ||Then the real star, our host Amy! Wow, my 17 year old son said it best, "She was more than awesome, she was a friend!" Truly. She greeted us with fresh coffee in the morning, gave us local tips and served us a beautiful and delicious breakfast. She even went above and beyond to help us with a quick airport trip when a rental wouldn't start.||Incredible and memorable stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Beautiful place, tucked away on the hill|Very lush and tropical resort. Everything is well kept and we really enjoyed the breakfast prepared (love the guava juice and coffee!!). Amy was a wonderful host. She’s welcoming and very generous when it comes to giving helpful tips and recommendations. She was able to accommodate our late check out which we greatly appreciate. Only thing to be aware of for future travelers: the room can be quite humid because the BnB is located on a hill and has elevation. Not a huge issue for us but just something we didn’t think of before coming. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend Honu Kai to any friends and family of ours who are visiting big island in the future!

We just recently went on vacation to the Big Island. We stayed at the Honu Kai B&B. It’s a nice little place. It’s not too far from the downtown area. There are nice trees and flowers surrounding you. It’s quiet and peaceful (except for the tree frogs at night). The breakfasts were good every morning. Amy, our host, was SO nice. She is very helpful and also gave us some good recommendations of things to do/places to go in the area. We stayed in the unit that has air conditioning, but we barely used it because at night it was cool. We either had it on low or just the fan function. We would stay there again if we go back to Kona.

If I could give Honu Kai ten stars I would! Everything from our gorgeous room to the peaceful vibes to the delicious breakfasts were perfection. Our host Amy had recommendations for us on beaches to visit and restaurants to eat at, and she was a gracious and friendly host. Honu Kai is only 10 minutes from downtown Kona and close to many attractions. We loved it!

We spent four nights at Hona Kai B&B, staying in the Mala Hale Bungalow. What a wonderful place! Amy, our host worked hard to assure we had a great time in Kona. The inn is located in a residential area uphill from Kona town, so it gets cooler temperatures and has none of the tourist bustle in town. Our room was comfortable and had a covered lanai where we chilled after adventures on the island. The room's kitchen was well-stocked, and beach gear was available to borrow. Breakfasts were excellent and freshly prepared. Hona Kai is a rare gem.
