Pros:

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!

Pros:

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
Pros:

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

Pros:

Lovely property with amazing view. Rooms are elegant and comfortable. Onsite manager was very accommodating with excellent attention to detail. Things feel apart for me with the evening events. Chefs didn't track allergy notifications for me or other guests at the time, and I felt like the owners only invested time in individuals that they could relate to. For the rate, they need to be more equally inclusive.

Pros:

Wow wow wow!!! The description doesn't do it justice, Nothing less than laying your own eyes on it will do! This place is a locals staycation dream and for me and my partner (first time big Island visitors) it was PARADISE! The wonderful people who run the property do an amazing job of making it an experience to remember. We Enjoyed endless fun on their private trail munched on countless fruits some we've never tried and were cut up and served special for us ❤️❤️❤️❤️. There's so much wildlife to boot and On our very last morning walking back up the trail we got to see DOLPHINS! This place is nothing short of spectacular. Full disclaimer if you don't like the sounds of the jungle don't visit the jungle. Cannot wait to come back they definitely deserve TEN BIG BIG Stars

Pros:

Beautiful view and property with a nice walk to the rock beach. Room is very nice. Water didn't work for one of the evenings which was unfortunate as the shower and bath were part of why we selected this location. Staff was as quick to fix it as they could... unfortunately running out of water is not an easy fix. I appreciate them responding quickly but not having running water for part of the stay knocks it down a bit.
