Aloha Junction Bed and Breakfast

The Aloha Junction B&B is located in Volcano Village just behind the Post Office noted for proximity to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park 1 mile away and restaurants in town. Guests also enjoy the 1930's old plantation structure providing five spaciousness rooms and electric blankets for those chilly nights in the rainforest. In addition free parking and well attended-to well-behaved children are welcome. Each room has it's own coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave but a "must have" is a complimentary breakfast including fresh-ground coffee, Papaya-banana boats along with sausages and toast or yogurt and boiled eggs. After spending time in this "Drive-in" style National Park, most people want to include to hike. The Park Headquarters have maps to include range of difficulty ~ but evidence shows even the strongest skeptics that Kilauea is still a very active volcano.

So clean and comfortable and full of Aloha!

We loved our stay at the Aloha Junction Bed and Breakfast! The location was perfect for our visit to Volcano National Park. We stayed for 2 nights in the Pele Suite which was a perfect fit for our family of 5 (two teens and a 9 year old.) We all enjoyed the breakfast (especially the sausages and fresh papaya) and the porch was a lovely place to sit and unwind after a busy day of hiking. The beds were super comfy and we really appreciated having 2 bathrooms with lovely showers. The house and grounds are beautiful and have a wonderful Hawaiian vibe. We highly recommend and would love to return someday!

This is a beautiful hotel located on the water in Molokai. The staff is very friendly and there is a great restaurant and bar on-site. The room was very clean and comfortable. The pool was very clean and we maintained. A great place to relax The only minor negative about the hotel is there is not really a beach at it, but there are several beaches very close by Would definitely come back here

The Hamakua Coast (Hawaii's 'green' side of the island) is the perfect place for an adventure vacation.

Amazing stay and property!

Reviewed By TarainMN

We had an amazing stay at this eco conscience guesthouse! If you want all the modern amenities of a high end hotel though, you may not enjoy the closeness of the rainforest and may not appreciate being off the grid. It was great feeling submerged in the rainforest and hearing all the noises of nature at night. I love that they are off the grid and I did not feel it was a sacrifice. They have Wi-Fi! We were there with friends, another couple (all in our 50's & 60's), and stayed in the guesthouse (not the cabana's). Our room was clean, as well as the common areas and the bathrooms. The breeze that came through was great and there are wonderful views . It was great meeting and speaking with other guests and the owners. I will return!

Oceanfront Bed and Breakfast in Hilo Hawaii

Most amazing ocean room

Reviewed By hollysD8643RR

Most amazing room ever Our room had a corner of windows right above the ocean. The endless sounds of the waves was amazing. I don’t think I will ever sleep right above waves like this again. Easy location in Hilo. I would pick that room again. Nice breakfast. Nice hosts. I We used their snorkeling equipment.

This place is ancient. It’s noisy and small and needs updating. That being said, the people are nice, security guard was fun and vigilant (we never felt unsafe) and it was clean. Won’t be staying again.

Magical holistic retreat in South Kona

Reviewed By kristinw435

Other reviews give a good idea of the special experience you will enjoy at the Dragonfly Ranch so I won't elaborate on those points. What was especially wonderful for me were: Art and spiritual reminders throughout the property, a feast for the eyes and soul. Awesome views down the Kona slope to the ocean. Nurturing staff. Barbara with her healing offerings. Deep interactions with the other guests. So many drawn to this island, this part of the island, and this place seeking healing, seeking something different in their lives. The Dragonfly Ranch experience seems to open people up to others and to other possibilities in themselves. Truly a magical place! This was my second stay, the first eight years ago when they presented me with a cake and mini-celebration for my birthday. I stayed in the Writer's Studio last time, the Dolphin room this visit. The Dolphin room was a bit closer to nature with the bath on the deck, shielded from view of course. If you want to get closer to the people who actually live on Hawaii, and understand why, this is the place!

Wailuku Guesthouse

Wailuku Guesthouse is a clean, affordable accommodation on the beautiful island of Maui. Centrally located with a saltwater pool with waterfalls, barbeque, cable TV and air conditioning,beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear, coolers for packing great lunches and chilly drinks and free use of the Maui Revealed Guide Book. The house dates back to the early 1900's as a plantation home. Then it was used as officer's quarter's in 1945. The current owners have done many renovations and the rooms are kept spotlessly clean. It offers free wi-fi and parking for all guests.

Another Fantastic Stay

Reviewed By NextCenturySean

I have stayed many times at the Wailuku Guesthouse and each time is another wonderful experience. It really does feel like a home away from home now. The hosts are wonderful, the other guests have always been great to meet, and the housekeeping staff (Kimberly and Haukea) keep things in tip top shape. You can't beat the pool and the best parts of Wailuku town are just a few blocks away. And it's a short drive to several nearby beaches. This is still one of my favorite places to stay when visiting Maui.

Disappointing……..

Reviewed By Wayne_Cowan

We have been staying at the Manoa Valley Inn on our last several visits to Hawaii. Always at the beginning of our vacation to recover from long flights in a tranquil atmosphere away from the big hotels of Waikiki. Having not visited Hawaii for a couple of years we were looking forward to our first stop. Unfortunately, it’s quite apparent that the Inn has not fared well from Covid. There is a fine line between being madly eclectic ( & eccentric !) and just shabby & run-down. Sadly, the latter description is now most apt. The beautiful quiet & lush gardens are now totally overgrown, uncared for & virtually impossible to walk through. All views of Waikiki now gone. The outdoor breakfast area ( previously so quaint, welcoming & peaceful) is now a cluttered mess with various odd objects on the ‘veranda’. Frankly, a more unappetizing place to eat I’ve yet to find. Previously the buffet was full of fresh fruits, drinks, coffee etc. - sadly no longer. The place has a feeling of decay. Our room was really odd & shabby. A bathroom that we both hit our heads several times upon entering & a bath tub that was quite fearful ( at an angle supported by some wooden planks). My wife refused to use it. Seems also that the Inn is using the lovely areas we used to sit in with a glass of wine to watch the sun go down ( the 2nd floor rotunda area) as some sort of office & other areas as a massage business. Most odd & frankly, weird. This place now needs serious renovation- much tender , loving care ( & money ) is required. If that happens - we’ll be back - otherwise, sadly, we won’t be returning.

Hilltop Legacy

The Hilltop Legacy is a beautiful Hilo vacation rental conveniently located in downtown Hilo Bay. The Hilltop Legacy Vacation Rental could not be in a better location for your exciting Hilo Vacation. The Hilltop Legacy is located in Hilo is just a short 5 minute walk to the many shops, restaurants and museums that downtown Hilo has to offer. Although the Hilltop Legacy is so close to downtown Hilo Bay, You still have the amazing privacy and views that you can't find at any of the hotels in Hilo. Unlike many of the Hilo hotels, this vacation rental truly offers all the conveniences of being in town while at the same time having the relaxing and peaceful country atmosphere.

Great Price

Mixed Bag

Reviewed By WH799

Cynthia offered us two rooms on short notice after our booked accommodation let us down. We staid in two small rooms next to the car port - dark and very small for four people with only a shared outdoor bathroom that was not clean (we mostly used the 1st floor shared bathroom in the house instead). We appreciate her helpfulness, but she massively overcharged us taking advantage of our situation. Parking in the driveway is very tight - but there are more spaces nearby (about 100m away).
