Tv is tiny and they need to check remote operation. Otherwise it’s a nice location. ##### Sherri S.

The room was quite spacious, the bed was very comfortable, the breakfast was delicious. We loved the sunrise wake ups each morning and falling asleep to the ocean waves and salt breeze. The tropical vibes of all the floral and greenery around the place helped make it more and more like paradise found! We only stayed a couple of days because we opted to try both sides of the island for the different "vibes" but we were actually disappointed to leave and try something else because we knew it couldn't be "better"!!! It was nice to stay somewhere without the touristy feel. We highly recommend and would for sure return for another stay!!!!!!!!!

Very close to Hilo town center but right on the water with beautiful tropical scenery. We enjoyed waking up to see dolphins swimming off shore. The one downside would be that the room would get a bit hot at night because there isn't A/C, and wasn't much of a breeze coming in from the window. ##### Ivy M.

The location was ideal for our needs. Property is well kept and the rooms are very clean and neat. The only thing I would like to see is air conditioning. The ocean breeze is nice, but without cross ventilation, (a second window) the room can get stuffy. ##### Steven D.

Reviewer Comments: My husband and I stayed in the Moana room for two nights. I loved the fresh beachy decor of the room and everything was extremely clean. We enjoyed the breakfast left for us every morning of fruit, hard boiled eggs, yogurt and muffins. The views from our room were breathtaking! On New Year's Eve we could see fireworks going off all around the bay. During the day we were able to watch the surfers down below.The property managers were very helpful and friendly. I loved everything about this vacation rental and would highly recommend it. ##### Sarah W.

I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I apologize for the eye roll inducing Review Title...We had a fantastic stay at Hale Kai Suites. The Moana Room was lovely! The views were unbeatable! The pool was refreshing and the hot tub (and the view of Hilo from it) were luxury!! The in room breakfast was perfect, especially the Papaya on the 2nd day!! Honolii was "home away from home" through my childhood and it was wonderful to get to experience a stay on this road, with these views, one more time. My only issue was there were some problems with Hot Water. It would occasionally take a long time to warm up (15+ min) but this was not always.

Reviewer Comments: The guesthouse is located just 5-10 minutes north of Hilo, depending on traffic (morning rush into town will take longer). The views out of Hilo Bay are amazing. It is whale season and every morning we saw dozens of them out in the bay.Our room (Moana room) was clean but basic. We had a microwave, fridge, toaster, and coffee maker. Fruit and muffins provided.Not for people with mobility issues as there are steps down and back up to get in and out of the rooms. The driveway is also steep and it can be a challenge to get your vehicle out. The left turn onto the main road to Hilo can be tough as well during heavy traffic and at night with low visibiility.Overall, great place to stay during a visit to Hilo. ##### Adam S.

I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: No air conditioning which we knew, but room very muggy. Lacked privacy. We had to pull heavy drapes across our screen door for privacy therefore blocking any air flow. Room was dark. Asked for ice and we were told not part of the contract. Had to buy our own. Nice view. Difficult to drag luggage into room ... have to go down a set of stairs and then up. Parking available but very tight. ##### William W. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Jenna K. 20 Jan 2024 #### Great location, bad bed Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

Reviewer Comments: The location here is absolutely gorgeous! The property is set on a hill that overlooks the ocean, where whales frequent! We were able to see whales right from the patio area in front of our room! The property has no AC, which we anticipated, but the only way to get air in the room is by leaving the screen slider open, with no way to lock it, which made me a little uneasy. The room would get very warm during the day, but thankfully, it cooled off fairly quickly once said door was open. The room was super cute & we loved the decorations, but the mattress and pillows were \*awful.\* It felt like we were sleeping on cement it was so firm (and the pillows were the same). They also provided a tasty breakfast each morning, which we really enjoyed. There was so much to love about this open-air property! If they update the mattress & pillows, we would definitely return. ##### Jenna K.

When we arrived, the small parking lot was half filled with workers’ trucks, so we had to wait for them to leave. Admittedly, we arrived about half an hour early. We were supposed to have a particular space reserved, but even after the workers left, a truck was still in our space, so we had to park in a different one. We went out for dinner, but when we came back, a sedan was in our space, so we had to choose another. In practice, I guess, it’s first-come, first-served, or take what you can get. Also, the driveway is, as ever (this is our third stay at the property), quite steep, making it a bit of challenge to maneuver your way out, especially if you have to do so in reverse. Still, it’s a beautiful and delightful place, especially if you like to get up in the dark and watch the sun rise. It’s worth some inconvenience and anxiety in the parking lot. ##### Jim H.

The amazing part was that the view was still beautiful even with the drizzly weather. There were always surfers to watch from the pool area. We didn't use the pool or hottub. I did do yoga one morning by the pool. There was a beatiful sunrise the last morning we were there. The table and chairs outside our room were under a little overhang, so we could still sit outside and enjoy coffee or breakfast in the morning. Speaking of breakfast, my husband LOVED the muffins that were provided eahch day! I appreciated how environmentally friendly they were with even providing a little composting container for our food waste. There was a refrigerator with a freezer in our room and a larger refrigerator and freezer in the common room if needed. The room was very large, so we had plenty of space. The flowers along the stair walkway from the parking space to the room were lovely. There were whales spouting out in the bay each day. They were pretty far out, but it was still exciting to see! When I had questions, they got back to me right away and were very kind. ##### sue c. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ---
