After returning this week from Hawaii, we would agree with much of all the different reviews written here, except for one major exception, the “hospitality” factor is sorely lacking here. In the process of booking our stay a month ago, I mentioned to Martie that we would be spending one night at the Bougainvillea Inn and another night near the... more

A great place to relax, nice and quiet, and with very kind hosts - Martie and Don. We stayed there for two nights, and it certainly was the nicest place we stayed on the Big Island (our budget is 100$ per night). Rooms are nice and cosy, we felt like at home! Not to mention breakfast in the morning, it... more

Peaceful, quiet, but the star show from the hot tub or pool is breathtaking, and the breakfasts were hearty and delicious. The owners were very friendly, very knowledgeable about the island's features and history and very helpful in assisting us in making our next accomodations. Down near South Point and Ocean View, not on the beach so the cost is... more

My friend and I were on a hiking/camping trip when I got really stomach sick and we had to find a hotel fast. We chose Marty's Bougainvillea and it couldn't have been a better choice. I was miserable and grumpy at least when I first met Marty who ignored my bad manners and brought me immediately hot tea and and... more

We really enjoyed this B&B. Martie and Don were great. They have a lot of incites on the area and fun to stay with. We called on short notice and they were very accommodating. They are located off the beaten track in a dry, lava rock area but have converted their lot into an oasis. Great views of the sea... more

We know Martie and Don through family. We stayed for 4 nights while we were on the big island. The rooms were very comfortable, the breakfasts were wonderful. Martie and Don were superb at giving us ideas and directions of places to go see. It gets pretty windy there but the area is beautiful and remote, away from all the... more

If you want the inside scoop on where to go and what to do on the Big Island Don and Martie are the perfect hosts. They know the island well and can point you in the right direction. There are some great out of the way beaches that they can give directions to that are really only used by the... more

The hostess is... uuummm... interesting. When we talked to her on the phone she seemed very nice. When we arrived, the story changed. She immediately began to list the rules we had to follow. None were unreasonable, it was just the way she kept harping on them like she knew we were just waiting to break them. This rule nagging... more

We stayed at this B&B for one week and it was wonderful. Martie and Don were so helpful and kind. The breakfasts were great every morning. The view was a little shocking. It is on an old lava flow so everything looked like you were on the moon. It is 1 hour to Kona and 1 hour to the volcano.... more
