Just arrived back from our incredible stay with Wendi & Dave at the Honu Kai. What an amazing experience. Set in lush tropical gardens, wildlife abounds and if you enjoy nature at all, this is the place for you. Sharing a delicious tropical breakfast with gecko's and finches of every kind, not to mention the wonderfully friendly and entertaining Popo... More

Aloha from Alberta, We first stayed at Honu Kai B & B, then we ventured on to their Villa at Mauna Lani. Both were great because of their locations & diversity. This is the way to go! We gained great insights of the Island by first staying with Wendi & Dave at the B & B. They provided an Itinerary... More

Mahalo Nui Loa from Honu Kai B&B for your review, and for mentioning your stay at our sister property at the Mauna Lani Resort. We are happy to share the Homeowners Beach and Beach Club with our B&B guests, but are even more happy when guests combine their Big Island stay between the B&B and our Golf Villas Condo. We're...

The positive Tripadvisor reviews are accurate about this fine B&B. The owners, rooms, amazing breakfasts, and location are perfect for your visit to Kona Hawaii. The daytime temperature averaged 80F. Down the road 3 miles at the beach it was 90F. Up the road 3 miles it was 70F. The grounds were lush and the owners were very helpful and... More

My wife and I have traveled all over the world, typically staying at B&B's or small boutique hotels, having many great experiences. Our experience at the Hona Kai so clearly stands above all the rest that it is truly hard to describe. The comparison that comes to mind is staying with close and doting family. Everything about Honu Kai is... More

It is difficult to write a review of the Hona Kai and have it believed --- it is that good. When we were planning our trip to Kona we looked at some of the "Mega" resorts, and knew they weren't for us. Just couldn't wrap our heads around the resort charges that seemed to be endless and didn't make any... More

The Big Island was our last stop on our Hawaiian honeymoon and we were so excited to stay at this B&B because of all the amazing reviews. This place is truly amazing.

Like most reviewers, we were wowed by the hospitality and the laid-back vibe. We loved the thoughtfulness and warmth of our hosts, and the zen feel of the decor in the rooms and the surrounding gardens as well. It all compels one to just-slow-down and soak in it all in. T'was the highlight of our stay in Hawaii. That and... More
