What a beautiful slice of paradise—a little sweet cottage with everything we needed —off the grid (but still close enough to groceries and great restaurants) with excellent hikes and beaches nearby.

Eric and Susie were excellent hosts with delicious breakfasts featuring local fruits and visits from their friendly cat, Slash.

Perfect place to get away if you like hiking the rugged lava shoreline and watching whales from the lanai. Singing frogs and pounding surf lull you to sleep at night. Definitely off the beaten path but the host recommended many enjoyable restaurants and activities a short drive away. Low key and friendly.

They should do a better effort to make a decent breakfast. This is not what we expect when book a B&B. a quarter of a muffin and a mini begal seating beside the driveway and surronded by black flies is not nice. The place is overpriced for what you get. The frogs were so noisy that we had to close all the windows at night.

We felt so \"welcomed\" by Suzy and Erich at Ala Kai Bed and Breakfast we considered moving in!! We loved The Bamboo Room. It was perfect for the two of us celebrating our 54th Wedding Anniversary. We've traveled a lot over the years. A tropical setting like this is what we prefer. We fell asleep and woke up to chirping birds and croaking frogs...so relaxing! Breakfast on the Lanai - with an ocean view - was perfect and filled with conversations with Erich and Suzy about the area and suggestions for places to go and explore during our two week visit. You DO NOT want to pass up an opportunity to stay at this lovely Hilo area property on the \"laid back side\" of the Big Island.

I found this location on Travelocity when booking a package deal. I saw the ratings were very good, so that made it easy choice. I was not disappointed. I felt like I was at home. The owners Erich and Suzy live at the location and were very nice and welcoming. They made it there goal to educate me about the island, pointing out the great locations to visit. They always had coffee and breakfast ready in the morning, greeting the guests as they arrived. Great views of the Pacific ocean from their front yard and porch. Bedrooms were spacious and had fans and A/C if needed. I would recommend this location to friends and family. When I return to visit family in the future I will attempt to book a room here at Ala Kai BNB. Thank you for the great time!

I really wanted to like this place. The property is a two-level house owned by Eric and his wife and is across the road from the ocean. Pros: Owner Eric is a congenial and helpful host. We arrived with no car, and because there are no restaurants nearby, he offered me a ride to buy food at local supermarket. The room was small but the bathroom and shower were spacious. Cons: I was charged an extra $50 for my ten-year old daughter, although we weren't advised of this charge at the time of booking. At 10:30 am on our last day, Eric's wife came to our room to inquire when we would be leaving. She seemed quite concerned we would not leave on time, claiming that taxis and ubers take up to five hours to make a pick up, which was unwarranted and annoying because I advised her that we had already arranged for a taxi pick-up within 30 minutes. Then at 10:59 am, one minute prior to the 11:00 am check out she again appeared and seeing we had already packed our luggage, she demanded, quite rudely, we immediately vacate the room on the pretext that the cleaning crew was scheduled to enter at 11:00 am on the dot. She also demanded we move our luggage away from the house and onto the driveway in front. At 11:15 am when our taxi arrived no cleaning crew had arrived to clean the room. My wife and I felt disrespected because Eric's wife never thanked us for our stay nor wished us a pleasant trip. She also for no reason kicked us out of our room one minute before the check-out time.

Cute stay along the coast

My wife and I stayed in the Bamboo room. It was a cute little private room along the coast. Greeted by Slash, the cat, and the many wonderful frogs at night, this stay was very memorable. I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the amenities from the little picnic basket to the poolside breakfasts. Eric was a very hospitable host and a pleasure to chat with. I would definitely stay again and recommend towards others.

Almost perfect.

We have the entire cottage, including the car port, which is very nice. We love the fresh morning breakfast and the kids could not have enough of Suzy's fresh baked fruit breads.
The location is excellent being just 2 houses from the end of the street, so it is very quiet. We have daily walk to the end of the street, thru the little ( and very short ) hike to a very beautiful sea cliff. It's an amazing view and almost always vacant. Seeing the powerful waves crashing the cliff is mesmerizing.
The treated rain water swimming pool is refreshingly great.
We bought some food from the store and cooked and grilled at the unit. Great to taste fresh local food and hot from the grill salmon.
Unit does not have AC and the insect can be loud during the night. This is the reason for 'almost' perfect. I wish the unit has AC so we can have the choice of closing the windows at night and not being so hot.

Both Erich and Suzy are extremely nice. Thank you.

The kids \"rated\" this BnB higher than other high end hotels (Sheraton, Hilton, Marriott in Kona and Waikiki) that we stayed on this trip.

It was a great and memorable vacation for sure.

This bed and breakfast was easy to find with plenty of parking. Short walk across the street leads to an open grassy field with an obstructed views of the sunrise each morning. We were lucky enough to see Wedll‘s breaching the first day and turtles playing the next. The host puts out a wonderful homemade from scratch breakfast each morning.

A Hidden Treasure

We stayed three nights in the cottage at Ali Kai Bed and Breakfast. The accommodations were very nice and Mary was wonderful. She greeted us when we arrive and got us \"settled in\". Breakfast each morning was more than expected with an entree, fresh fruit and breads, juices, infused water, coffee and tea selections. Mary greeted each guest at breakfast and spent time talking with all. She was also very helpful in suggestions of places to see and eat in the area. Ali Kai is secluded and peaceful and I would highly recommend it.

Mary is a very welcoming hostess and is very helpful and flexible in accommodating requests. She feels like a friendly next door neighbor you can sit down and have a cup of coffee with. We appreciated all the advice and assistance she gave us and her recommendations were insightful and honest. Staying at this B & B really added quality and value to our entire trip.

My husband and I enjoyed everything about our stay. Mary made sure everyone was taken care of. The amazing views and singing frogs really topped off our stay.

Peaceful and Picturesque

We enjoyed a peaceful and picturesque 3 days at the beautiful Ala Kai B&B. The beds were very comfortable, the views of the wild ocean from the lanai were amazing. Our host Mary was filled with info about nearby hikes, restaurants and local markets yet was not intrusive. Breakfasts were wonderful with plenty of local coffee, fresh fruit, breads, jams and each day a different special such as banana macadamia pancakes with guava syrup. She even offered us her well stocked picnic basket to use for our trip to the beach. We loved the place!

Amazing property, clean, spacious, quiet. Sitting on the front porch you hear the sound of the waves and the birds and frogs. Amazing tropical surrounding. So much better then staying in 5 star hotel. Breakfast: Best macadamien nut, blueberry, banana pancakes I ever had. Served with a large variety of fruit. Thank you Mary for taking such good care of us.

Fantastic bed and breakfast just outside of Hilo

The hostess Mary is fantastic. She is very welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts are incredible as well. Ala Kai has an official greeter who goes by Shakespeare. He and Mary have a great bed and breakfast location that is very comfortable as well.

Perfect B&B by the sea

We loved everything about this B&B. Mary was so welcoming, friendly and gave us some great tips of where was best to explore on the big island.
The rooms were spotless and the deck overlooking to ocean made a great place to sit out and relax at the end of the evening.

Location was about a 20 minute drive to Hilo and a good base to explore the rest of the island.

Nice B&B with amazing volcano views

We visited this B&B in July, and stayed in the family cottage. The cottage was practical and spacious, with a lot of attention to detail from the very nice owner. The only drawback was there was no air conditioning in the cottage. Opening windows and using fans made it liveable, but it was a little hot and humid during the day. Breakfast is served on the cosy terrace. The local area is nice and quiet, but a car is a must since it is a little away from Hilo and other sights. Amazing views of the eruptions from fissure 8 from the ocean area across the street (from safe distance) in the evenings.

By the beach

Pat was very helpful and accommodating. I had an issue with the bed and she swapped it out. The linens needed additional washing and she took care of that as well. She provided breakfast around my likes and dislikes.

Paradise in Keaau

Everything about Ala Kai is perfect. The photos and amenities described on the Hotels.com website are completely accurate. It is a well built, immaculate home located in a quiet, upscale, residential neighborhood, at the end of a dead-end road (very little auto traffic), and faces the ocean. I was there for 2 days with an adult daughter. We had the 2-bedroom suite with bath. Bedroom glass sliders provided entrance to the wrap-around lanai providing direct access to ocean-facing lanai and pool. The view from the lanai was beautiful. Full breakfasts on the lanai each morning were excellent. The owner was very friendly and hospitable, and provided a comfortable, home-away-from-home atmosphere. Rather than eat out at night, we bought take-out dinners from a local restaurant and brought them back to the B&B and to relax and eat in the pleasant dining area. It is priced fairly with good value. I will definitely stay there again when I visit the Big Island of Hawaii.

Rural getaway near Hilo

Mary was a great hostess, very friendly and accommodating. Hot breakfasts were wonderful and different every day. Ala Kai B&B is rural, perhaps 20 minutes from Hilo, but not difficult to find. Local towns Kea'au and Pahoa have basic services and some nice restaurants. Fine snorkelling nearby, especially at Kapoho tidepools.

Ok hotel not on the beach but with access to beach

We chose this one since it has nice review and high recommendation. However it turned out to be somewhat disappointing to us. The hotel is not on beach but there is a pass to walk to beach pass 3,4 houses. Beach is beautiful though.

room is small and with a smell that I don't like, owner is very considerate, they have sunblock, off...etc in the storage.

every B&B I stay, I have a high expectation with the breakfast, this one was good, but it would be excellent if the owner can prepare some meat and egg. We stayed 2 nights, one time the warm breakfast is potato with cheese, one time is pancakes. I would enjoy meat+egg as well.

Location is a bit out of nowhere, need to drive a bit to get there.

It was a good experience however don't feel it deserves this high score of review.

Quiet, secluded and well appointed B&B by the sea

A beautiful B&B in a fantastic setting - ideal for relaxing. Still close to the attractions of the volcanoes, Hilo and more. The host Mary was most helpful and made us very welcome throughout the stay. The rooms and facilities were perfect and the breakfasts were healthy and nutritious. Overall, you couldn't ask for more during a break in Hawaii.

We stayed at the 2 bedroom and 1 bath cottage. It has a fully functional kitchen and a small living room. It is clean and has everything need. The owner also allowed us to borrow snorkeling gears, beach chairs, sand toys, etc. The nice breakfast was served on the second floor of the front house where you can see the ocean. The location is not in the town. But we like it as it is quiet from the crowds and within the reasonable distance from the places we wanted to see.

Wonderful out of the way stay!

This bed and breakfast is tucked away at the edge of the Puna Peninsula! It is perfectly located to enjoy all the east island attractions yet have the tranquility of the best deck around for breakfast. It was a peaceful and delightful start to every day. So relaxing. It isn't glitzy but a down home island feel making all the choices yours. The walk to the coast line is less than five minutes away and absolutely stunning. Very clean and every detail well thought out. It is so worth the cost as so many extra percs are included. The proprietor Mary, is a wealth of knowledge for whatever you want to ask. She is willing to stay out of your way or be as helpful as you would like. Her suggestions for activities, short cuts, and dining recommendations were superb! She is set to equip you with anything you could think of to make your day even better. Who needs a guide book when you can ask Mary! Every recommendation she made for all of the island ended up being one of our favorites.
