Big Island Retreat 78-226 Kahalu'u Road, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

"The room is very charming, it is a place to relax and highly recommended for single travelers. The room is clean and tastefully decorated. I didn't have any problems with my stay and I love how quiet and relaxing it was. I booked last minute because they changed my flights, it's very affordable and close to town. Parking is free."

"The room was full of ants in the bath and on the bed. There are geckos also. The road to the building is complex and convenient, especially at night, as it is very dark outside. The room is open, and you cannot close the windows. The bathroom was slightly dirty and not in good condition. All of these affected our travel on the Big Island."

"Kinda off the road up a steep 1 lane drive. Good for an adventure. Very attentive staff. Can hear the waves crashing on the shore all night."

"We had a great stay here! Our room faced the ocean and had a beautiful view. This place is super close to the beach and snorkeling and they have gear you can borrow. There's no AC but with the windows/fans/ocean breeze, we were never too hot. You definitely hear the ocean, which I thought was really peaceful."

"Loved being so close to a beach I could just walk over there. The room was beautiful and cheerful. I was right above the laundry station. I had just fallen asleep when there was loud banging of washer and dryer doors. Hard to go back to sleep when it is so hot. The afternoon was hot in my room which faced the ocean. I think being back a bit from the ocean, I didn't get much for breezes. The porch off my room was nice to sit on and read, and try to catch a breeze! Overall I think this is a lovely place. With windows open, you can hear everything. The staff are pleasant and my room was clean, decorated to comfortable taste. I had a nice 2 night stay. Thank you."
