HPP visit

We enjoyed our stay at the property, location worked well for us as it was close to where our friends live and it was near the ocean. One big drawback for us was the downstairs location of our room, it was very dark and small which was not ideal considering the cost.

Aloha Anne, Thank you for being our guests at Ala Kai Bed and Breakfast. We enjoyed chatting with you at breakfast. The room is actually 300 sf and that is a standard US hotel room size. However, the river rock shower is quite large and has a wonderful pebble floor. We just added a beautiful teak table and chairs with soft cushions that really adds to our tropical / bamboo ambiance. We have had many of guests stay in this room and I've never had a comment that it is dark inside. I don't know if you noticed the sliding screen on the front door; it adds fresh ocean air flow and would bring very pleasant light in your room. The afternoon sun will actual shine into this room.

Kleines Paradies auf Big Island Nähe Hilo

Erich und Suzy sind zwei wundervolle Gastgeber. Unser Bamboo Zimmer war wirklich schön mit Liebe und Hingabe eingerichtet. Das Frühstück war mehr als ausreichend und ich hatte zu den frischen Früchten den Eindruck, dass der Orangensaft frisch gepresst war. Man sitzt auf dem Balkon, um sich herum grün und vor einem das Meer. Gott es will man mehr. Hang loose in Perfektion. Erich und Suzy wir werden versuchen wiederzukommen Mahalo nui loa Fam.

Bodo and his beautiful family are the kind of people that make running our small Bed and Breakfast delightful. They are passionate and interesting people who found experiences here in Hawaii that none of our guests dreamed of. They arrived and we felt like we already knew them and when they left, they were like family. Please come visit again! A hoi hou, Erich and Suzy
