Fantastic location right on the water and close to town! Loved the daily breakfasts! Small hotel (four spaces?) that made it easy to connect with other travelers. Would definitely stay here again.

This property is definitely a good value considering it's overlooking the ocean and includes a great breakfast! Having the common room with extra items in the fridge was a plus. Pool was a bit run down and could use some cleaning up - did not match pictures. Can't beat the amazing views of the ocean! Good location near Hilo.

Great ocean view, clear check-in instructions, clean room, lots of great fruit for breakfast but small room and no air conditioning (but included fans) in an environment that is very hot and humid. If you don't mind no AC in such a hot environment, it's a good room.

A Warm Room with a View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room was very clean, was small, had a great view and was in a quiet neighborhood. The room was very hot without air conditioning. Although we knew it didn't have air conditioning, we didn't realize how hot it would be in such a tropical environment - even with the fans provided. The host provided great fruit and boiled eggs for breakfast each morning. Parking was provided and was as described, but to clarify, it is very tight and would be really difficult to park a full-sized vehicle.

Mahalo for your review. We are happy that you enjoyed your time at Hale Kai. AC is very rare in our mild climate. Hopefully guests are out and about during the warmest part of the the day - or enjoying the pool - and then opening up windows and turning on fans when they return.

Great quiet place. Waking up and having fresh fruit and coffee on the lanai was incredible. Parking was a little tricky as the lot is incredibly small but we figured it out after a day or two.

Great Ocean Views and Breakfast too!

We had a lovely stay at Hilo Hale Kai Suites. The view from the rooms is unbeatable. You can relax on the porch and watch the surfers do their thing. Daily breakfast provided was also a huge bonus as we often found ourselves starting with early morning - one less this to worry about. We used is as a base for our days to Volcanoes National Park and it was a great place to come back to after a long day. Would recommend and stay again.

Great location for surfers as there is a view of the break. Reaching the break requires a car, though it's close enough to see waves and those riding them. The room was clean. Breakfast was yummy and shifted to meet dietary issues. Place is close to town for shopping and restaurants. We'll be back. This room is the smallest and we'll likely choose bigger for next time.

whale watching on the terrace

My husband and I spent 2 nights in early March in this lovely room which was part of a large home overlooking the ocean. We were pleasantly surprised with fresh breakfast items for every morning and watched whales spouting from our terrace. Amazing.
