This place really was a 5 star experience. The views were unreal and the host takes good care of you. They would leave a plate of fruits and muffins or whatever else for breakfast every day, it was great!

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.

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.

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.

Loved the views and very flowerful setting, very quiet. Minor suggestion re provided breakfast: fruit and special lactose-free milk was great but a little surprised that there was no bread for toast (though there was a toaster) or a bagel or English Muffin or something.

Close to Hilo with beautiful views right out the patio. We sat and had the provided breakfast while drinking morning coffee and watched surfers from the patio. Ocean waves and breeze were nice to fall asleep to. 6/5 stars!
