"Quiet, relaxing stay. Weather forced us to cancel after two days. Front desk staff ANN & Front office manager KEVIN provided excellent advice & knowledge for cancellation, transport and air transportation! Third stay, never disappointed!"
"Nice property, our go to anytime we stay on the Big Island. It's in a great location near Kona, the airport, and a lot of activities. There are a lot of things to do at the property as well, including a pool, volleyball courts, grills, etc. The room is very spacious. It has a full sized kitchen, washer/dryer, dining room, and living room. It also has nice sized rooms and bathrooms."
"We had a wonderful time at the Big Island Retreat! It is for an adult who is seeking some chill time, tucked away in the trees, birds to watch, and feel the ocean breeze. Recommend for people who are okay without AC (went in March and wind was enough to keep us cool and sleep well), who are okay with quiet hours (I loved them because the sound does carry which makes ocean hearing good), and who want to spend most of their time outside or off exploring. This was perfect for our needs because we had plans to go and explore everyday and then come back just to sleep. We enjoyed not being on a big expensive resort and felt more naturally placed in the area. Our room had a bathroom, a sink, a mini fridge, a coffee pot, and dishes. There is a communal grill and larger fridge with a communal dining table. Washer and dryer available in the main public space. The public space has an open air roofed garden which is quite beautiful. We saw lots of birdies and geckos. "
"Lomi Lomi Room. It was a surprise to see a large one-room studio. Soaker bath with shower curtains in L/R area. Two walls with only screens but secure and relatively private. No A/C but efficient fans. Supplied earplugs were needed to block frog and bird and fountain noises, but I'm a light sleeper so kinda loud for me. I'm glad the recent storm didn't hit the property. That might have made the room inhospitable. But a pleasant stay away from the crowds in Kailua Kona. A bit of a drive from town - almost an hour to the airport with our 4:30 am. start."
