What a great place! Gorgeous view every day you stepped outside, great bedroom space with comfortable beds, and a spacious bathroom. Erich and Suzy were super kind and helpful with recommendations for things to do and places to go. The pool was fantastic and breakfast was delicious. Definitely a place that warrants a return visit.

The owners were very helpful and gracious. We enjoyed having our own cottage where we could have our own refrigerator, microwave and washer/dryer. The owners told us about a great local restaurant where we ate dinner the first night and talked to a friend to find a good Thai restaurant for us when we asked for one. They also had a wonderful cat for us to cuddle.

What a beautiful slice of paradise—a little sweet cottage with everything we needed —off the grid (but still close enough to groceries and great restaurants) with excellent hikes and beaches nearby.
Eric and Susie were excellent hosts with delicious breakfasts featuring local fruits and visits from their friendly cat, Slash.
We left happy and relaxed.

Eric was full of knowledge of things to do around the Island. The place was clean, comfortable and convenient to get to. I would highly recommend!

Perfect place to get away if you like hiking the rugged lava shoreline and watching whales from the lanai. Singing frogs and pounding surf lull you to sleep at night. Definitely off the beaten path but the host recommended many enjoyable restaurants and activities a short drive away. Low key and friendly.

Our family (2 adults and 2 children) spent 3 nights in the Aloha Suite. We had a fantastic stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The suite was very enjoyable. Breakfast in the morning on the terrace, with view of the ocean. We also enjoyed the pool very much. The B&B is located in a very quiet area, with immediate access to the nearby forest and the ocean front. Last but not least, the hosts Suzy and Erich make this a very special place.

Erich was so friendly and easy to talk to. Stayed in the cottage, parked in the carport. Loved all the windows (with screens!). Looked forward to breakfast each morning and the suggestions Erich provided for the day. Pool was lovely and road was quiet. Ala Kai was truly paradise and we can't wait to return!
was perfect, great hot water

It was okay. Smaller than we expected. The internet was not working and there was no TV service. Kinda pricey for the size of the room. The bathroom is the highlight of the rental.

They should do a better effort to make a decent breakfast. This is not what we expect when book a B&B. a quarter of a muffin and a mini begal seating beside the driveway and surronded by black flies is not nice. The place is overpriced for what you get. The frogs were so noisy that we had to close all the windows at night.

We felt so "welcomed" by Suzy and Erich at Ala Kai Bed and Breakfast we considered moving in!! We loved The Bamboo Room. It was perfect for the two of us celebrating our 54th Wedding Anniversary. We've traveled a lot over the years. A tropical setting like this is what we prefer. We fell asleep and woke up to chirping birds and croaking frogs...so relaxing! Breakfast on the Lanai - with an ocean view - was perfect and filled with conversations with Erich and Suzy about the area and suggestions for places to go and explore during our two week visit. You DO NOT want to pass up an opportunity to stay at this lovely Hilo area property on the "laid back side" of the Big Island.

I found this location on Travelocity when booking a package deal. I saw the ratings were very good, so that made it easy choice. I was not disappointed. I felt like I was at home. The owners Erich and Suzy live at the location and were very nice and welcoming. They made it there goal to educate me about the island, pointing out the great locations to visit. They always had coffee and breakfast ready in the morning, greeting the guests as they arrived. Great views of the Pacific ocean from their front yard and porch. Bedrooms were spacious and had fans and A/C if needed. I would recommend this location to friends and family. When I return to visit family in the future I will attempt to book a room here at Ala Kai BNB. Thank you for the great time!

Suzy and Erich were terrific hosts. Friendly and full of helpful suggestions for sightseeing and dining. The 2-bedroomcottage we stayed in was fully equipped and quiet. Simple healthy breakfasts out on spacious porch.
Good location for visiting Volcano National Park. Airport was a short drive. Highly recommend.
