"Not worth the money even with the disturbance from the construction "

"Easy check in, perfect location, our room was beautiful."

"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."

"The front desk overcharged me when checking out and was super rude when sorting it out. I confirmed every single expense and credit one by one, did the exact calculation right in front of the lady, and the lady kept saying my calculation was wrong. Finally, someone else came to help and sorted it out. NO APOLOGIES at all the entire process. She made me feel it was my mistake not theirs. Front desk assistant should at least graduate from elementary school to do simple math. The elevator close to parking lot was very stinky. Room was with carpet so smelt wet during rainy weather. Will never come back again to this property! So disappointing."

"Our stay was brief but we had a nice night at the inn. The inn is inside the Volcano village so next to the restaurants and the general store. "

"Everything better than we could have imagined "

"We loved everything about the room except for tiny little ants in the kitchen area but honestly that is not unusual in Hawaii. The Orchid Room (Room 6) was stunning. The bathroom and koi pond were really well done. Loved using the jacuzzi tub as the Kona rain storm started ramping up. We lost power a few times and had to pack up by flashlight in the morning but totally understand as it was a very strong storm -- strong enough to close the national park later that day. Would have loved to have stayed longer. We hope to come back some day."
