Kona Palace in Captain Cook

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights during a trip to Big Island with my in laws (who also stayed here on the second night). The room that my husband stayed in was large with a comfortable King bed. The attached en-suite had a jacuzzi and a double shower. The A/C worked and we slept comfortably; everything was clean. The property is set in a lush area of the island, south of Kona, and has beautiful views from the lanai and the the room we stayed in. The hosts - Rebecca and Keith - were warm and gracious. They laid out a continental breakfast spread every morning with property-grown fresh fruit. They were also very accommodating about a little birthday celebration we had for my father-in-law on the second night; they offered plates, utensils, and even kindly gifted us a bottle of wine. On top of that, Rebecca was kind enough to mail back a bracelet that we had left behind in our room. They went above and beyond and we really appreciated their hospitality and consideration.

A perfect start to our Hawaii trip! After a long day of travel from the mainland, we arrived at Kona Palace and were warmly greeted by Rebecca. Our room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. After a good night's sleep, we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast served on the lanai with amazingly beautiful views. Rebecca provided fresh fruit from her property (including fresh-squeezed orange juice), homemade granola, eggs, taro rolls, and more. After breakfast, coffee, and good conversation, we were on our way, but I would have loved to have stayed here longer. 5 stars!

Two more signs would really make the difference for those that did not talk to The host in advance. Rebecca, was very kind and gave us an nice greeting upon arrival. But what we didn’t expect, was a smack in the face aroma of roasted brussels sprouts! I was so grossed out because it permeated everywhere and into our room. The other immediate outer was that of tide detergent. It actually stuck to my clothes after we left . The house is an interesting design with a grand, central room and guest rooms leading off the great room. Additionally, the kitchen and a lanai are connected to the great room. It’s a pretty home……. buuuttttt…it definitely needs a deep cleaning. There are far too many, very old and outdated items that need to go. I’m not talking about antiques, I’m talking about thrift store finds of 80’s type things that detract from the property rather than enhance. Don’t open the main kitchen refrigerator. That’s where your breakfast comes from! And the refrigerator on the lanai …leftover condiments that are outdated and gross. We stayed in the room with the giant tub and blue Ocean view. What’s the giant box of used soap for underneath the sink? Ummm! Weird. There’s a funny glass swan that sits on a column of plaster Paris in the bathroom. It’s meant to be a nightlight, but it doesn’t work. 🙄

The place was nice, breakfast wonderful but quite far from the beach and no where to walk outside.

this is a cute bed and breakfast. rebecca is AMAZING. communication is great and the breakfast is WONDERFUL!!! The accommodations and property are clean. I felt safe and the views from her house are IMPECCABLE

A+ Friendly and welcoming. Sweet conversations with host and guests.
