AI Summary
The beds are very comfortable, and the rooms are excellent. Guests appreciate the cleanliness and proximity to the beach for beach activities and relaxation.

Nice place to relax. The rooms are very clean and are visited by friendly geckos. Only a short walk to a beach with snorkeling, swimming and surfing. The Ali’i room has a great ocean view. You wake up to the sound of birds chirping. There is no air conditioning, but you don’t need it with the ocean breezes and the ceiling fans.

Surfer Room - a great little place
Our room and bathroom were super clean and tidy. It seemed the entire property was maintained in excellent condition. We arrive at night and were surprised to see how close to the beach we were in the morning!

The "Surfer Room" was an idyllic little space on a gorgeous big island property that just "Screamed" HAWAII! loved everything about this place!

Overall, it was a good little place. However, not to be nitpicky, it didn't have a sofa and the bathroom requires leaving the room. Not the end of the world, but a consideration when choosing a room. I didn't care for it. Close to to the beach, a nice bar and restaurants nearby. Clean. The staff forgot we were coming (surprise!) When we arrived, but seemed like a nice kid.

Our room was quiet with a comfortable bed and a beautiful view of the ocean with also the sounds of the ocean waves. The staff was responsive and friendly. So close to Kahalu’u Beach Park with wonderful snorkeling. The room does not have air-conditioning, but it has wonderful louvered windows and a ceiling fan, and also a room fan which we didn’t need in February.

We found The Big Island Rereat to be just as good as the pictures! It was easy to find right off Ali'i drive. Check in and out were both very easy. We stayed in the Ocean View room which was just as advertised. There is no AC which is in the room description so there was no surprise. Ceiling fan and to other larger standing fans kept the air moving through the room. There is a common area which has beach chairs to use and some snorkel gear and boogie boards as well and an outdoor kitchen with 2 BBQs and full sized fridge for anyone there can use
The only challenge on the property was the parking. There is enough parking for the rooms, it's just a little tight especially if you wnat to back-in. I would suggest Not renting a large SUV.
Overall the facility worked out perfecly for our vacation.
