A spiritual, peaceful, zen like retreat in the Hawaiian natural forest allowing the visitor to immerse themselves in the joy of natural outdoors. Many extracurricular activities can be had on the property such as: meditation, yoga, stretching, healing processes, musical involvement, sightseeing and reading. Many activities are unlisted for your discovery.

I stayed in the Writer's Studio room, which was a unique experience. The windows are screened but not glassed in, so you get to enjoy copious fresh air, the sounds of a delightful babbling fountain and the resident coquis, and the comfortable temperature of the landscaped property at the Dragonfly Ranch. (Earplugs are provided for those who are not lulled to sleep by the sounds of nature.) I wish I could have availed myself of Barbara's healing services, but I arrived late and had to leave early for a dive trip. I missed the breakfast, but its description made me wish my dive trip started an hour later! I hope to return next year and perhaps stay longer to get the full experience.

Dragonfly is a unique place in Kona, with exceptional people running the facility, which was created by the founder 50 years ago! It doesn’t fit into any conventional thinking about hotels and they have a great upper deck with a fantastic view that would be fabulous for yoga. It is close to many sites but you have to be comfortable with the unconventional, including some frogs!

What a beautiful and serene location. The rustic lodging makes allows immersion into nature while providing the comfort of a hotel. The staff, the owner, and the food were great! A perfect place to get a taste of the Aloha spirit!

What a magical experience to stay here! Aunty Barbara and her team were filled with aloha, kindness and made our visit unforgettable. And all the fur babies made me not want to leave. We left rejuvenated and our hearts full. Mahalo nui!

Barbara and her staff are absolutely the kindest people on earth! Their description of their ranch is exactly as they say. We got to live with nature but all the elements of a very upscale ranch. It was holistic, peaceful and nurturing for the soul. This is NOT a place for people looking for a pedicure. This is a place for healing and time within and reflection. My husband says it’s “simple and spiritual.” We have backpacked and hiked all over the islands and this place was such a gem to us. More like the hippie oasis and soul searchers retreat.

Dragonfly Ranch is surrounded by green and the song of frogs and birds. I stayed in a room with a delightful view of trees then ocean. Dragonfly is only about a 6 minute drive from a great beach for snorkeling and swimming - Two Step, right next to the Pu'uhonua o Honoaunau (Place of Refuge), which is well worth a visit. Staff was attentive, friendly and helpful. I look forward to visiting again in the future.

It look like Youth Hostel! Small room. From the parking to the Dragonfly is the steepest walk! Not for wheelchairs! My room above the kitchen. Noisy. My friend wanted to wash her hair. No hot water!!! The breakfast room was was dirty! Food was good! Fresh fruits.

I had a wonderful stay at Dragonfly Ranch. Initially I gave a bad rating for check in experience because nobody was there for me to check in. And later I found that it was because a staff had to go to hospital for emergency and usually someone is there.
All staff are warm and helpful. The owner, Barbara is full of knowledge of health. And she is eager to help you how to be healthier and happier. The property is beautiful with big trees, lots of green and flowers. Healthy breakfast is a huge plus. I look forward to staying there again!

If you love kind and caring people and enjoy nature and a casual family-like environment, you will enjoy staying at the beautiful Dragonfly Ranch.
You will be immersed in the beautiful scents of tropical plants and flowers and enjoy a symphony of birds and nocturnal frogs and insects from your cozy eclectic screened in suite.
I had a wonderful time staying at this unique and peaceful place.
Thank you!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Dragonfly ranch. The owner, Barbara, was very engaging and helpful to find our way around the area. We had the option to stick to ourselves whenever we wanted, but also had great conversations with all the staff. Very delightful people. The bed was very comfortable and the room quiet. I highly recommend giving this gem of a place a try. We know we'll be back there for a stay next time we visit the Big Island.

Expensive for what you get. Camping with a roof. Dolphin room closes with only a small latch for security. Random door that leads to another room and locks from the otherside. Outdoor shower and bathroom. Breakfast was great. Cheaper than a resort but not worth the savings.

Its a little more basic than we thought it would be.
The bathroom was clean but basic.
Dragonfly Ranch is in the jungle - bring mosquito spray.
We had a big arse spider in the bathroom - none of us dare go past him to take a shower.
A simple breakfast was provided: coffee, cereal with nuts and fruit and toast.

From the moment my boyfriend and I checked in we were treated so amazingly. We were even given a choice to upgrade ( which we kindly declined). Our room was cozy... the bed was like a cloud.We watched a beautiful sunset after driving around the island. In the morning we woke up to coffee and a lavish breakfast that only happens here at Dragonfly retreat. For those who expecting a hotel type stay think again. This is an outdoor adventure to be explored and appreciated. We loved it and will return every chance we get. Thank you to all the staff for your hard work.

Dragonfly Ranch is a great place to stay, with awesome staff, and the owner (Barbara) enjoys getting to know the guests with a wealth of knowledge for what to do and great places for food and other experiences. Each morning breakfast is provided with fresh fruits (some from the ranch), nuts, seeds, healthy grains and more to start the day on Big Island. The Captain Cook area of Big Island is a wonderful area to stay where Dragonfly Ranch is located.

This is nothing like a hotel or B&B you would normally stay in. It is an eclectic experience more akin to crashing at a friend's place because you need a place to stay. In fact, many of the friendly staff seem to be doing just that. If you like a very different experience, this may be the place for you. First off, the doors to the rooms are not secure. They have only simple latches, so if you leave the property, you will want to bring all your valuables. There are no glass windows, just screens, and obviously no A/C, which can be a problem when it gets hot. They have fans, some good and some not. The beds seem to be clean but don't look too close into the corners or closets. Most showers are outside of the rooms, protected by sliding curtains. Cobwebs are ever-present as well. This place was apparently once a yoga studio and wellness retreat and still has many of the same facilities for those functions, including lots of books and healing oils around. The breakfast is a healthy affair with fresh cooked grains like quinois, and fresh fruit as well. The nut butters and jams for toast come from a collection that has been used by many people for a long time. They come out of the fridge on a tray that has been holding them all for quite a while. The place is filled with all kinds of interesting art and objects, but some, like the collection of musical instruments in the main "lobby" are covered with cobwebs. This place could be great with a major overhaul and deep cleaning.

We were dazzled with this property. We spent the first night of our Honeymoon here and it was perfect. The staff was so welcoming, helpful and caring. Added Bonus: Both my husband and I agreed that this was our favorite breakfast from both Oahu and the Big Island!! The pineapple was AMAZING!

The location was not what I expected. There are no locking doors, so if you want to leave anything in your room while you are away, you can not lock it. You can latch the screen door from the inside. The bathroom for the room I stayed in was not completely private. It was essentially on the outside porch and screened in by bamboo blinds. The location is staffed primarily by college age adults that were pleasant and helpful. It was a more natural setting than most lodging places. If asked if I would stay there again, I most likely would say yes.

We arrived and somehow in booking with hotels.com it changed 6 people to 2 people. So we had to pay $120 extra dollars to stay all in 1 room, which had lizards and the biggest bugs ever inside. We paid $456 for 1 night and most definitely not worth it!
Also don’t stay here if you’re allergic to cats! A cat kept coming into our room all night through the outdoor shower which is completely open to the room. Pictures are better than in person.
