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!

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

Cozy place good to get away everything was amazing really clean and friendly.

Hosts are very nice and welcoming, had a good relaxing 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.

I really wanted to like this place. The property is a two-level house owned by Eric and his wife and is across the road from the ocean. Pros: Owner Eric is a congenial and helpful host. We arrived with no car, and because there are no restaurants nearby, he offered me a ride to buy food at local supermarket. The room was small but the bathroom and shower were spacious. Cons: I was charged an extra $50 for my ten-year old daughter, although we weren't advised of this charge at the time of booking. At 10:30 am on our last day, Eric's wife came to our room to inquire when we would be leaving. She seemed quite concerned we would not leave on time, claiming that taxis and ubers take up to five hours to make a pick up, which was unwarranted and annoying because I advised her that we had already arranged for a taxi pick-up within 30 minutes. Then at 10:59 am, one minute prior to the 11:00 am check out she again appeared and seeing we had already packed our luggage, she demanded, quite rudely, we immediately vacate the room on the pretext that the cleaning crew was scheduled to enter at 11:00 am on the dot. She also demanded we move our luggage away from the house and onto the driveway in front. At 11:15 am when our taxi arrived no cleaning crew had arrived to clean the room. My wife and I felt disrespected because Eric's wife never thanked us for our stay nor wished us a pleasant trip. She also for no reason kicked us out of our room one minute before the check-out time.

Best hosts ever! Staying with Erich and Suzy was like hanging out at a friend’s vacation home. Close to Hilo and Pahoa and not too far to Volcano either. Breakfast was everything you’d expect in a continental breakfast including fresh local fruit.

A really Great place, Excellent Customer Services from Erich and Suzy. They engaged contact before arrived to Hotel. Also, they suggested a great food and touristic places. We loved the room setup and great breakfast as well. We appreciate a lot all your hard work and I will refer you to other friends or family members. -Santiago

My wife and I stayed in the Bamboo room. It was a cute little private room along the coast. Greeted by Slash, the cat, and the many wonderful frogs at night, this stay was very memorable. I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the amenities from the little picnic basket to the poolside breakfasts. Eric was a very hospitable host and a pleasure to chat with. I would definitely stay again and recommend towards others.

I really enjoyed my stay at Ala Kai. Erich and Suzy were very welcoming and kind. Erich provided excellent suggestions for beaches in the area, in particular Carlsmith Beach. Breakfast on the lanai was delicious and the view was beautiful.

Wonderful hosts. Beautiful location:

Ala Kai was a perfect base for our stay! The location looking out over the cliffs is gorgeous, especially sunrise. The Bamboo room is cozy and very comfortable and well equipped with everything you might need! The pool was so refreshing after days hiking in Volcano. And the hosts are so friendly and helpful! It's around a 20 min drive to restaurants and groceries and less than an hour to Volcano...worth it for the peaceful location.

The Ohana Cottage was perfect for our family vacation. I always dread sleeping anywhere but home as I have a sleep number bed, but the king size bed in the cottage was so comfy. Having the amenities of home while on vacation was really helpful. The owners were super friendly and helpful. The distance from town allows for amazing views of the stars while the geckos sing to you.

Erich and Suzy are great hosts, very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. The cottage had everything we needed. The area is very private, which we appreciated. Overall had a great time staying at this place!

The lanai overlooking the pool and ocean was a wonderful spot for breakfast and relaxing. Very friendly owners and the morning sunrise was spectacular.

We have the entire cottage, including the car port, which is very nice. We love the fresh morning breakfast and the kids could not have enough of Suzy's fresh baked fruit breads.The location is excellent being just 2 houses from the end of the street, so it is very quiet. We have daily walk to the end of the street, thru the little ( and very short ) hike to a very beautiful sea cliff. It's an amazing view and almost always vacant. Seeing the powerful waves crashing the cliff is mesmerizing.The treated rain water swimming pool is refreshingly great.We bought some food from the store and cooked and grilled at the unit. Great to taste fresh local food and hot from the grill salmon.Unit does not have AC and the insect can be loud during the night. This is the reason for 'almost' perfect. I wish the unit has AC so we can have the choice of closing the windows at night and not being so hot.Both Erich and Suzy are extremely nice. Thank you.The kids "rated" this BnB higher than other high end hotels (Sheraton, Hilton, Marriott in Kona and Waikiki) that we stayed on this trip.It was a great and memorable vacation for sure.

If you want to get off the beaten path and stay at a place where you can experience the best of Hawai’i then book a stay at Ala Kai. We happened on to this lovely place and we are so happy we found this gem. It’s convenient to all the Big Island adventures and sits in the most beautiful spot right on the Pune coast. Your hosts here are thoughtful and kind and really make this the place to stay in east Hawai’i!

The place is nice, you can hear like you r living in a jungle.

This is the perfect spot to kick back and enjoy the Big Island. We had a wonderful room, fantastic ocean view and a great pool.

Ala Kai B&B is near Kaloli Point with the cleanest air in the world and no traffic out front; ocean views; large swimming pool, and accommodating, intelligent, and friendly hosts, Suzy and Erich. Includes continental breakfast. Take a hike to Shipman's Beach (Ha'ena Beach) from Beach Road nearby. We highly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful week at the Ala Kai. We stayed in the cottage which had two bedrooms, a bathroom and a full kitchen - a perfect get away spot for two retired couples. Keaau is a good location for seeing Volcano National Park and the beautiful Hawaiian birds, vegetation and dramatic ocean on the islands eastern, quieter side. Wonderful memories!

Great stay at this B&B. Hosts were friendly and accommodating, setting up an early breakfast for us, being early risers due to jet lag! Lovely location to do day trips to the volcano or nearby waterfalls. Be sure to take the trail out on to the lava cliff for stunning ocean views.
