Dragonfly Ranch

Great service, friendly staff

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!

We stayed for a night there at start of our Hawaii vacation. Very, large comfortable room with a beautiful, panoramic view.

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!
