Dragonfly Ranch

Pleasant, serene, and tranquil. Nice to visit. Thank you for the wonderful time

This is a one of a kind place that provides a glamping type feel. We stayed in the dolphin room with a semi private bathroom, no a/c and open to the Hawaiian breeze (which is amazing at night). The area is beautiful and they have a great view of the ocean. Can be kind of loud at night with the birds but they provide ear plugs. My shower was warmish but my husband said his shower was hot so you gotta wait a bit. They serve a small healthy breakfast of fruits, quinoa and toast, perfect to get going in the morning. Unfortunately we weren't there long enough to enjoy some of the additional amenities like yoga, snorkeling, or tour assistance. The only negative thing is that the common areas are cluttered and weren't very neat. I also didnt like we couldn't lock up our room. The staff was helpful and kind however. We got in late so they let us check-in in the morning. I will stay again if in the same area!

What can I say, we fell in love with the Dragonfly ranch and Barbara. Her staff was beyond kind and delightful This is not your average spot. If you want an experience that you won’t forget stay here. It’s not for someone who wants all the amenities and being pampered This is a perfect spot for someone who wants to get away from the normal and escape to a tropical outdoor living paradise.

We enjoyed our stay— would recommend to a friend. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Lots a fresh local fruit at breakfast. Beautiful setting, ocean views, great room. Location is on fast narrow windy road with little shoulder, so difficult to get anywhere without a car.

This is the coolest place on the big island! We stayed here because we could not get any other hotel room near Kona for under $500 during Christmas. It is truly like staying in the middle of a rain forest yet being seconds from amazing restaurants, snorkeling and all other island activities. Increadible staff and a great very relaxed vibe. This is not for everybody and we worried about our shower being outside and the very strange room descriptions but this is what made our stay to short and an amazing experience. My teenagers thought this was the best hotel even though it did not have a TV in the room! Happy New Year

I absolutely loved this place. It was so peaceful, the food was delicious and the staff is so kind. I especially loved the yoga in the Illuminarium in the morning. I will stay here everytime I go to Hawaii.

It was a beautiful property at one time, not clean, roaches crawled on me in bed, slugs all over the floor at night. For 250 a night no way again. It just needs a really good scrubbing. Outside bathtub was filthy and full of bugs, inside flowers were mildewy If you really like rustic but expensive! Breakfast was bulgar

Checkin was a little off putting. Lack of friendliness and no explanation of the property or where the yoga studio was located. Soon after arriving, someone was using our outdoor shower. After asking the next morning, we found out the “camper” and other long term rentals use it. We stayed at the jungle penthouse. The actual inside was very rustic as expected and incredibly bug free even with a broken door and screen. Clean interior and comfortable bed. Fruit in the morning was delicious. Coqui frogs loud, but we enjoyed them. Be aware no privacy and sound carries. Once we met the actual staff (I think a long term guest checked us in) they were very friendly! Owner was extraordinarily nice and helpful.

very comfortable. resident cat welcomed us on our balcony that gave us a great view of sunset. staff helpful and friendly. breakfast very good. Appreciated complementary earplugs to tune out the coqui frog music. my only criticism is no lock on my door -but I felt very safe.

5 stars!!!! We loved our stay at Dragonfly Ranch. We arrived late and found that it was easy to locate. Our family of five and our service dog fit well in the comfortable Writers Studio. Dragonfly Ranch is beautiful--lush, green and welcoming. The whole Dragonfly team is made us feel at home. It is truly a healing center. Our 18 year old did not want to be in Hawaii until after he talked with Barbara. We are grateful for the magic transformation. I hope to make a similar center near volcano. The Dragonfly Ranch is an inspiration!
