Guest Reviews
- Roberto (6/5): - At first it was difficult to get to because Google Maps take you to the neighbors. I was expecting to have breakfast provided but the owner made me realize that the room I had rented did not offer breakfast. Service can be improved.
- John (10/5): Paradisew - I've travelled a lot over the last 4 decades and Kona Palace has the best view of any property I've stayed in. It is cozy and secluded and it was amazing just to sit on the patio and watch the sun come up from the side of a mountain! The surrounding foliage is beautiful and the accomodations are comfortable. The cherry on top was finding we had a hot tub!
- Christine (10/5): - A perfect start to our Hawaii trip! After a long day of travel from the mainland, we arrived at Kona Palace and were warmly greeted by Rebecca. Our room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. After a good night's sleep, we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast served on the lanai with amazingly beautiful views. Rebecca provided fresh fruit from her property (including fresh-squeezed orange juice), homemade granola, eggs, taro rolls, and more. After breakfast, coffee, and good conversation, we were on our way, but I would have loved to have stayed here longer. 5 stars!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Alaskans Loved Kona Palace - Kona Palace was the biggest treat of our trip to Big Island. The home is gorgeous- very clean and filled with art, antiques and beautiful stained glass. The view of Kaalakakua Bay is unsurpassed—with homemade hot breakfast served and cooked by the host. They also have worked hard to cultivate gorgeous landscaping- flowering bushes and palms. We were warmly welcomed and will return.
- JODY (6/5): - The place was nice, breakfast wonderful but quite far from the beach and no where to walk outside.
- Nicolas (10/5): - Beautiful view and very gracious host. Perfect end to our stay on the big island.
- gabrielle (10/5): - this is a cute bed and breakfast. rebecca is AMAZING. communication is great and the breakfast is WONDERFUL!!! The accommodations and property are clean. I felt safe and the views from her house are IMPECCABLE
- DOUGLAS (10/5): A+ - Friendly and welcoming. Sweet conversations with host and guests.
- Alan (10/5): - The ambiance of the home was exceptional.
- Leo (10/5): - Loved my stay in this Bed and Breakfast. Rebecca made me feel welcomed from the minute I walked in. Her breakfast was delicious and she's a sweet lady. The property has AMAZING Views!!!. My room was great and the overall experience was fantastic. I would only stay here on my next trip!!.
- Lisa (10/5): Perfect! - The hosts were amazing! They are friendly and caring. Breakfast was delightful with fresh juice from the oranges on the trees. The place is peaceful and beautiful. The view is incredible. Our room was comfortable and clean. Everything was perfect! We’ll definitely be back.
- Barbara (10/5): Kona Palace Get-Away - We loved our stay at the Kona Palace. The house is well maintained and beautifully furnished. Rebecca and her husband her very warm and welcoming. The breakfasts prepared by Rebecca each morning are delicious and feature fruits, as well as jams and preservers, all of from their own garden. We were introduced to the "soursop" fruit dueing our stay therem which was very tasty.The terracew where breakfast is served offers a breathtaking view of Kealekekua Bay. This is such a quiet and peaceful area, a real departure from the hustle and bustle of Kailua-Kona. There are a few local restaurants as well as local beaches and snorkeling spots. If you want to truly get away from it all, this is the place! We thorougly enjoyed out stay at Kona Palace and look forward to returning.
- Slavisa (10/5): - Kona palace has amazing views. Host is wonderful cook with breakfast served on lanai including fruits grown on property and fresh squeezed juice. Very clean rooms and common areas. There is no noise and traffic. Highly recommended !!
- Margaret (10/5): - Very comfortable stay. Many things in the area to do. Beautiful view. I would definitely go back.
- Ann (10/5): Gorgeous view with breakfast. - The house is stunning, with a gorgeous view. Hilly area, close to 2 step beach and others. Delicious homemade breakfast, super friendly folks!
- Jamie (6/5): bnb not a hotel - This is a house.. bnb site is where this should be advertised. Dog in house and its a steep drive and kinda hard to find. Room was nice..bathroom is in the hallway. For a bit more can get a room at the fancy resorts
- moni (10/5): - The host was very good. She ensured that we made it to the property despite the many hiccups we had encountered. Also really enjoyed the breakfast that was cooked, it was very good whilst being healthy. Only downside was just the directions to getting to the property. She explained in a decent amount of detail on how to find property but since I arrived and it was dark it made it difficult visually so maybe an update to the directions for those who arrive late, and so that directions are fitting for all car types since my rental was low it caused a slight issue at first and I had to call her in order to get guidance. She answered immediately and helped navigate that situation very quickly. All in all I would stay here again.
- philip (10/5): - Rebecca was an amazing hostess and chef. This a beautiful place to stay and is decorated impeccably inside . A wonderful bedroom and bed was perfect along with the breakfast the next morning . Close to everything on Highway 11.
- William (10/5): - Our hosts were great! Rebecca and Keith were friendly and helpful, offering many insights on the area we stayed in, in terms of places to eat and some local history, as well. Rebecca made some wonderful and healthy breakfasts, using local ingredients (beautiful fruits!) and offering choices of meat or plant-based main items. We were their only guests at the time, so we enjoyed quiet and peaceful evenings there. The view off the deck and lanai is phenomenal, with a full 180 degree view of the ocean below. We greatly enjoyed our three nights at the Kona Palace and would stay there again. Many thanks! Terri and Bill
- Delony (10/5): - The breakfast was excellent, the host was kind and helpful. We love our time there.
- Trent (10/5): - Very nice place to stay. We have never been to Hawaii before and this was our first trip there. Room was extremely comfortable, breakfast was amazing. Host was very nice and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here. The view is impeccable, it is a bit a way from everything but so worth it. I will definitely stay here again.
- Amanda (10/5): - Just here for 1 night, but would definitely stay here again.
- LESLIE (10/5): - Kona Palace is a beautiful property. We were very comfortable and felt right at home. We would definitely stay here again. .Booking through the Expedia app was tedious.
- Dean (2/5): - Room was described as having a refrigerator, microwave and furnished lanai. There was no refrigerator or microwave and the lanai was shared with other guests. When we informed owners that we were not pleased with the accommodations, I was told that if we left we would get a full refund. I returned to the room to contact Expedia about our change of plans. They contacted Rebecca, who stated I'd be billed for one night, even though we were leaving and were told that a full refund would be issued. We had booked it for 3 nights, originally. My wife went to speak with Rebecca, the owner, to explain our dissatisfaction and to state that her husband had told me that I'd receive a full refund. Rebecca was rude and disrespectful to my wife. She had been present when her husband told me I'd receive a full refund if we left. Her dishonesty and rudeness was very disturbing! Please DO NOT PLAN TO STAY at this B&B!
- Xinning (10/5): - Host is quite friendly and is willing to accommodate our needs.:)
- Sarmad (2/5): - I wasn't planning on posting any review but the last interaction with this property owner was unpleasant and needs action. She offered to refund some of our payment in return for 5 stars review which make me question all their previous misleading ones. Other disturbing encounter, she kept talking and preaching about her religion which mede me and my family uncomfortable. I would like to send her a public message that our people (unlike hers) do not sell or rent our opinions for any amount of money. It is worth to mention that we booked 4 nights and end up staying only one night (without refund) because of the situation in that house. The room and bed were so small and my son had to spend his night sleeping on a uncomfortable folding COT.
- Daniel (10/5): Last minute reservation. - Beautiful home with friendly and welcoming host. Felt safe & relaxed.
- Matt (10/5): Great stay! - Beautiful property! Beautiful vaulted ceilings in great room. Had a great breakfast on a huge Lanai overlooking the ocean. Very accommodating and friendly Hostess.
- patricia (10/5): - Bed and breakfast home was beautifully furnished. Room was comfortable; private bathroom updated and very clean. Host very friendly and accommodated us with early breakfast. No parking fee, but driveway very steep so not for faint of heart.
- Julian (10/5): - What a special, peaceful place this is. Rebecca went out of her way to make my stay as pleasant as possible, pointing out many nice restaurants close by. My favorite was Shaka Tacoz by far. The grounds of the property are covered with a lush and verdant collection of interesting plants that fascinated me for evening walks in the garden or up the driveway. The driveway is easy to manage once you realize there is a flat spot at the top that allows you to safely enter traffic on the main road. The room I stayed in was pleasantly, though not fancily apportioned, and was more than adequate for my stay, which included working nearby. I love the location, being away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas, though they are close by if you need to access them. I can’t wait to stay here again.
- Irena (8/5): - Safe and quiet.
- Jeff (8/5): - The view was great. The room was large. I was a little disappointed that the owner did not let me know that breakfast was not included with the lower level room. She said it was because the lower room had a kitchen, but I was not made aware of this until after I arrived.
- Kathleen (10/5): Fabulous place - Lovely place, gorgeous art, spectacular view from very large shared balcony, terrific hosts, amazing breakfast. Absolutely nothing to critique—even the little dog was adorable.
- Steven (10/5): - Great host. Breakfast was amazing. There are beach chairs, towels and a blanket. We will stay here again. Cute dog!
- Steven (10/5): - Great breakfast. Friendly owner. Convenient to get to places…
- Arthur (10/5): - Kona Palace is a comfortable, hillside haven convenient to many of the southern Kona Coast's natural attractions as well as shopping. Becca, the host, is full of recommendations for things to do and places to eat. She serves wonderful breakfasts on her lanai with a view that extends to the western horizon -- sunsets on the ocean. The rooms are private and open to a large, nicely furnished common area. The house is in a quiet residential area on a large property. We especially enjoyed waking to birds singing
- brad (10/5): Special - Beautiful place. Amazing view. Rebecca and Keith were warm and welcoming hosts Highly recommend!
- Leonid (10/5): - Great location! Close to the best snorkeling places. My favorite was Two Steps beach 10-15 mins drive from the property. Can highly recommend morning hours snorkeling there. Fantastic view of the captain Cook bay from the property.
- Mark (10/5): - The view is amazing on a porch and you have the living space and your room and bathroom private. She’s a nice lady with a good soul and she’ll cook breakfast and eat on a balcony with a beautiful view. It’s hard to get there at night a little the first time but just follow the direction. It’s a nice spot to stay.
- Victor (10/5): - Kona Palace is a beautiful property and the owners, The owners Rebecca and Keith are very nice, personable and accommodating individuals. There were 3 of us on bicycles riding around the island and they went out of their way to make our stay memorable and relaxing. The view from their homes spectacular and breakfast was great. I would highly recommend anyone wanting accommodations in the Captain Cook area stay at the Kona Palace. Victor
- Stuart (10/5): - Nice property! Steep driveway down to it. Tough for a cyclist leaving it. Great hosts!
- KERRY (10/5): - Beautiful place, beautiful room, beautiful views and a terrific host. Our flight to Hawaii was delayed for 3 hours so arrival was in the middle of the night. Rebecca was incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Breakfast on the balcony was wonderful! A terrific B&B for short or longer stays..5 stars all around.
- Andrea (10/5): - Beautiful location and kind hosts!
- Russell (10/5): - Kona Palace has a magnificent view, is well maintained, and feels cozy. Breakfast was tasty, and our host was accommodating with our uncertain check-in and check-out schedule. I appreciated the nice little touches like the checkout chocolate and hand drawn maps to local interest points, which we took full advantage of going to a nearby Sunday farmers market. I'd definitely recommend Kona Palace to a friend.
- Kristen (10/5): - Great place to relax and get away from the crowds, but stay close enough to so many fun activities. Amazing view with whales joining for breakfast just off the coast!! Thank you to our hosts, Rebecca, Keith for the tips and directions and pup, Oreo for the snuggles. Mahalo
- Andrea (10/5): - The property is beautiful! Waking up to the peaceful sounds of the wildlife is so soothing. Rebecca is a great host! Thank you for our beautiful stay!
- Rebecca (10/5): - We loved the lanai with the incredible view, the beautiful room and location, and the delicious breakfast with fresh fruit ant something to please a nearly vegetarian (me) and meat eater (my husband). The host was welcoming, helpful and genuine. It is hard to find, but love the privacy and the host sent a photo to help us find the place
- Estelle (10/5): Wonderful - Amazing view, quite remote spot. Driveway is windy downhill just fyi but it adds to how remote this place is!
- Robert (10/5): - Friendly host. Beautiful and well appointed room.
- CYNDI (10/5): - Lovely antiques and well appointed property.
- Miner (10/5): - Great plantings/birds & beautiful building!
- Yuanyuan (10/5): - We stayed at Kona palace for one night. It was a great experience with the host Rebecca and her dog Oreo. The house located on the bottom of a steep slope so driving was a bit tricky. Yet we were able to do it without 4WD. And because of the slope, we were able to witness hte most stunning sunset from the terrance, along with the beautiful landscape and Pacific ocean. During the night, the sound of coqui frog was eminent, which made it a unique (in a good way) immersive tropical living experience. Farm-to-table breakfast prepared by Rebecca is healthy and delicious. She also graciously packed a whole bag of fruits for our rest of the trip!
- Lana (10/5): - So peaceful and beautiful I would stay here forever if I could ! Rebecca is very kind as well
- Barbara (10/5): - Rebecca was a great host. The bed was firm and very comfortable. The area around it was exceptional.
- Jennifer (10/5): - Set in an elegant lovely home, so comfortable and clean. Amazing hosts - great company and conversation at breakfast. Breakfasts were excellent, great coffee, fresh local (some from their beautiful garden) tropical fruits. Lots of special extra touches like nice beach towels and robes. View from the lanai is icing on the cake! Can’t wait to return.
- Terry (10/5): Gorgeous view - Bottom section of house with gorgeous view down mountain overlooking ocean. A 5 minute drive down to community park and beach or take a left and drive 5 more minutes to Two Step beach. (Great snorkeling there if you swim out 300 plus feet). Great communication with owner. Large room. Stove and refrigerator are outside under covered patio area which is great for eating outdoors. Garden below patio has a ton of beautiful flowers and fruit trees.
- Harlyn (10/5): - .
- Brittany (10/5): - Rebecca is amazing. Her and her husbands property is located viewing the ocean with great sunset views. The place is very well taken care of. The driveway wasn’t tricky if you follow her instructions, stay to the right, and drive slow. Breakfast was great all homemade by Rebecca using fruits on her property too. Great conversation and company.
- Garrit (10/5): - My wife and I had a fantastic stay at Kona Palace. So much so that we ended up extending our stay. The host was very nice and accommodating and always made sure we had what we needed. The views from the lanai are stunning, the bed was comfortable, the huge double shower in the king room was awesome, and the homemade breakfast was very tasty. We did use the hot tub one night which was also great. She does have a small dog on the property but he was in no way a nuisance and was actually fun to play with. Overall we highly recommend staying here and hope to return in the future.
- Joey (10/5): Great place with amazing view - Love the place, Home, better than home the orange juice and coffee was amazing, home made fresh breakfast! Don’t forget Oreo the small dog, so sweet! You need a break from a large hotel stay here!! You will like home
- William (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay and were sorry we were only there for 1 night. The driveway is steep and a little tricky but once there the property, including the room is very nice and the view from the Lanai is simply spectacular. Rebecca is a great host and served up a wonderful breakfast.
- Jun (10/5): Enjoyable stay - Wonderful location overlooking hills and ocean. Particularly we liked the clear view of the stars at night. Tasty breakfast with home grown and local fruits. We met another family also staying there, who are friends of the host, and they were very nice and kindly interacted with my six years old son. We had an enjoyable stay.
- Michael (8/5): First Hawii trip - We stayed here just one night. Great person to deal with and a very nicely furnished home. What a view, its a little out of that way place that is great for a layed back start for our vacation. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us. Anyone staying here will not be disappointed.
- Kristen (10/5): Great Stay in Captain Cook - Loved the place. The house is beautiful and the room was spacious and comfortable (we stayed in the queen room). There is ac but we just slept with the windows open all night and listened to the frogs. The hot tub looking over the ocean was a treat. Breakfast was great as well, eggs and sausage, toast with lillikoi butter, fresh fruit, coffee. The house was only about 15 minutes from the harbor where we took a snorkeling trip to Captain Cook bay. So nicely located. And made a great launching site to drive up to Volcanos the next day. Would have liked to have stayed longer.
- Stuart (10/5): - Stunning views, very friendly owners/hosts.
- Kathleen (10/5): - Rebecca & Keith were amazing hosts! They gave fantastic suggestions for dining and activities. Their home is welcoming, private, and has stunning ocean views. Rebecca makes delicious breakfasts, with fresh fruit from their property, including freshly squeezed juice. She even gave us each a star fruit to take with us on our day trip! R & K are kind and generous hosts. I feel like we have made lifelong friends. I definitely would return, and recommend this lovely oasis!
- Jay (10/5): - A beautiful and serene property with wonderful hosts. Loved the accommodations, breakfast, and visiting with hosts. It was our last night on the island and it could not have been better!
- Richard (10/5): - I really enjoyed my stay at the Kona Palace. The service was excellent and the property was beautiful.
- Stephen (10/5): - Great B&B! We chose it because we have done the resorts- this was like living the actual Hawaiian life away from the hub but of tourist life. It was quiet and relaxing. Very comfortable bed. Decor was beautiful and made us feel like we were in an Hawaiian home. There are 3 rooms so not crowded. It was nice to get to chat with the other couple there at the time. The owners are very accommodating and caring and do their best to make your stay enjoyable. If you need anything just ask. You can’t beat the wonderful breakfast on the lanai- what a view! Breakfast is fresh OJ and fruit medley all from the surrounding garden as well as eggs, granola and bread of various type - oh and home made jams. Come back after a long day of touring or beaching and relax on the lanai watching the sunset, listening to tree frogs chirping and feeling the cool breeze. It is away from many tourist things to see and do but doesn’t take long to get Tom some. The road to get there is very winding and steep but you are tucked away and safe there once you get there. We hope to come back.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Beautiful room and home. Comfortable bed. Rural surroundings were lovely as were the views from the lanai. Breakfast was the best! Rebecca was very prompt in responding too us. Highly recommend.
- Dena (10/5): Gorgeous view of Captain Cook Bay - Lovely setting--terrific view from lanai. Pleasant hostess (and dog!), delicious breakfast, spacious and well-decorated room. Yes, the driveway is a bit intimidating, but not a problem if one follows Rebecca's directions. But I have to admit, between the driveway, the twisty road, and the unfamiliar rental car, I would not be comfortable driving back and forth at night (e.g., to go out to dinner). On my one night, I got a good take-out dinner from a local fish place before dark, and ate it on the lanai.
- Mary Pat (10/5): - Wonderful all around……contacts, directions, hospitality, gorgeous setting, beautiful home, lovely accomodations. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier.
- Savi (10/5): - What a wonderful place to stay! We got there as the sun was ready to set over the water as the beautiful scenery off the patio was perfect. Was out again in the morning to watch the sunrise on the patio. Breakfast was delicious and our host was so accommodating and friendly. Will definitely go and stay again.
- Brittain (10/5): - Kona Palace is in a beautiful location with an amazing view! There is lots to see and do close by. The bed and room were very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious.
- Thomas (10/5): Relaxing stay - Very relaxing stay. Beautiful house and views. King bedroom so comfortable and relaxing. Watch the steep road, just go slow and easy.
- Louis (10/5): Great views and location off the beaten track - Great stay at Kona Palace. Great communication, good breakfast and good views. Host is friendly and puts folks at ease . Good location for activities in south Kona near snorkeling beaches via kayak and Greenwell Coffee farm. Close to Keahou Farmers market (Saturdays) and therefore restaurants in Kalieu-Kona (Magic Sands Restaurant, healthy, on beach but not overpriced). Secluded option over touristy choices in town, a little more work but worth it.
- Mukti (10/5): - I stayed in King room. Was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast on the verandah overlooking the magnificent bay. Rebecca was a very accomodating host.
- Brian (10/5): Quiet and relaxing stay - I needed a one night mental health stay to get some peace and quiet and get some work done. Rebecca was an attentive host, but also gave me the space that i needed. The furnishings in the house are gorgeous and the its got a screaming coastline view of the back deck!
- Lois (10/5): - Beautiful property! House is
- Bogdan (10/5): Super satisfied - Beautiful home, incredible view of Captain Cook. Host was very friendly and went above and beyond by giving us welcome drinks and snacks for our travels when we left. Breakfast was very good w the host!

- Keerthikanth (10/5): - This place was a great find!! The views and the rooms are just amazing. They blend so well with the nature. Rebecca was very welcoming and well organized. She took time to ask the right questions about my preferences on free breakfast or room etc so that she can accommodate those requests to the best of her ability. I give a huge props for that!! The breakfast was just amazing. The fruits are served right from her garden!! I wish I could eat her food everyday. I would comeback and stay here anytime if there is availability
- Mason (10/5): - The Kona Palace at Captain Cook offered a gorgeous view and a friendly host, with an excellent location close to local beaches and attractions. The room was large and comfortable, the breakfast was unique and delicious. I’d definitely recommend to anyone considering staying in this area of Kona to check it out.
- Juliette (10/5): - Rebecca made our stay very enjoyable. The property was beautiful, the view was stunning, and the hosts know how to make you feel at home. Highly recommend!!
- Robert (10/5): - Wonderful stay. The room was very comfortable and breakfast was amazing. The hosts were extremely accommodating when we had to arrive late. We appreciated the friendly feel and great conversation. Definitely would highly recommend!!
- Allan (10/5): Comfort in Captain Cook! - I was very pleased with my stay. Clean, comfortable, courteous and professional owner. Wonderful breakfast with a view. This was planned to stay in Captain Cook area, navigation was helpful, owner was helpful. Beautiful coastline.
- Carmella (6/5): Nice but not again - They offer airport shuttle but it isn’t always available. I had to pay $50 each way (this was one of the reasons I picked them). No tv in bedrooms only communal tv. People very friendly. No food near hotel.
- Kerry (6/5): - Bathroom wasn’t really prepared for guests. We had an early flight. Did not offer coffee or anything.
- Jon R (10/5): - We loved our view of the ocean, the lush vegetation all around, and the sounds of nature. It is a gorgeous location.
- Penelope (10/5): - The expansive view of the Hawaiian coastline from this location is breath taking which is only Enhanced by the charm and beauty Of the artfully, and tastefully interior Decore
- Richard (10/5): - Our second visit to this pleasant B&B brought no surprises. The hosts were kind and helpful, the bedroom and bathroom clean and comfortable, the breakfast was ample and delicious — so much so that we stayed beyond checkout time (with no complaint from our hosts). An enjoyable experience. We look forward to returning.
- Richard (10/5): - This was our first visit to this welcoming B&B with a view from the side of a hill that overlooks the ocean and Captain Cook. We arrived during the day to drop off our suitcases and were greeted by Rebecca, our hostess. She showed us to a very pleasant and well-equipped bedroom and then graciously advised us about local places to eat, The house itself is comfortably furnished and has an eclectic decor. We slept well and had a delicious breakfast before departing the following morning. Both Rebecca and husband Keith were warm and charming hosts, and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. We note that some other guests have remarked on the exciting driveway experience, but felt that it was a relatively normal driveway for the area which gets its great ocean views precisely because it is on the side of a hill and note that most of the driveways in the area are steep.
- Rita (10/5): - The hosts were wonderful. Our room was gorgeous, the view incredible and they suggested some great restaurants for dinner. Thee we property is beautiful and very reasonably priced.
- Yiqin (2/5): - Remote and hard to find property, dangerous and steep drive way. Owner Rebecca clearly does not want us there, many things are off limits and we are constantly watched. Very unpleasant experience.
- Marissa (10/5): - Beautiful views from the house and an amazing breakfast! The room had everything we needed for our short stay. As others mentioned, the driveway is very steep but doable in a normal sedan.
- Joanne (2/5): - The owner didnt mention it was a B&B and pictures suggested their was more than 1 bed available and no communication sent till hours of our arrival so we would be able to cancel. According to state law an id number should be listed on every add so they can be identified if there is a complaint. Although the name of owner and locstion of home is sufficient. The state of Hawaii is concerned about multiple homes in residential areas that interfere with residents. This place is very hard to get to with very steep roads and driveways. The owner lusted sleeping 3 yet when I called and told her we were not expecting just 1 bed due to sleeping 3 was mentioned the owner said she typically charged for a rolaway to allow us to sleep in seperate beds that is not mentioned in the add. I am a Kamaina and will spread the bad practices of this location
- alan (8/5): - This is a Bed & Breakfast property, located at the end of a very steep driveway (there are other private homes located on the driveway in this residential neighborhood). Our room was in a hallway, with a curtain used to open and close ( wish the curtain had a sign saying "Private").The bedroom and bathroom each had a lockable door handle. Excellent view of the ocean from the deck. There are just a few rooms in this "palace", again this is a B&B. Vehicle parking is very tight in front of this house, would advise having a second person help in turning around car. About 35 min from Kona airport, reasonable price for overnight stay. Great hosts running this B&B.
- David (8/5): - Kona Palace has an incredible view of the ocean and the town of Captain Cook. Our host provided excellent breakfasts with eggs, fresh Hawaiin fruit, yogurt and more. The property is in tip top shape, with lovely stained glass, and beautiful floors. This is a place made for those who like heights as one enters down a steep driveway.
