Captain Cook Hikiau Heiau State Monument Hotels

"Room was bright and clean. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds and gardens are gorgeous, surrounded by lava rock.The pools were great. The adult pool hardly ever had anyone in it, but even the main pool was never too crowded and always had a great vibe. The food at the restaurants was good but came at a price. The breakfast buffet is not worth it at $37 per person. You're better off ordering from the breakfast menu or using the grab & go option. I would overall recommend eating out in Kailua-Kona rather than at the hotel. The poolside bar is convenient for small bites and drinks while relaxing at the pool. We wanted to attend the Luau (which only runs twice a week) but were told that it was cancelled due to low attendance numbers, which was a real shame. I'm not sure how often that happens or if we stayed during a slow time (end of October). The hotel is conveniently located to the bay where many snorkeling and manta ray tours leave from. We did both and enjoyed them immensely."

"Amazing breakfast with healthy, beautiful local fruits . Gracious hosts with a beautiful home with ocean views, and sounds of nature. "

"Clean room and has lots of space. We were in building 6, just cross the street of the parking lot. Good locations, close to shops and beach."

"Beautiful property, I loved the decorations and amenities! Everything was clean and spacious!"

"We loved our stay at Dragonfly Ranch. The location is out of the way but perfect for seeing the beauty and splendor that is Hawaii. The people are kind and interesting. It's not for everyone. You are quite immersed in nature. There will be geckos in your room and the birds and insects are right outside. It's almost like camping with a comfy bed. "

"Amazing view, lovely house and friendly hosts. "

"I loved my stay in the bamboo cabin at Gingerhill Farms! The staff was so sweet and helpful and the cabin suited my purposes perfectly. The grounds are a gorgeous lush forest full of fruit trees that is so lovely to walk around. I would recommend it to everyone who has an appreciation of nature and the outdoors :) "

"This property is absolutely spectacular! In fact, it's probably one of the best rentals I've ever stayed at (and I've stayed at dozens, if not more than 100), given the incredible view, sunsets , and lovely outdoor living spaces. It's also close to interesting attractions and good snorkeling. And, when I left my Kindle at the rental, the host mailed it back to me and was very friendly about it. Initially I thought the cost was a little steep, but I found it to be worth every penny and overall a good value for the beautiful experience provided. Book this place now - you won't regret it!"

"Love the local vibe. Staying with Kay is very chill. The geckos are so cool. "
