Situated in Kailua-Kona and only 8.9 km from Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park, Hale Hualalai features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property is around 28 km from Kealakekua Bay, 33 km from Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park and 42 km from Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park. This 3-star bed and breakfast offers private entrance. We had the pleasure of meeting Ricky and his family. Ricky and Irina are born hosts, with the right touch of humor. Breakfast was a real treat every day. Ricky is a very good chef. We were also able to benefit from the best insider tips. This enabled us to explore Kona perfectly. Our time with Ricky was great. Should we return to Kona, we will definitely book the Hale Hualalai and maybe have a drum session with Ricky :)

Guests can take advantage of the complimentary shuttle service within the Waikoloa Beach Resort. This family friendly resort offers babysitting services and children’s activities. It’s exceptional.

Ironing facilities, an in-room safe and a hairdryer are provided in each unit. We stayed in Room 404 for 5 nights. It was very clean and spacious. You can tell the owners and staff took great care of the condo. We really appreciated the full size kitchen, and a large laundry including a dryer. The beds were comfortable and the views of the golf course was wonderful. Condo also included tennis racquets and balls, as well as pickleball set and snorkle gear to use. Excellent restaurants only a short drive away.
