Loved the views and very flowerful setting, very quiet. Minor suggestion re provided breakfast: fruit and special lactose-free milk was great but a little surprised that there was no bread for toast (though there was a toaster) or a bagel or English Muffin or something.

Great quiet place. Waking up and having fresh fruit and coffee on the lanai was incredible. Parking was a little tricky as the lot is incredibly small but we figured it out after a day or two.

Great Ocean Views and Breakfast too!
We had a lovely stay at Hilo Hale Kai Suites. The view from the rooms is unbeatable. You can relax on the porch and watch the surfers do their thing. Daily breakfast provided was also a huge bonus as we often found ourselves starting with early morning - one less this to worry about. We used is as a base for our days to Volcanoes National Park and it was a great place to come back to after a long day. Would recommend and stay again.

Mixed Evaluation
There were some positives, but other things I wasn't happy about. Positives-place was clean, owners accurately advised of difficulty stone steps to the back. As I have some mobility problems, the owner [she didn't identify herself], had her gardener or handyman assist me to the room, which was appreciated. Biggest positive-there was a spectacular view of Hilo bay in front of the room. Also the breakfast food was tasty. Negatives- I thought the pool would be larger-it was small and the entire 2 days we were there, a large metal pool cleaner was kept in the middle of the pool, making it much smaller. The jacuzzi, had a cover on it, which I removed to go in. I almost burned myself, as the temperature was 105 degrees [verified on the side]. The room was much smaller than expected.Lastly, we had the room until 10 am the last day. We had not seen any hosts or had contact with anyone, other than the hostess asking the gardener to help me with belongings. On the last morning, we went into town to buy something, but left some food of ours in the fridge and a very large bag with gift purchases, ie. expensive salt, several bags of Kona coffee beans etc. We were to indicate our checkout by leaving the room key inside of the room.We returned at 9:30 am, and saw that our bed was stripped, our belongings gone, I had to go all over the property looking for someone,until I found the cleaning person who looked for my large bag. I felt we had until the 10 am checkout and was uncomfortable

Generous, clean, beautiful
Last time I stayed in Hilo was at a local hotel; which was mediocre, at best. This space was half the price and has breathtaking views right from your room, whales breaching daily during our visit, generous breakfast with fresh fruit oatmeal milk coffee yoghurt and muffins daily (with Hawaii grocery prices I would est $50 daily value), and the neighborhood felt safe. It was also cleaner than the Hilton we stayed at the night prior- even the baseboards were dust free. Lack of air conditioning wasn’t an issue with the ocean breeze and provided fan. Pool was chilly but refreshing after hiking about, and the hot tub was lovely once we figured out the tricks for getting it started. We would gladly stay here again!

Gorgeous view
Great spot. Would definitely stay here again. The fresh fruit breakfast were the best! A couple of things that prevented me from giving a 5 star review: the room didn't have a name labeled on the outside so it was a bit difficult to figure out in the dark; the parking space was a bit tight and slanted (had we known ahead of time, we probably would have gotten a smaller rental car); though we had a key to the room, the lock was worn/rusted and didn't work; I also found a few stray hairs on the shower walls. None of these issues were deal breakers - fantastic location let us watch whales, dolphins, sunsets and sunrises from our room. Thank you!!

Beautiful property, not enough attention to details
We arrived after dark and none of the outdoor lights were on so we had to navigate all the steps in the dark. We are each 88 years old and it was not fun. Also the second morning there was no breakfast. The room and property are wonderful but it was not a good start.

Secluded, romantic location with gorgeous views of Hilo Bay. Be sure to wake and have breakfast with the sunrise over ths bay. Quiet - you only hear the pounding of the ocean surf on rocks below. Breakfast with in room coffee maker and mini fridge is humble but great way to start the day. Bathroom spacious and clean. Responsive host with great service.

Close to Hilo with beautiful views right out the patio. We sat and had the provided breakfast while drinking morning coffee and watched surfers from the patio. Ocean waves and breeze were nice to fall asleep to. 6/5 stars!
