This was the perfect place for us to stay while taking in the sites and enjoying in the activities of the Kona/Captain Cook area! The bed was very comfortable, everything was spotless, and the hosts were gracious. We greeted the sun every morning on the lanai with fresh coffee and a yummy breakfast--the passion fruit butter was my favorite! If you are looking for a place a little off the beaten track, this is the place for you!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The GARMIN pointed us to the wrong driveway which was steep enough. Across from it we saw the Kona Palace sign at their building and returned to the paved road--the minivan almost bottomed out upon arrival to the pavement. We chose the next driveway which did have a small sign at the mailbox post and pitched over the edge. I spent 30+ years driving high-clearance 4x4s down gravel roads less steep than this one to the back yard of another residence. I told my wife I would pay this person for parking if we had to drive down yet another steep pitch. We turned around and went back up the hill and bottomed out the minivan again on what amounted to a blind corner on the narrow Na po'o po'o road. On the pavement, I found a SAFE place to pull off and call Rebecca and ask about the driveway. I hadn't received her text with the picture that does in NO way reflect how steep the driveway really is. She said "well, everyone else makes it down here." Maybe so, but I could just see trying to repeat the drive down there IN THE DARK. No way. I told her that she could keep the money, I was not putting us in that kind of dangerous situation, and we headed to our next destination. Fortunately they could work us in earlier. The view may be nice but read all the negative comments and believe they are more than just hard to satisfy guests. In the end, we did not stay at Kona Palace.

It was likely a on off but, we werent greeted, we were unaware of the rules, kitchen and client fridge dirty, and construction going on. We also did not know we would have a shared bedroom wall with the owners. Overall just not what we expected, so we changed properties. The owners were very nice once we met them, and accomodated our change of stay.

The room was clean and comfortable but the owner is unfriendly and rude. It is like staying in a hostel with no privileges for cooking or a relaxing area. If you want a clean place to sleep stay here, if you want to feel welcome and have amenities choose another place.

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!

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!

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.

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.
