Hale Lamalama Ka'ili Bed & Breakfast

First- no category for our type of visit: a small group of students on a field study course in Hawaii.||From other reviews it seems that owners may have changed. Current owners are a doctor and his wife Nataliya and their son. They live next door but the doctor has offices in two other towns on the rock as well. We dealt with Nataliya before arriving and had excellent communications throughout. VRBO was our booking.||Although it is a three bedroom, three bath B&B we were able to rent all three rooms with two of us also able to sleep on a bed on the deck outside- great night's sleep. There is a somewhat busy road out front but the traffic quits long before evening. Be aware, there are ducks, finches, and a host of birds I cannot name in the area. Mixed with crickets it creates a pleasant ba

We had a fantastic stay at Hale Lamalama Ka'ili. Amber and Trevor were extremely warm and welcoming really going beyond what we expected. By the time we left, we felt like they were family.||||We had never stayed at a B&B with our twin boys and they absolutely loved the experience. They still cite it as one of their top experiences on the vacation. There were so many things for them to see and do right on the property itself. There were fish and birds at the lovely pond, big parrots roosting in a cage out back, geckos scooting around outside (as they are everywhere on the island), and they even have a couple of very cute little dogs (which Amber and Trevor keep to themselves unless they see that you are comfortable with having them around). There are fruit trees, pineapples, and othe

I was looking for a place to stay on the Hilo side of the island where we could explore that whole side in just 3 days and that had wifi. I liked the location because it was in Hilo, just 1 mile or so outside of downtown. Traffic was minimal and we could get to Hawaii Volcano Natl. Park in 30-40 min. and also up north of Hilo to Akaka Falls, Umauma Falls and even up to the Waipio Valley Lookout in about 1hr. The room was as advertised and was very nice. The bed was great (and I'm picky!) and the bathroom was big and spacious. It was everything I had hoped for except for 1 thing. I expected the breakfast to be the norm but it wasn't--it was better than we could have dreamed!! The best part of our experience here was actually Dave and his cooking! First, he asked if he could make us Eggs Ben

This may look serene, but if you want to assaulted with noise pollution, this is the place! They have super noisy caged birds that scream out all times of the day, and they can't stop with the motors. They sculpt the grounds with mowers, weed trimmers, and more for several hours a day for several days a week. They even are so "in harmony" with nature that they are filling in part of the precious wetlands on the property. Let's not forget that the two lane street right next to it has its own noise pollution. If they got rid of the birds, preserved the wetlands instead of destroying it, and kept landscaping to one day a week, it would be a winner. As it is... its a place to lose you last nerve trying to relax.
