My wife and I stayed 6 nights at Hale Hualalai on our honeymoon, and we had such an amazing time. The farm, about 15 minutes and 1000 feet above Kailua-Kona, is set in a quiet part of the Kona countryside. This location boasts cooler weather than the coast (70s) and coffee farms right down the street. The farm itself is secluded and full of fruit trees, chickens, and other animals. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a private balcony overlooking the farm and coastline. A highlight for us was the farm breakfasts with Ricky, which were the perfect way to start each day. Each breakfast was served on the shared balcony overlooking the farm, and started with Kona coffee and freshly picked citrus fruits from the farm. Ricky would then bring out a delicious main course such as banana pancakes with mac nuts and mango jelly with scrambled eggs. We usually had cute little geckos crawling around us while we ate. Every breakfast was fantastic, and Ricky provided tons of recommendations for what to do around the area. I couldn’t ask for a better place to stay and explore the...

Read moreMy husband and I spent 6 days at Hale Hualālai and we loved it. Imagine having a chef make your breakfast every morning (the French toast was to die for-thank you Ricky). The coffee and fresh fruit served are grown on the family farm. We had the pleasure of being in the room at the left corner and we watched as the family led the goats to be milked each day. The mountain and sea view was beautiful from our balcony and the room was clean and the sheets were cotton (we hate micro-fiber sheets). I would not hesitate to stay here again. I just wish dinner was served also. They also have a rental car on Turo, so book the car when you call to make reservations. Remember this is working family farm so you might need to leave a message if you call them directly. We spent 18 days on 3 islands and this was by far the most peaceful stay we had during our trip. The big island is the best island to us. A big Texas thank-you to Ricky for telling my husband about the Billibong Masters Surfing competition on Oahu...
