Don, Marti and "Akamai" were great hosts, and the breakfasts & coffee were great! Some minor repairs are needed about the place, but overall, it was very acceptable and comfortable. We enjoyed the ohana hospitality and the hours of "talking story" with Don & Marti at breakfasts. They were never rude to us in any way, and we felt totally... More

Due to the tsaunami, we arrived early which was no problem for the gracious hosts, Marte and Don. Marte had arranged our rental car, and they also had great advice on sights to see, places to dine, beaches to visit. The Inn is located in a very quiet location with a comfortable clean room, so had a wonderful rest. Breakfast... More

I and my wife had to attend workshop in South part of the island, and we choose Bougainvillea because of location and affordability. We didn't expect much.However, we received much more, than expected. Very nice, warm place. We would like to return to the island for vocation, and definetely will stay at Bougainvilla, even if location and affordability will not... More

Staying in this B&B was the only part of my wonderful trip to the Big Island that I regret and would take back in a heartbeat. The room we stayed in was old with thin walls, there was a dead bug in the bathroom, the pillows on the bed were stained yellow and the mattress was aweful. Oh, and I... More

Home away from home is the best way to describe the Bougainvillea B & B. I wish we could have stayed longer. Martie and Don were the perfect host and hostess. Breakfast was exceptional, something to write home about. If anyone is searching for serenity and peace, this is the place to lay back and just enjoy. Ann & Clay... More

My boyfriend and I stayed a few nights at the Bougainvillea B&B and really enjoyed it. It was a very comfortable, laid back place. We had a list of places around the south side of the island that we wanted to see but weren't quite sure about the logistics. Martie and Don were more than happy to help us come... More

After returning this week from Hawaii, we would agree with much of all the different reviews written here, except for one major exception, the “hospitality” factor is sorely lacking here. In the process of booking our stay a month ago, I mentioned to Martie that we would be spending one night at the Bougainvillea Inn and another night near the... More

A great place to relax, nice and quiet, and with very kind hosts - Martie and Don. We stayed there for two nights, and it certainly was the nicest place we stayed on the Big Island (our budget is 100$ per night). Rooms are nice and cosy, we felt like at home! Not to mention breakfast in the morning, it... More

Peaceful, quiet, but the star show from the hot tub or pool is breathtaking, and the breakfasts were hearty and delicious. The owners were very friendly, very knowledgeable about the island's features and history and very helpful in assisting us in making our next accomodations. Down near South Point and Ocean View, not on the beach so the cost is... More
