Dave and Wendi are simply the best hosts you could ever wish for!!! That should be enough to say here because everything that is said on this site about them and their B&B is true ... but I'll mention a couple of things! You won't find two individuals anywhere, working in the service / hospitality industry, who enjoy their jobs... More

We had a 5 days in Kona and wanted to get a genuine experience while we were there. We were not disappointed. Staying at at Honu Kai B&B, we were treated like family. The breakfasts were wonderfully yummy, the advice on daily activities and assistance in getting ready was much needed and appreciated. The B&B is located a short 10min... More

This place is paradise! I arrived off the plane and was tired from my long flight. That all changed when I arrived. Dave and Wendy introduced themselves and they were the friendliest and most helpful people I have dealt with in all my time staying at hotels/ bed and breakfasts/ resorts. They showed me to my room, the "Mala Hale"... More

Honu Kai B&B is better than a five star resort! Wendy and Dave share to much of themselves with their patrons. Their Aloha Spirit is genuine. This was our second trip to the Big Island, and our third B&B experience there . . . we will never stay anywhere else in the Kona area again. The rooms are beautifully decorated... More

My wife and I were hoping to finish a mad honeymoon race around the Big Island with some carefree days on the Kona side. This is the place for that. The rooms are great and well-appointed and the breakfasts are delicious and ornate. That may be a given at this price. It's really the hospitality that makes this an unforgettable... More

We've stayed at several B&Bs, but never one that made us feel as welcome and cared for as this one. Wendi and Dave went well above and beyond our expectations by anticipating our needs and desires and doing everything in their power to make our visit to Kona a memorable experience. They asked what plans we already had, and made... More

My husband and I stayed at the Honu Kai for two nights upon first arriving on Hawaii. It was hard to believe that ALL previous reviews had been 5 star, but after staying there I understand why. Wendi and Dave have a beautiful home and really should conduct seminars for people wanting to host B&Bs, because they are so good... More

A 'Big Island' thank you for making our stay so memorable. Wendi and Dave are both amazing hosts which makes it hard to leave, they have thought of everything. We cannot recommend staying here enough, as the personal service is better than any 5 star hotel. You must stay here - you will not regret it.
