“Nice but not convenient and too many restrictions by the owners”
We liked the room and the breakfast was great. However we felt a little less than welcome with all the "rules" like "don't throw away trash in you room" and " don't put your luggage on the bed". What really put us over the top was being charged $10 a day for Internet only to find out afterwards that it was only accessible from the "common" room. It is indeed a beautiful property but it seems the owners care more about the property than their guests.
“Peaceful, relaxing, fantastic view”
Not usually a B & B fan, but this place is great. Beautiful house and grounds. Great service and delicious breakfast. Only saw our room in person and it was so nice. The website has many pictures so you do know what you are getting.
“Wonderful Getaway”
This hotel is 10 miles north of Hilo. It was wonderful. Very relaxing, very quiet, and you felt like you were by yourself in the paradise that is Hawaii. We almost did not come back home!
“A once in a life time experince, that was so good , we plan to do it again!”
The simply beauity of nature and old world charm hospitality make for a fantastic view of how the rich used to live at what is a very reasonable. no almost cheap price. It is great!
“Cream of the Crop”
It was more than we expected, quiet, peaceful, private, with spectacular views. It should be considered a 5 star Bed and Breakfast.
“Idyllic Setting”
Beautifully maintained rooms and grounds. Ocean view from rooms is fabulous. The 2 breakfasts that we had were quite good. Courtesy coffee is available to guests in the dining area. This was not made clear at check in. Coffee makers were in every room but coffee packets were extra. This probably was not a smart business move as some guests were offended. It would probably serve the owners better to charge a few dollars extra for the rooms and have the coffee available gratis. The owners were very nice and had spent so much time and love attending to details that it would be a shame for them to lose business over such a silly oversight. Highly recommended.
“Excellent stay near Hilo”
Great location. Very well-kept. Beautiful views. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommend it and would definitely go back.
“Exciting Trip”
The Palms turned out to be the quiet, romantic get away we had dreamed of. The personell were very friendly and and committed to providing great service to their guest. They provided great assistance in seeing the sights of the Big Island. Breakfast in the morning was excellent watching the sun rise while sitting in the lanai. We had a memorable time. Thanks
“Beautiful Hawaiian B&B”
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, more relaxing place to stay. The room, the grounds and the view were fabulous. The innkeepers were warm and gracious, and every aspect of their service was great. Each morning as we ate a delicious breakfast (e.g., pineapple pancakes with sausage and fresh fruit from the garden) on a lanai overlooking a deep blue ocean, my husband and I kept thinking "It doesn't get much better than this!" It was definitely the highlight of our Hawaiian vacation.
“Very Relaxing”
Once I read other reviews for this hotel, I knew that is where I wanted to stay. They did not disappoint. The view from the room is spectacular. We included breakfast because it seemed like other options for a hot breakfast were farther away than we wanted to deal with in the morning. We were glad we opted for the breakfast at the hotel.
