Orchid Tree Bed & Breakfast - Featured Reviews (22)
This was one of our favorite stays in Hawai'i! Definitely contributed to our peaceful and relaxing holiday.
The room is luxurious with great amenities and the bed was super comfy. The place is a slice of paradise and gives you a sense of comfort and relaxation.
There is fresh fruits and breads for breakfast each morning. The pool is super handy. Steve & Su were super friendly and helpful.
The location is also 👌 - the beach is a 3-5 min walk away, great for surfers. Note the beach is of the rocky variety.
It's a 5 min easy drive from downtown Hilo - which makes it super convenient.
First of all, the B&B is nice and clean. The garden is cute. But in the night it's impossible to sleep because of the frogs (or any other animals) which were very loud. We needed to leave earlier because of that and another personal reason. We informed the owner and the only reply we go was: "please provide your cvc code from the credit card". They told me they sent me a message but i haven't received one. They also didn't reply anymore on booking. com. So their communication is really rude any they have definitely no Aloha vibes. They charged us the whole amount, which would be okay, if their communcation has been more polite.
The breakfast is a grab and go, continental style, breakfast. Don't expect a full cooked meal. Other than that the place is amazing. The location is perfect, close enough to town to be there quickly but far enough away to be peaceful and quiet.
The place was near downtown, which made it easy to get to anywhere in hilo area and go to beach park for snorkeling. The room was very comfortable with clean bathroom. A/C worked very well, but we didn't need to turn it on for the whole length of stay because of excellent natural ventillation of the house. Breakfast was simple with bagels, cereal, fresh fruits and hot coffee. Microwaves were available and we used it to warm rice for poke.
Would highly recommend! Stayed here for our honeymoon for 4 nights. Walking distance to a surfing beach where we enjoyed watching the sunrise. Also a short drive to restaurants/shops.
Very nice private space with beautiful shared outdoor patio/breakfast space and pool/hot tub. We enjoyed talking with other vacationing couples over the lovely breakfast with fresh fruit each morning. Steve was a very kind and gracious host!
This place is probably the best to stay in Hilo. Steve and Su are the hosts and gave us the best experience of first time using AirBnB. The location is next to the beach so the views were incredible, but it was the quiet that made it the most memorable. Add to that Steve's knowledge about the island and advise on things to do. The house is convenient to the most popular sites and activities. We watched a beautiful sunrise our first morning. All we had to do was stroll over the beach. Our room was decorated with a combination of hula figures and pictures of hot lave pouring out of a volcano. Tour books are in the room to help plan your days. Breakfast provided was healthy choices and shared with the other guests, so we made new friends. They also shared their experiences of spending a lot of time on Big Island. No pictures can capture that kind of experience, nor can any hotel. |
What a wonderful place 🌺 I could have just stayed by the pool in the garden to watch the birds, gekkos, orange butterfly and dragonfly, such a peaceful atmosphere! Steve let us borrow his surfboard, very sweet! There is a very nice beach at 4 minutes walking distance to watch turtles swim around or swim/surf.
Our biggest regret from our Hawaii trip is not staying another night here! ||||Steve was a wonderful host, who met us and showed us around our suite and the lanai. He checked in with us at breakfast each morning, but wasn't overbearing--happy to let us enjoy the beautiful property without interruption. We had a great time in Hilo, but it was sometimes hard to convince ourselves to leave the B&B--it was tough to beat eating breakfast and then reading out on the lanai in their absolutely heavenly garden.||||Our room was large and clean, and the AC worked great. No issues with bugs or dust. Bed was a little firm, but even as a side-sleeper I had no problem falling asleep and woke up rested. ||||Breakfast had standard continental options (bagels, English muffins, etc.) with a little Hawaiian twist (guava and lilikoi jellies)--but the real showstopper was the fresh fruit. The fresh papaya with lime was so good it had me researching whether I could grow my own papaya tree back home! ||||We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit the Big Island!
This was an excellent place to stay. The breakfasts were amazing, the grounds are incredible, the location is great and the rooms are cute. The details are very clear and straightforward on the website. The lack of A/C was not a problem for us.
So thankful we stayed here, got a completely different and intimate experience from our first half of our stay in Waikoloa. Our room was right off of the front porch so we had a nice area to sit and unwind before dinner each evening. Brian and his wi
I was able to drop in while visiting town and had a great time. The staff, coaches, and training partners were friendly and welcoming, and the gym has a great atmosphere. Great place to train in Hilo.
