"Gracious hosts, wonderful breakfasts and coffee to start each day, fabulous views and no two sunsets are the same. "

"The pool was chaotic. It appeared that many locals sneak in to play after school or on the weekend. Learned this firsthand from a mother and daughter one day and another father and son the next. Midweek the pool shenanigan situation was mild and overall had an enjoyable time. Unfortunately things took a turn for the wild side on Saturday. Herds of large families (4-5 children of all ages per group) flocked to the pool. Kids were chucking sand and playing loudly. Having loud kids of my own this is fine - as long as they are paying customers like myself. The hotel is not that large, so you tend to notice those staying at the hotel versus those who pay for a “day pass” or sneak in. Emphasis on the sneak in part due to the lack of Hotel provided wristbands (room keys were also affixed to wristbands). Now kids will be kids - and that’s fine and part of staying at a family friendly resort. What was really insane was on Saturday observing a full blown adult flight attendant walk over to the child’s section of the pool to relieve herself next to where my children were playing in the “sand” section. Considering what I saw was shocking, I walked over to a neighboring sunbather to see if they noticed the same thing to which they confirmed and were in a similar disbelief. Behavior was reported and the attendant was escorted back to her room. Outside of the clientel, the resort was well maintained and the mantas at night were a real treat. Rays by the bay should reopen!!!! "

"All the staff we met onsite were very friendly and helpful. Great place to stay."

"What a unique place! The grounds were wonderful. Loved the "new age" vibe. "

"A perfect start to our Hawaii trip! After a long day of travel from the mainland, we arrived at Kona Palace and were warmly greeted by Rebecca. Our room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. After a good night's sleep, we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast served on the lanai with amazingly beautiful views. Rebecca provided fresh fruit from her property (including fresh-squeezed orange juice), homemade granola, eggs, taro rolls, and more. After breakfast, coffee, and good conversation, we were on our way, but I would have loved to have stayed here longer. 5 stars!"

"Lovely place with great view. Hope to visit again some time."

"BEAUTIFUL!!! We decided on a last minute trip to the Big Island. We didnt really want to stay at a resort. So glad we came across Gingerhilll Farm Retreat. We stayed in Monkey Tree tent. The bed was so comfortable. Probably the best bed ive ever slept in besides our home one. We live on a farm so this place was a littler more noisy for us. Lots of frogs going off and a very abnoxious rooster that i feel needs to go in a stew pot.or be moved away from all the cabins. He starts crowing around 2am. Other then that the place was amazing. If your afraid of the dark and big spiders(harmless) this place is not for you. But if you want something off the wall and not a resort or you want a trip thats not going to hurt the pocket book i highly recommend Gingerhill Farm Retreat. Oh we are not a young couple. In our 50's and this was one of the better trips we have been on. So laid back. "

"Our cute yellow bedroom was adorable. We spent evening hours out on the lanai - Reading out on the lanai was so relaxing! Listening to all the nightly chirping was cool. Emma cooked wonderful breakfasts that started our days eating upstairs on their outdoor patio. Carl shared all the fruits around their home that Emma used. Location was great - we went to one beach 2.5 miles south and saw fish and a sea turtle. Snorkeled at step down beach - cool fish seen. We ventured 15 -25 min for evening meals. Note: downtown Kona parking charges $15/hr - we stayed for one hour to view all the artisans at their art show. Again great b& b - highly recommend!"

"My husband and I had a wonderful time at this property. The hosts Kevin and Carol were outstanding. We felt pampered and relaxed. The pool and the view were beautiful. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. We hated to leave."
