Lopaka’s place, off of the historic Mamalahoa Highway in Holualoa, is a perfect spot for soaking up the local culture while also having easy access to Kailua-Kona. The two separate sleeping areas were perfect for my friend and I to each have our own bed, bath and privacy. Lopaka was an amazing host who came out to greet us when we arrived and was always quick to respond to any questions or special requests. His restaurant suggestions were spot on (Don’t miss One Aloha and Kona Coffee and Tea) and he recommended a great massage therapist (Mary) when my friends back went out. Overall, I couldn’t recommend his place highly enough and hope to return again soon. Mahola!
