Joan was a very gracious hostess. She provided us with a delicious, healthy breakfast our first night and was in great communication throughout our stay, answering our questions and providing us with little amenities (a broom, some dish soap, chairs to take to the beach, etc.). One night, an air raid siren went off and she texted us within minutes to let us know she'd called the police and discovered it was a false alarm. The room was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed, and the location couldn't have been better. We greatly enjoyed how centrally located Waimea was. We'd absolutely recommend Joan and the Jade Guest Room to anyone looking for a relaxing place to stay on the Big IsIand. We certainly hope to be back!
