We had a wonderful time at Kealakekua Bay. We enjoyed the open balistyled cottage very much - it is something special and adventurous - unforgettable! We liked the sound of the ocean and the closeness to nature. It is the perfect place to go swimming with the dolphins and to explore the bay by SUP or kayak. Karen was a very friendly and attentive host. When ever coming back to Kealakekua Bay, this is definitively our place to stay again. But if you look for a standard hotelroom... this is not your place. This is a real alternative gem! Thanks a lot to Karen - Mahalo, Andrea & Christoph
