After a loooong flight it was great to touch down in Kailua-Kona and even better when we arrived at Hale Sakai. Kelly and Francesca have created a clean, well-stocked and welcoming place to call home while you explore the Big Island. We immediately felt welcomed by their warm greetings and genuine interest in our travels. Kelly was also kind enough to give us a ride to pick up our rental car - it's the little things! They also managed to find the right blend of being available to answer our questions while also respecting our space. And being animal lovers we couldn't help but be a little smitten with Rose and Fugee. It was so nice that our first days in Hawai'i were spent at Hale Sakai. Mahalo, Kelly and Francesca.
