Find hotels in Kona Paradise, Captain Cook

"Anything but luxurious!Kitchen sinks were horrible. They definitely need replaced. Stoppers for kitchen sink were broken and one missing. Blinds upstairs didn’t work. No privacy. A couple of the pieces on the vertical blinds were broken and laying on the floor. Several of the blinds had signs on them that said do not operate!! Bedspread in master bedroom had numerous holes in it. Very threadbare. The lanai was filthy and in need of paint. Contacted owner/host. He wanted pictures of everything. I sent pictures. Thanked me and never heard another word about any of it. His main concern was that we turned off the a/c when we weren’t home!!We were asked to wash and dry all the towels before we checked out. Are you kidding me??? Seems like we paid a substantial cleaning fee!!!I’ve stayed at numerous places on the Big Island over the past 35 years and this one was unbelievable. Never again!!"

"The hosts were great and the bedroom clean and comfortable. Fresh breakfast was served. It wasn't easy to find since Google maps gave a wrong turn but I called and the host gave me good directions. "

"Great place to stay. Restaurant was great, pool was wonderful. Rent a car- you will need one to go anywhere."

"Staff was friendly. No housekeeping during our stay. Room was very large and quite outdated. We noticed some reviews mentioning cockroaches but we decided to try it out. We found a few dead cockroaches during our stay. The room had a strange smell as well. The amenities were nice, we enjoyed a hula show and learn to hula class. We were allowed an early check in and they held our luggage after check out. Overall very average and they likely have a cockroach problem. "

"The view of the ocean was the best part. The spade itself has what you need as a base of operations. The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. "

"A wonderful location perched above the lava ! The house was super spacious and the crashing waves were a delightful way to fall asleep! Mike provided some great pointers for day adventures - particularly The secret black sand beach! "

"Dragonfly Ranch is a welcoming and beautiful place. I look forward to returning one day."

"Beautiful resort! "

"The host was very welcoming and took extra steps to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The house is a well designed, well thought out place making our stay very relaxing and peaceful. The ocean can be viewed from every room. It was exceptionally clean and well stocked."
