About this property

Oceanfront in Hilo Hale Kai Suites- Pele Suite - King Bed, Living Room, Bath

Come visit and see our gorgeous 2024 room renovations! Beds, furnishings, art, decor - everything is ALL NEW. The amazing ocean front view remains the same ;-)

Please note: there is not a working hot tub at Hale Kai. It was decommissioned in early 2024 and removed from all of our advertising. It's mentioned in many reviews and we cannot alter or remove those, so there's been some confusion.

Hale Kai Hawaii Suites offers four oceanfront rooms (booked individually) and a spectacular, panoramic view of the blue Pacific Ocean and Hilo Bay. We overlook the popular Honolii surfing beach in a peaceful location just 2 miles north of historic Hilo Town. Revel in the best views in Hilo while at our pool and oceanfront lanai!

The Pele Suite offers a garden view bedroom with California king bed and separate ocean view sitting room with a Hawaiian style loveseat, table and chairs, kitchenette (portable one burner cooktop, microwave, small fridge/freezer, coffee maker, hot water pot, dishes, utensils, pots and pans), WiFi, SMART TV, private bathroom with shower, ceiling fans, portable fan, no air conditioning, and sliding door to lanai. Please note: Sitting room has ocean view, bedroom has view of small walkway garden. Continental breakfast items are stocked daily and we invite all guests to swim in the pool or lounge on the oceanfront lanai.

A few NOTES: One parking spot is provided per room in this quiet residential neighborhood. All Guest Rooms are facing the ocean on the lower level of the property and there are over 20 steps down (pictured) to traverse to the rooms. Guests are responsible for carrying their luggage to their rooms. Bookings limited to 2 guests per room (age 13 years and over). Quiet hours are 9pm to 8am for the comfort of all of our guests, Mahalo!

While at Hale Kai (House on the Ocean) Hawaii, enjoy watching surfers, dolphins, and seasonal humpback whales during their annual migration to the Hawaiian Islands from the north Pacific. Hale Kai Hawaii is recommended in the leading online sites and guidebooks for the Hawaiian Islands, including TripAdvisor, Frommer's, Fodors, Lonely Planet, Off the Beaten Path, Ulysses, Rough, Moon, and Hawaii, The Big Island Revealed.

Excellent spot for East side of island
We stayed five nights here while visiting the Hilo area. It is a beautiful spot. We saw whales outside almost every day and enjoyed watching the body surfers from the deck. The views are amazing. Having a light breakfast with fresh fruit each morning was a nice touch. The place is spacious with a good sized bedroom, nice sitting area, small kitchenette and a small bathroom. It all looks fairly updated and in good condition. Lots of storage for suitcases and clothes. About two miles into downtown Hilo so very easy to get around. The weather was quite cool and wet while we were there so we didn’t use the pool or hot tub. The parking spots were a little tight but it never seemed like all four spots were being used so there was room to manoeuvre! Any question we had was responded to via email very promptly both before and during our stay. We would recommend this place as a nice quiet oasis for visiting Hilo and surrounding areas.

Great week long stay on the Big Island!
We chose to spend our entire week with Pele at Hale Kai as our center of operations; couldn’t have been more pleased. Comfortable accommodations, great breakfasts provided, easy access to everything in Hilo, and a fantastic setting. Would do it again without hesitation.

Coqui, surfers and cruise ships
The Pele suite at this property was as pictured on VRBO. Great access to Hilo and all Puna district and Hamakua coastline. The communication with the on island management, (Saltwater Vacations) could have been better regarding a couple of issues during the stay.
