if you want to star gaze at night with your significant other - they have a great hot tub that allows for perfect star gazing outside. when my husband rolled over at night while sleeping, I felt the motion quite a bit and it sometimes woke me up). We slept comfortably but would have much preferred a larger bed or a mattress that absorbed motion better (i.e. They only reason I gave Ka'awa Loa 4 stars (wish I could give 4.5 stars) instead of 5 stars, is because I think the mattress could be improved. Overall, we found the room to be very clean and comfortable. We highly recommend showering outside in the lava rock showers - the lava rock showers are beautiful and it's a great feeling to shower with the warm sun and a cool breeze against your skin. Even though we didn't have our own shower, we were always able to get a shower when we needed one. Perfect spot to watch the sunset! We stayed in a room with a half bath - so we had to shower in either a shared bathroom or outside in the lava showers. Best papaya I've ever had! Also, if you happen to be at home around 5pm, they often serve evening appetizers which are very tasty. They make a wonderful breakfast and it even includes fresh fruit from their garden. Michael and Greg were great hosts and made us feel welcome in their b&b. Their location is very convenient to many places and there is great snorkeling just minutes away. Beautiful plantation (true to pictures) with a wonderful lanai that overlooks the ocean. Very happy that we stayed here instead of Kona.

We had an excellent stay here and would definitely come back! We used Ka'awa Loa as our base as we explored the Kona side of the island and the volcano park. My husband and I stayed here for a few days in December.
