It was my husband and my first time in Hawaii. Iki Hono was the perfect experience for our first trip together. We loved the jacuzzi and the lovely ocean view from the bed. This was a lovely place to stay. We will def come back.

Lovely Home away from home

My husband and I loved Iki Honu, the cottage is the perfect getaway for two! Very well maintained with Lots of little touches that showed that the owner cares about the place. The Tidepools were an unexpected bonus; unfortunately the weather was so bad we could only snorkel once; same goes for the Jacuzzi. One little thing though: we arrived after dark in the pouring rain and the locks were a slight problem...
Very accurate driving instructions, though!
We'd love to come back when its not quite as rainy!

A close friend had rented this owner’s larger home up the coast, and had a blast. I had never been to the Big Island ( I’d been to Kauai years ago ), so my partner and I went for my birthday during the first week in February.
I was a little concerned that it might not be warm enough or that it might rain too much, but it was perfectly warm, and only rained briefly during one afternoon. In Hawaii, even if it does rain, it tends to come and go quickly. During several evenings it rained intensely, and I couldn't help but sing "In the Tiki tiki tiki room..." Tropical birds, chirping frogs, the wind thru the palms...vivid green geckos... We'll definitely go back to the Big Island / Iki Honu in February 2014 - it was a perfect getaway from the winter blahs and seven days just wasn't enough time to balance all of the things there are to do, and simply relaxing.
"Iki Honu" is just as everyone else has described - updated, clean, and fully stocked with so many of the little extra's that you might need. We enjoyed the hot tub on several occasions, and grilled giant tuna steaks and veggies from KTA market on the BBQ on a day that we had decided to stay close to home & enjoy the tide pools. There are so many cool things to do; you will be challenged to "do nothing"
Purchase the book "Hawaii, The Big Island Revealed" by Doughty and particularly read the section on Hilo & Puna to get familiar with the area and plot out your "must do" activities for your stay.
Pass on the cookie cutter resort, and stay at Iki Honu for a tropical adventure that you won't forget.

Perfect Seven Night Stay!

5 of 5
Submitted: February 22, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
My wife and I spent seven nights at this great place after spending 9 nights in South Kona. Iki Honu was the perfect ending to the trip. We loved having our own private place near Pahoa with the tidal pools right out the front door. The snorkeling was the best we have ever experienced and the number and variety of both fish and colorful coral was amazing! The location is also great for a trip to Volcano National Park, Hilo and the east coast of Hawaii. We spent each day with whatever activity we had planned, did some snorkeling, had a nightly walk around the area, jumped in the jacuzzi for a quick soak then enjoyed the large flat screen tv before going to bed. The residents and other visitors we met on our walks were all very friendly. The property had everything we wanted, the kitchen was very well equipped and we both loved everything about our stay. We would highly recommend this for others!
