The Big Island of Hawaii is known for its fertile soil and abundant crops, and it is in this setting in Captain Cook that At Rainbow Plantation welcomes its guests. The fertile hills of the Kona Coast that surround the hotel yield beautiful flowers, delicious foods, and stunning views as the mountain gives way to the beach. This hillside boasts some of the finest and most varied representations of nature in the Hawaiian islands.
The hotel makes excellent use of its seven acres as both a place to vacation and as a working macadamia and coffee farm. Visitors can eat all the macadamia nuts they can pick up as they stroll through the animal sanctuary to see the many native island birds, small horses, and potbellied pigs housed on the grounds. The large common lanai is a perfect place to arrange a tropical fruit plate and enjoy a sunset. Guests who seek true sanctuary will be intrigued by a feature rarely found in small hotels: an outdoor temple with an Art Deco stained glass picture of the Madonna and Child, perfect for communing with the spirits of the islands.
The plantation's four guest rooms are perfect for a relaxing holiday in Hawaii. The Fern Room features a comfortable soaking tub, garden and ocean views, and a king size bed. The Peacock Room in the main house has a private entrance, and guests can take in the view of the forest and ponds from the comfort of their queen-size bed. The Hale Huna offers a private lanai for enjoying drinks by the garden. The multi-level Crow's Nest has a bedroom on the top floor, and a living room with refrigerator and television. Ocean views make the Crow's Nest tops for vacation enjoyment.
This hotel is a perfect blend of busy industry and laid-back Hawaiian calm. Visitors who want to experience the Big Island as it truly is--good people in small towns working closely with nature--will delight in their stay At Rainbow Plantation.
Price Range: $88 to $108 per night (plus tax) for single/double occupancy.
