We visited Bananarama during the first week of May, 2018. Our stay coincided with the beginning of Kilauea's eruption in the East Rift Zone and a number of large earthquakes including Hawaii's largest since 1975 which measured 6.9 on the Richter Scale. That said, and in spite of everything going on nearby, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Rob & Bob's Bananarama Cottage. Rob & Bob were the best hosts. Living on the property, Rob & Bob were around to make sure that we were safe and well cared for. It was obvious to us that our safety and well-being was their number one priority. Rob & Bob were always available to communicate and responded very quickly to all messages. The Bananarama Cottage itself was amazing. Tons of space, high speed internet, self-contained water (a huge plus when surrounding public works are down!), top notch amenities, free snorkel/beach gear the place truly has it all! We really enjoyed the refreshing outdoor shower. On top of everything, Rob & Bob provided hundreds of recommendations on what to do and see while in town. We highly recommend snorkeling in the Wai-O-Pae/Kapoho tide pools--some of the best/safest snorkeling we've ever done. If you are thinking about visiting the area or have already booked and are unsure due to the current volcanic conditions, reach out to Rob & Bob for any questions that you might have. They will get back to you ASAP and will definitely answer your questions truthfully. Thank you again for everything, Rob & Bob. We can't wait to visit again! Hopefully next time we can buy more of your delicious fruits/baked goods from your stand!
