Sandra's place was truly a mini paradise! Sandra had the lights turned on when I got there which was after dark. The room was spacious and comfortable. The Lanai is covered with soft lighting. The landscape is beautiful. There are night creatures that make such exquisite sounds I slept with the window open so I could hear them. Check out Maku'u Point, 1 mile away (not much parking but watching the sun come up will make it worth while). If I needed a place to stay while passing through the Hilo area I would absolutely stay again.
