My husband and I had planned to come to Hawaii with the intent of staying here but the pandemic happened so we had to wait. We nearly missed this place. Glad we waited for this place reopen for our first visit to the big island!
We came here after spending 4 nights at a huge resort in Kona. We paid 10x the price for our room in Kona but lava Lookout beats our Kona resorts in all aspect. We did not miss Kona at all while staying here.
What we loved about this place was its rustic feel. We booked the Pele room and had the pleasure of waking up to seeing the sunrise over the lava field. It is a view that you will not be able to get elsewhere.
The room itself looks modest but has everything you need and more. The internet works better than our former hotel’s. The shower was nice and warm. Most of all, the bed is super comfy. Once our heads hit the pillows, we slept like babies.
We found this place perfect for our Volcano National park adventures. I am now writing this review from another resort in Hilo and can honestly say, the lava lookout is the best place to be on the big island.
Thank you to our lovely hostesses for an amazing stay!
