The royal palm cottage was a truly memorable stay for my wife, my 6yo, 18mo and I. Laurel and Kalani went out of their way to make us feel at home. We loved the wonderful personal touches - like a princess blanket for my daughter, the homemade banana muffins, and fresh fruits. Laurel also let us meet with some amazingly cute new born puppies on their farm!
Laurel was super friendly, accommodating, and was very easy to communicate with. The place is very stylish with fully functional modern amenities you'd need for your visit. Fantastic hosts!
The location was also ideal for our exploration of the Hilo side of the island. Akaka falls, and a couple of highly rated zip-lining and botanical garden experiences are just a stones throw away. Hilo is also just a short 20min drive from their location. We were able to explore Rainbow falls, Liliʻuokalani Park and Gardens, Coconut island and Carlsmith beach park on a couple of leisurely day trips from this location. Would highly recommend Laurel's place.
