My girlfriend and I had a great time staying 2 nights in the cacao room at the Hamakua chocolate farm. We love everything about the experience. Book the stay as soon as you can before this place gets too popular. Here is a quick summary of what we like about this place:
1. super new&clean room with ocean-view: while we were looking for a place to stay that is close to Hilo, a lot of the hotels seen old and some Airbnbs look too remote (no bathroom attached). The cacao room really stood out as the room itself is excellent with oceanview. Already missed the feeling of waking up by the morning bird songs and enjoy the sunrise from the cacao room.
2. Modern design farmhouse: The building is a piece of art. It is so interesting to hear the story of constructing the building from Dan and saw the amazing blue lighting while driving back to the farm in the night.
3. The host Dan is friendly and thoughtful: Dan welcomed us to his place with a small bite of chocolate (of course, we are staying on a chocolate farm). We are amazed by all his small but thoughtful surprises: champaign in the fridge (we are celebrating 2 year anniversary), some fruit juice and experimental chocolate flavor popcorn.

4. Chocolate farm tasting experience: we decided to go on his chocolate farm tasting tour. It was great to learn about how chocolate is made, walked around the property, and tasting some delicious chocolate. There are a cool tree house, a swinging bridge, and a river right on the property. Make sure you check that out.
