We loved staying here! We wanted to stay in a quieter, truly Hawaiian setting rather than in a run-of-the-mill, impersonal hotel.
We found Mel’s to be tranquil, roomy, well equipped, with a wonderfully warm host - famous for his delicious, signature breakfast!
This place is located up on a hill with beautiful, long porch where we enjoyed morning views of Maui, sky divers and even breaching whales.
We also really liked being close to Havi, it’s history, and it’s shops and restaurants.
If this is what you’re looking for when you come to the Big Island, this is it.
