We were looking for a quiet place on the Hilo side of the island, and this was perfect for us. We loved that is was so peaceful and fairly isolated, while still being a short drive to Pāhoa. The outdoor area is well appointed with the hot tub and bar area. Definitely a nice retreat for a few days. There's some really good restaurants and bakerys in volcano national park is roughly a 45 minute drive, quite scenic. Malama is very responsive and accommodating. Would highly recommend!
