We are a British-Japanese family of 3 generations spending our holiday together on the Big Island.
We found Villa Paraiso to be a perfect setting to unwind and to enjoy our time together. It was special being very close to the lava action yet we felt very safe and completely unaffected by the hazardous air which was blowing in the other direction. The house is a good base to visit Hilo and it’s attractions and the charming Pahoa. Unfortunately some of the beaches and rock pools we would have liked to visit are out of bounds due to the lava flows.
Overall the house is fresh, clean and comfortable. The kitchen has all gadgets needed. The garden afforded enough space for our young boys to expend their energy and the pool and the jacuzzi was much enjoyed. A short walk away are lovely rock pools on the coast.
Our host, Yvette, was lovely and gave us all the information we needed especially concerning the ongoing lava flow which helped us design a fun week full of great and safe activities.
Many thanks. We very much enjoyed our stay.
