Sonja & Alex are amazing. They are so kind & helpful. I mentioned that I was surprising my boyfriend for his birthday & they kindly offered to help me surprise him. They had tons of recommendations for us. At their place there is a very helpful guidebook if you want to go out & explore the big island. They put a lot of time into making Lava Hale such a special place. There are so many little & unique details. Perfect place to get away, relax & take in the beauty of the island/Mother Nature. Lava Hale is a must for me! Such an amazing experience & place to stay❤️
