The lush location with the view of the sea was beautiful. We were celebrating a friend''s birthday and knew all of the guests at the main house and the cottages. It was great to have enough space for everyone. The unit is on the rain forest side of the island and as such is lush and colorful. We were close enough to the attractions we wanted to see -- Volcanoes, Mauna Kea, Hilo, and the east coast of the island.
