Words alone are not enough to describe the wonderful time we had at Ocean Paradise. Saul is a wonderful host, and we were fortunate enough to meet him. The views are stunning, the lanai the place you will want to live, the beds supremely comfortable, the amenities abundant (no need to worry about beach essentials, coolers, etc. or any other for that matter), and the location spectacular! We were traveling with two of our adult kids to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, husband’s bday and daughter’s college graduation. We were very pleasantly surprised to see a bottle of bubbly in the fridge for us - a lovely, thoughtful gesture. From here you can take a short stroll (or drive) to Honoli’i Beach Park and watch the surfers, enjoy the beaches of Hilo (we loved Onekahakaha Beach Park), the rainforest zoo, downtown Hilo and the open air market, fabulous seafood (oh, and try the beef jerky from George’s Meat Market), Akaka Falls, hiking to Onomea Bay, the scenic 4 mile drive and more. And then you get to come back and relax at your wonderful home away from home, enjoying the wonderful views of the Pacific and downtown Hilo. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to someday stay again!
