Sandra's Vacation Retreat was exactly the tropical, relaxing vacation my fiance and I were looking for! Patrick was there to welcome us personally and show us around the unit when we arrived. Sandra and Patrick also left thoughtful tips and suggestions for beaches and activities throughout the Big Island. The lanai is a beautiful setting to eat our meals. Though Hilo can get humid, it was very cool at night and the fans were just perfect! Highly recommend staying here if you are interested in a more green and natural environment!
