We had a wonderful time at Aloha Puna. Amy was a great host, very responsive and concerned about the quality of our stay. The house was exactly as pictured and the location was perfect for access to the rest of the Island. We stayed very comfortably for a month and never ran out of new things to see and do. Even the neighbors were wonderful, very outgoing, generous and helpful. The east side of the island does not have the snorkeling and surfing beaches of the Kona side but for everything else the Hilo side wins hands down. Volcano National Park, lava, lush tropical foliage, waterfalls, hiking, breathtaking lava cliffs, lava tubes, gigantic Banyan trees and on and on. Hard to imagine a better vacation.
