This guesthouse is a fantastic place to call home for a few nights while exploring the Big Island to enjoy some peace, quiet and relaxation in the country just outside of Hilo. The cabana is a fantastic "glamping" experience in a hostel type setting. I felt very welcomed and safe as a solo mature female traveler sleeping in my cabana. The location provides easy access for exploring Hilo.
I am an avid camper who enjoys both the backcountry and stays at luxury hotels depending on the type of trip I am adventuring on. This is the perfect getaway when you want to enjoy the simplicity of a "glamping" camping experience with a kitchen to cook in, a hot shower, easy access to explore the island, security of personal belongings and welcoming staff.
I would suggest bringing your own personal camping sleep mat and sleeping bag (personal preference). I love relaxing/napping in a hammock, but was unable to sleep in one overnight comfortably. I was thankful that I did bring my own personal sleep mat to use on the floor so I could sleep soundly listening to the coqui frogs and quiet hilo sky. The linens were also not thoroughly cleaned from hair (saw hair in the blankets), although I do know I saw the staff washing them/hanging them dry (hair is likely from air drying vs using the dryer). This is common for a eco-friendly guesthouse.
Overall, I will absolutely return to a Cabana when I visit the Hilo area!
