From welcome gifts to everything we needed to swim, snorkel and enjoy Hilo, The Outrigger met and exceeded all of our needs. It is spacious enough for six, centrally located and very comfortable and homey. If you came from the south of the mainland, don't expect central air anywhere in Hawai'i, but there was a portable unit for the master bedroom that cooled the place well (not needed by evening). Don't neglect this side of the big island; it has great snorkeling, wonderful poke and shaved ice, and a more laid back feel than Kona.
