Our first time to Hawaii as a family. The location worked well for us, about 10minutes from downtown Hilo, about 15 from the beaches. It suited our small family just fine, my 7 year old enjoyed climbing the steps up to the loft bedroom. It is definitely a climb to the upstairs bedroom, be prepared.
We enjoyed the night time soundtrack, coquí frogs starting a little before sundown.
It rains quite a bit in Hilo but most times it was a light shower for us and. it too cold out.
Rain also means some mold comes along with it which goes for most of the town.
Ron responded to our message promptly when we had a request.
Overall the jungle getaway was just that a get away from home for us and we enjoyed it thoroughly.
