Comfortable apartment, amazing snorkeling right out the front of the apartment. Very relaxing, enjoyed listening to the waves and frogs each night. Hilo is a wonderful destination if you are interested in nature and the less tourist side of Hawaii. Unfortunately it rained the entire time however that only impacted on out of water activities and we were aware of this before we went. Plenty of tips given in welcome manual. Only downside was old pillows in the main bedroom.
