We loved our time here. This was our last place on a six week, four island trip and was the perfect ending spot for us. The location gave us easy access to Volcano National Park which is an amazing place to explore for days and the little town of Volcano is close for food and supplies (Kilauea Lodge and the Thai food truck highly recommended). We did go to the top of Mauna Kea from here which made for a long day but the drive, by way of Hilo, was an easy one with little traffic. The place itself is really special too. It's very modern, comfortable, open and spacious with so many windows you feel like you're outside in the jungle but safely sheltered. It's very quiet and peaceful here. The surrounding jungle with the huge ferns and Ohi'a trees seem very primitive and native Hawaiian. You almost expect a dinosaur to walk past the window. You see a lot of nature here too including pigs and Kalij pheasants and wild orchids and other exotic flowers. Just a wonderful place. Mahalo
