Manolo exudes kindness and thoughtfulness and his place certainly reflects that — little details like coolers and snorkel gear and towels ready for use upon arrival. (All the things that are tough to fit in your carry on luggage!) The location was absolutely perfect to explore the national park and Road to Hana (saving almost 2 hours of drive time from the other side of the island and leaving more time to explore!), as well as very close to Mama’s Fish House. We really enjoyed experiencing Hawaiian culture outside of resorts and seeing more of the upcountry area, too. Manolo’s place is beautifully maintained, lush, and the perfect launching place for adventure. Would definitely stay here again. Mahalo, Manolo!
