BOOK THIS NOW! My husband and I try to visit the islands once a year around Thanksgiving for our wedding anniversary. The Big Island has quickly grown to be our favorite, and we were so excited to read reviews of Eco Hale that we booked our stay even before we booked our flight. We were blown away with the accommodations, finding the amenities extremely thoughtful and convenient, enhancing our stay and leaving us wanting more. Keao greeted us upon arrival and gave a quick run-down of the place, then left us to explore. There were notes acknowledging our anniversary spread throughout plus a bottle of wine to celebrate. I loved the feedback to "touch everything" and I was happy to oblige. We showered, cooked, took a bath on the lanai, climbed the beautiful koa tree platform, and read Hawaiian books provided for us. I had even forgotten a toothbrush and was pleased to see one available. Details like that really made this place feel special. Some food and snacks were provided, many of which you could tell were home-made. We loved all of it! The details and descriptions provided in the posting, in follow-up by Keao and Karl, and upon arrival are accurate and extremely thorough. I appreciate that level of care. This is truly as close to a resort feel as you can get being off the grid in the middle of the rainforest. Endless thanks to our hosts for extending their hospitality over the holiday weekend. Mahalo and aloha!
