Mel is an amazing host. He loves to make fabulous breakfasts . I am not a BIG breakfast eater and he graciously offered me lots of fruits : papayas, oranges, tangerines, starfruit, baked breakfast breads , . Quintessential host. Loved his tips on 2 historical sites to hike to . Breathtaking. It is a lovely place to stay in Hawi… with a view of the ocean, abundance of birds.. much aloha.
