we liked a lot the hawaiian jungle hang out. It is REALLY in the jungle actually. outside of hilo. but i think it is very good to live there instead of in hilo. The landlord (liz) is absolutely adorable. she suggested a very interesting personalized itinerary according to the number of days we were there, to the fact we had a baby, etc. she is absolutely wonderful !
the place is huge and we were very comfortable there. very well-kept.
excellent option for your stay on that side of the island.
