I was greeted warmly by Kaeo when I arrived. There was such a wide variety of complimentary and homemade treats from Kaeo that I felt staying there was such good value. Eco Hale is immaculately clean and the bathroom was one of the best I've ever stayed in. I liked how Eco Hale is isolated from the road, in a rural area, and out of the tourist area, yet a good point for exploring Puna and Volcano and Hilo. There is nothing I would change about my experience at Eco Hale other than I wish I had stayed a few days longer as it was relaxing and one of my best memories on the Big Island.
