We loved our stay at Lauren’s Rainbow Inn! It is exactly as the images & posting describe- no surprises here, the WiFi & cell service were great. The place is really beautiful & nicely decorated, has an ocean view, is clean & very well stocked with utensils & basics for cooking, along with quite a few extras. What’s really cool though, is staying in the lava field & being able to walk across the lava to the ocean cliffs. And the rainbows! We saw 3 in our 3 nights there, plus a moonbow for the first time in our lives!
Lauren is an amazing host, super kind-we loved talking story with her. She showed us her gardens & shared bananas & soursop right off the trees with us.
The Rainbow Inn is close to Pahoa, Mackenzie State Recreation Area, Kehena Beach, Uncle Robert’s Night Market, and Pohoiki Beach, and Hot Foot Photography (a tiny, but must see “business” at the end of the road just past Kalapana Gardens). It’s also not too far from Volcanoes National Park & Hilo.
We loved it here!
