What an amazing experience my husband and I had while staying at Cody's Bed and Breakfast on the edge of Hilo, Hawaii. Upon arrival we were greeted by the sounds and sights of a beautiful tropical landscape, river and cascading waterfall on the large property - Wow #1....Then we were shown our room/suite by our warm and welcoming hosts. Airy and entrancing with the late morning sun streaming through the bank of windows facing into the tropical landscape. It's vaulted ceilings, light colored walls and richly colored hardwood floors made for a relaxing and tranquil environment. I slept like a baby. The bed was incredible and I'm really fussy-Wow #2 .... Did I mention the bathroom's huge shower with natural stone flooring, the large private deck and extra room for a second couple or children. Wow #3 was the breakfast outside on the deck the next morning overlooking the river and waterfall. A fresh tropical fruit plate decorated with exotic flowers and arranged beautifully included passionfruit, pineapple, papaya and those extra sweet tiny Hawaiian bananas. "Would you like a waffle? " Yes we would and it was delicious especially after we topped it with the fresh fruit and yogurt. There were muffins, cereal and of course pots of Kona coffee. OMG!!! We were in heaven. Special thanks to the Cody Welsh family, Chrissy and Sean who are really the reason we will go back again. Their aloha and warmness during our stay made us feel like family and will have us returning again and again on our frequent trips to the Big Island.
