The suite which is located between two most accessible and beautiful beach parks was perfect to feel Hilo vibe. We traveled from Honolulu to Maui to Hilo. The most differentiating experience from ours was staying in Maria’s house. It was local, authentic and pleasant. The bed was firm even though it was high for my leg to climb. A little worn out but well-kept furniture. Banana branch every morning we picked from was a new experience. Her garden is like rainforest with papaya trees, banana trees, pineapples etc. I would like to return and enjoy again soon.
