This Hilo property is in a quiet, residential neighborhood, nestled in a tropical garden. It is just a few minutes walk to several beautiful coastal parks. Though it is not within walking distance to shops and restaurants, it is only 10-12 minutes to the city center by car. This is a full service B&B, not simply someone's guest room. Claudia was a gracious host. She met us upon arrival, oriented us to the property, and asked if we had any special needs. She clearly wants her guests to enjoy themselves. She provides snorkeling equipment, lawn chairs, and beach towels for guests. And when I realized I left my wallet, including cash & credit cards, in the room when we flew home, she shipped it to me without complaint. And she serves the best breakfast, always with fresh tropical fruit! We stayed 5 nights and wish it could have been longer.
