Our favorite place of our trip. And the most affordable. It’s a handmade cabin in the jungle - if you’re looking for the Hilton maybe stay back in Hilo or Kailua. The rain on the roof sounded great, the frogs were a comfort, and the stars were total knockouts on the clear nights. We loved it. It was comfortable and homey and private but close enough to neighbors to allow natural interaction if you wanted. The area has a lot going for it - lots to explore. Pahoa is maybe 20 minutes away, a very nice black sand beach just a short drive, Hilo perhaps an hour away, and the same for the national park. Highly recommended.
