I loved my stay at Hale Pama. The location was perfect for exploring the Volcano, the coast and Hilo. Charles and Kathy were wonderful hosts. I knew they were available anytime and this was reassuring as I traveled solo. I felt secure and the accommodation was comfortable and clean. I wasn't interested in "roughing it" or being off grid. I wanted comfort, Internet access and a kitchen. And all of this was provided. This was my first airbnb experience and the rest will have big shoes to fill! I'm so glad I didn't stay in a generic hotel in Hilo. Thank you for having me.
