Eco Hale is simply perfect: clean, cool, comfortable and loved. The attention to detail in the design of the space and all the equipment provided is remarkable. Seriously, I had absolutely everything I needed -- including things above and beyond like coffee, papaya, avocado, filtered water and chocolate. And there seems to be an invisible orchid fairy wandering around in the jungle who delivers fragrant and fresh-picked flowers every time you turn around for more than a second.
Eco Hale is at a perfect location if you want to explore. Very easy access Volcano National Park. (I even hiked to see the lava from a point nearby -- amazing!). I also visited the hot ponds, the Portlandia-like little town of Pahoa, took yoga classes in Hilo, jaunted down to Kalani retreat center, saw the glowing crater late at night under a starlit sky, the Black Sand Beach, the Green Sand Beach and more...
I thought about asking Kaeo and Karl if they would adopt me forever and ever, but all good things must come to an end. Don't worry about the rain, or the fact that you cannot walk to a white sand beach, or the lack of bars serving up Mai Thai in the immediate vicinity. None of these things are an obstacle. Come see what this luxurious little jungle cabin has in store for you.
