We stayed at Eco Hale for four wonderful too short days and nights, and we LOVED every minute of our time there. Kaeo and Karl have created a paradise in a rain forest for travelers. Their attention to detail is impeccable. The whole place, indoors and outside, is sparkling clean, comfortable, and filled with little nooks of beauty everywhere. We felt sad to have to leave when our time was up, and the morose feeling lasted awhile. If we can ever get back to Hawaii, we definitely know where we are staying then! As to a few particulars, Eco Hale is several miles off the main road between Volcano National Park and Hilo, but the drivein and out is not unduly. The overall location is advantageous. We LOVED living off-grid while there. There was never a shortage of water ...hot or cold... or electricity. The bed was so comfortable! All was exceptional.
