Note that the mosquitoes are terrible (they LOVED to chase me) and the space can be persistently damp. There wasn’t an A/C or dehumidifier, which may have helped with that. We had all the fans on (ceiling and two floor fans) to try to circulate the air better, which helps a bit. Overall, the space is clean, the kitchen works well for cooking, and the location can’t be beat for Hilo. It’s a beautiful spot and within a short drive to downtown. Randall was VERY helpful with local things to do. We ended up doing a horseback tour with Na’alapa Stables in Waipio Valley per (one of) his recommendation and it was excellent. He also communicates well so you won’t be left without knowing what to do.
Use the DEET - couldn’t sit on the lanai without being bombarded.
