My visit in Hawai'i was nothing short of enchanting, having beginning our stay in Hilo at Eco hale cottage. Kaeo and Karl are the kindest souls I've had the pleasure of meeting; and their hidden oasis in mountain view is something I will not soon forget. Being completely new to the island I was pleasantly surprised with a surplus of information and tips provided in the cottage (including first hand experiences, anecdotes and menus!). I felt more than at home, welcomed and warmed with hospitality. I will be dreaming of the lullabies of the coqui for weeks to come. :)
