This is a great place to stay in Hilo. It is quiet and safe. The view from the balcony is fantastic. We watched whales and dolphins jump and spin (using the binoculars of course). We saw sea turtles and swam just a few hundred yards from the condo. The bed was comfortable and it was great to have laundry facilities in the unit. The kitchen had everything we needed. We cooked at home a lot. It is four to five miles to get groceries. We walked to Richardson Beach often to snorkel. We also went to Volcanoes National Park quite often to hike. We are looking forward to returning next year.
