Hale Laulea was the perfect place to stay to start our trip to Hawaii. We arrived after dark and Jennifer gave us a brief tour and then we settled in to sleep wonderfully with the Coqui frogs chirping. The next morning we watched sunrise and then Chad gave an awesome historical tour of the area (former sugar plantation property) and amazing tips for things to see.
The property is about 15-20 minutes from Hilo, so if you want to be in the middle of action, this isn’t for you. If you want a true retreat, stay here! With several locations throughout the property that have absolutely breathtaking views and placing to relax, a pool on site, and an amazing beach within walking distance, you can’t beat it!
