We loved everything about our stay. It's quiet, beautiful, and close to the lava fields and black cliffs on the Pacific. it's about 45 minutes from Hilo, a little over an hour to Volcanoes NP, and 2.5 hours from Kona, so it's more of a getaway from the bustle of the rest of the island. Nearby is a great farmers market on the weekend, and Isaac Hale Park, which is wonderful at sunset. sunrise here is ALWAYS worth getting up for! We loved our time here and will definitely be back!
