Our visit to Hawaii was our first and what a great begining it was. Hale Palma was incredible from its location to the cooler we took on our adventures. I can tell that Charles and Kathy try their best to make their visitors feel at home. When we landed Charles asked when we would arrive at his home I told him a time but then decided to explore a bit before hand. Not only did he recommended some spots to see but he was absolutely fine with us arriving later. I think I surprised him a bit when I actually arrived an hour early but he still welcomed us with opened arms. We only got to stay 2 nights but I would have stayed our whole weeks vacation there. This side of the island is more raining (they even have umbrellas) which is why the landscape is so lushious and green and every morning I'd wake up to the the sound of the rain drops along with all the wild life just outside the door, it was a dream to wake up to. We used the kitchen every day for breakfast and dinner, they provided everything we needed, even a pizza cuter! Earlier guests had left snacks behind and the owners also stocked the house with some items as well. There was coffee and sugar, ice cold water bottles waiting for us, and even tea bags. I would recommend this place over and over again, it's a gem! Charles and Kathy bravo, you've done a wonderful job, please don't stop doing what your doing. Aloha and Mahalo.
