Our stay at the jungle hangout was really cool. It was like having a home away from home. It was extremely spacious and even though it was just my husband and I, we enjoyed the privacy and the awesome rainforest sounds. Having your own kitchen to cook breakfast and your own washer dryer makes life way easier on a trip. It's pretty close to the beach, you could even walk there if you wanted to walk about 30 minutes. It took us about 2 hours from Liz's place to the other side of the island. I recommend knowing exactly what you want to do so you can plan it out well so you don't spend too much time driving. You should definitely go to mauna kea. It's huge and amazing. Overall her place was kind of dated but had a family vibe to it and was very clean. Also felt safe. Would recommend.
