Sam's place is fantastic. Since you need a car to really see everything on the island, it is a perfect home base. Easy drive to Hilo town and Volcanos National Park and I was also able to easily make it to the Kona side of the island for a couple days of scuba diving. Both the northern and southern routes to the Kona side were fantastic. Very easy to take day trips from this location. The suite was very clean and comfortable and nicely designed and Sam was very easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay here again if I ever make it to the Big Island again, and I hope I do!
