Hale Pama is comfortable and wonderfully appointed with everything you need for your stay. Charles and Kathy were very welcoming, and we enjoyed our time very much. The cottage feels very secluded but is accessible and about half an hour drive to Hilo or Volcano National Park. The cottage is fastidiously clean. While it has no air conditioning, the ceiling fans and breeze through the open windows made for a very comfortable stay. We would definitely return the next time we are on the Big Island. Maholo!
