As I wrote in our review from a year ago, the Coconut Lanai is as lovely as the photos. It is light and airy, with ample space and all the functionality we needed for a relaxing vacation get away. Heather is a wonderful host: available when needed, and quiet and discrete when not. For us, Coconut Lanai makes a perfect base to explore the Puna district, Hilo and Volcanoes National Park areas. We'll be back when we can.
