I had the most amazing time at KMEC. I had first reserved the Papaya Cabin #1, but upon arrival asked if the Dragonfly cabin was available and if it would be possible to change. The owner Leonard who is a incredible gentleman was more than helpful, and rearranged my reservation pronto. While the Dragonfly cabin was being prepared we had a nice talk and he even drove me to the Thermal ocean pool Park, which is close to KMEC. The Staff is also super nice, you're up for great company and nice talks at the community kitchen with guests and staff members, specially Henri, Abby and Joey. Now, the Dragonfly cabin, is a whole experience in itself, I loved it. It is really like sleeping in the jungle, the sounds of nature, night, day, rain... I absolutely loved it and so did my boyfriend who arrived some days later. The Big Island has many amazing places, but I could go back just to enjoy staying at KMEC again. If you are planning to go to the Volcano Park, Thermal Pools, Tide Pools, or even Akaka and Rainbow Falls I highly recommend staying at KMEC. On Wednesday nights there is a local Hawaiian street party at Kapoho, I didn't go but has been told that it is really nice, if you're there on a Wednesday ask the staff information about it and enjoy your time at this very special place : )
