We felt right at home as soon as we arrived. Hale 'Amakihi was a retreat and an ideal location for exploring the Hilo side of the island. It was an ideal accommodation for our family of five. We loved the country feel and our boys thoroughly enjoyed all of the animals including Mango the cat! The basket of cars and games were a perfect touch that we made great use of. We highly recommend and hope to return on our next trip.
