Eco Hale is such a magical, fairytale place. You're tucked away in the middle of a rainforest and it's the perfect base to explore surrounding areas e.g. Hilo, Volcanoes National Park, the black sand beach.
Kaeo and Karl were warm, authentic hosts. They thought of everything -- we didn't have to rent any equipment for snorkeling, spelunking, or boogie boarding as everything was provided. There were binders full of travel tips. There were books on Polynesian myths. There were warm blankets and fuzzy slippers. There were delicious treats and surprises throughout our stay.
Highly recommend Eco Hale for anyone looking to stay in a rainforest surrounded by everything a rainforest offers: rain, privacy, chirping frogs, singing birds, and beautiful greenery.
