What a serene stay we had at Hana Ocean Palm's Bungalow! Albert's place is charming, comfortable, quiet, and authentic Hawaii and Hana. It has a well-equipped kitchen, plenty of seating, comfortable beds, a nice dining lanai, informative books, genuine art, hammocks, and an outdoor shower under arching banana leaves.
The location couldn't be better. Venus Pool is literally right across the main road if you like heights, sheltered Hamoa Beach is an easy two-mile walk up the wide-open coast, and Secret Beach is, well, secret (ask Albert for directions to this gem). Kipahulu is 25 minutes down the road, Hana services 10 minutes up the road. Paradise.
Albert is laid back, informative, and gave us some advice that made our itinerary much more efficient and enjoyable. Reach out to him before your trip if you are not sure how to prioritize your activities.
Wish we could have stayed for longer!
