Cody’s place doesn’t feel like it is a mile from downtown Hilo. It feels like a Japanese-style spa in the middle of a rainforest.
The room is spacious, stylish with top of the line fittings and sitting areas. The deck outside is not private (right next to the common dining area) but is beautifully created. There is a separate covered lanai that overlooks the waterfall.
The breakfast was hearty and Cody went out of his way to accommodate my wife’s dietary restrictions. He was very communicative throughout and provided some great recommendations for things to do close by. Just know that the window and door privacy is a bit lacking, the blinds don’t cover the full width - that was the only drawback for us. Nothing too bad though.
Would definitely recommend staying here while in Hilo!
