The dome is a stunning, off-the-grid, romantic getaway. The indoor/outdoor space was a great chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and other distractions. Enjoying morning coffee on the deck or hammock was super relaxing. We enjoyed hearing the wildlife and watching geckos run around the outdoor canopy.
Note: if you’re renting a car, a higher vehicle might be a better option, as the driveway is loose lava-rock gravel, and a lower car could get stuck.
If you’re looking for the more traditional or touristy Big Island experience, this isn’t it. It truly is off-the-grid and about 15 minutes to the nearest gas/store/restaurant and probably 35-45 minutes to Captain Cook area.
Overall, it’s a great stay, and would recommend to anyone looking for a private island getaway!
