We loved our stay at Hale Amakihi. The area is gorgeous. I've stayed a few times in HPP area and the location is great. It's a short drive to the volcano as well as to Hilo town. So much to explore on Big Island and this is a great base for setting off on adventures. The five of us fit very comfortably in the 2-bedroom house. Wendy was very accommodating and a gracious host. We also loved the cat, Mango!
