We had a wonderful time at Mangolay. Paul, the host, was very welcoming, informative, and friendly. His dogs were also really friendly and playful. Paul was really good at responding to our messages in a timely manner and made sure we knew that if we needed anything, to ask him. The room (and the whole house) is beautifully designed and decorated. The garden and outdoor areas are a tropical paradise. I would highly recommend Mangolay if you are looking to spend a few days in the Big Island.
