It doesn't get more rainforest-y than a river with waterfalls outside your front porch! Loved, loved, loved the coffee and other amenities to help get us started each day. The falls outside the porch were a lovely backdrop, especially when the sun hit them just right. If you don't mind a stroll, the Hilo downtown/waterfront area is only a 20-minute walk away. In our few days here, we adventured to various parks, waterfalls, botanical gardens, lava tubes, restaurants, and volcanos! This was such a great home base for our rainforest adventure.
