This place is a magical paradise. Each evening we would sit out on the lanai as the sun would set. We really felt like this is such a good vacation spot. Planning family vacation we try not to center ourselves in the middle of a tourist site and this was in just the right location. We were able to go to Hilo for some fun family snorkeling and to eat out at Jackey Reys some days, and bbq some skewers while shaking up our own MaiTai on other days. We really enjoyed the quiet space and the dark skies. I recommend staying on this side of the island, trying local fruit, and supporting the local business in Pahoa!!! We will be back!
