Ryan provides a nice clean communal space for your stay. You're in a jungle, it's beautiful, wild and constantly moist. There are waterfalls and storybook valleys right around the corner. If you want to escape the never ending drizzle drive down to one of the beaches on the coast side. The biggest recommendation is to stay at different places around the island. Stay at the Hilo side for a couple days and check out the valley and waterfalls then stay at the Kona side and go to the beaches. We stayed here for 2 weeks and it was great but we would drive 2 hours to the other side of the island.
