"The property overlooking our ocean view was spectacular.
We so enjoyed ourselves.
We came to Hilo after 20 + years for a family wedding and was very much peased"
"This property is a beautiful location and offers a variety of activities. The staff was very helpful and willing to be of service. I would recommend this property to anyone!"
"Stunningly well designed and maintained. Super relaxing. Extraordinary helpful and kind staff. Ridiculously good food. For us it was truly worth the marginal extra cost. When we went, it wasn't *that* much more expensive than the other properties but is by far the nicest. Nice snorkeling right off their beach which is one of the only sand beaches around. A large family pool and a very nice adult pool. Excellent rooms. Just beautiful."
"Place was nice. They have lovely four cats and that’s the one of the main reason why we like this place. They also provide all useful gears for guests to use like beach chairs, sunscreen, snorkeling gear, laundry stuffs, etc. The only thing I would like to say is the orange cat’s eyes has some illness issue. There is a lot of discharge in his eyes. We also have cats, and we believe this can be treated. Please take them to doctors if you can. Thanks a lot. We want to come back next year to see the cats again."
"The place was well maintained and the kids loved the pool/ waterslides. Parking was easy and our access to the Hilton Waikoloa Village was a plus. Only down side was that the restaurant closes too early and the maid service did not replace bath towels. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again."
"Bring mosquito repellent. Waterfall was nice. If frog croaking sounds bother you bring ear plugs. I found it peaceful. If fact I found a frog in my room the first morning."
"The room was beautiful. The staff was more than friendly. The spa was amazing. I would definitely recommend to family and friends and I will definitely stay there again."
