Guest Reviews:
- "A good place to stay. Very nice Staff. Thanks again to Emma! The Ray manta snorckel was great! The only think you Can improve IS to be able to turn off the light in the corridors so WE do not have light Coming through the Window. Great stay overall!" - "Super nice staff and great set up!" - "Great experience." - "The staff overall was very friendly. The property was fixed up nicely, good secure lockers, and fun things to do in Hilo. The free tours were a great surprise. I enjoyed the Kona Beach day, Green Sand Beach hike and the chasing waterfalls (twice). Cool people from around the world... Very Spective Earthian!"
