Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

8/10 Good
"Hotel has a beautiful view. The rooms are nice. The bed was not hard, but not over soft either and the pillows were good too. The curtains let in a lot of light and are not room darking, but that just makes it easier to get up and enjoy the day and explore the island although it is tempting to spend the whole day at the hotel. The hotel trys to very upscale, but the hallways make it look like a 2 star hotel. Staff are very nice and friendly. The restaurant is very expensive and didn't eat there because of the prices. There is a resort fee that is not included in the price and you have to pay for parking. Lots of "stray" cats, but since I liked cats I enjoyed them. The cats seemed to be friendly and not overly scared of people, but were not a nuisance. Room had a slight ant problem. House keeping sprayed the ants, but that didn't seem to make a difference. I just kept food in the refrigerator or in a zip lock bag it iwas opened. I did see a sea turtle in the ocean that was in front of the hotel. The hotel also allows guest to borrow snorkels during their stay. I didn't get to use them, but I am thinking snorkeling by the hotel might be nice. It is with in ten minute drive to Walmart and fast food restaurants and walking distance to a nice garden."

"Interior design nicely arranged, but pricey for what it really is. Clean, good communication with host. Location OK, close to downtown hilo, breach front if you have a car, but surroundings of the appartment are not fantastic, Table for dinner is tiny, can fit 2 guests but not 4, what made dinner as a family of 4 challenging..."

"Lory and Stewart were gracious hosts, and their property is a quaint island getaway! The room was clean and nicely furnished. The back yard was huge and beautiful. And the breakfasts served on the back porch were delicious and a nice opportunity to converse with the hosts and other guests."

Hale Kawehi B&B Guesthouse

Hale Kawehi B&B Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent
"This was an amazing house, with about 4-5 rooms all to ourselves. There was full kitchen and cooking facilities, and some snacks and cooking materials (milk, sauces, etc) had been left for us to use. Each room was an Aladdin's cave of souvenirs and oddities, attached to the wall or ceiling. There was an amazing little garden, with a pond, which had some very noisy frogs in it. There was veranda and porch, so we could sit outside and have a drink. It was like living in a hobbit house or something out of a fairy tale, and made the experience truly magical. Shops were a 20min walk or 5min drive away, but once shopping was done there was a huge fridge to store it all in. All mod cons were there, TV, aircon (in the bedroom), shower, wifi, etc. There was even a cheap laundry service with 24h return. It also had a free covered off-road parking space. If you want somewhere to stay that is truly memorable, stay here. It beats a boring hotel any day!"

"Spacious, clean hotel with daily breakfast with banana bread and delicious papaya. Friendly staff and the best part is you get the feeling of staying in a tropical paradise since the hotel is surrounded by lush forest even though it is in a small neighborhood. "
