This review is long overdue, but the proprietors of this property deserve a shout out. This property was absolutely stunning. Nestled in the rainforest, the October evenings and mornings were cool and crisp, and quiet, but teeming with sounds of wildlife. We were provided with tasty pastries and fruit for our stay. In the daytime, we ventured to the black sand beaches, Kilauea, a farmer’s market, and nearby towns. We absolutely loved our room, which had a fireplace, very comfortable beds, small kitchenette, and good supply of local snacks, local non-alcoholic beverages, and french press coffee and teas. Our stay at Crater’s Edge was the highlight of our Hawaii vacation. Next time we are in Hawaii, we will definitely find our way back to this property. Our only complaint is that the hot tub jacuzzi wasn’t working…..they were waiting on parts to repair it. Highly recommend staying here.
