“I LOVED HALANA LODGE IN VOLCANO VILLAGE”

My niece and I spent 1 night at Halana Lodge but I wish we were there longer. When I go back to the Big Island, I will stay there again, if they have room. The lodge is nesteled in the lush forests of Volcano Village just 40min south of Hilo off Hwy 11 and just 10min from Volcanos National Park. The lodge has 4-5 nicely decorated rooms, one of which looks like a honeymoon suite with a huge jacuzzi tub. There are 2 large living rooms, a nice size, fully stocked kitchen with a seperate dinning room and a fabulous back deck with a large bubbling hot tub. The night sky is amazing and, since it gets pretty chilly at night, the beds have heated blankets. The lodge was very clean and the inn keeper and his wife were very friendly and prepared a fantastic breakfast for us in the morning. A final note: Hilo coffee rates much higher on the Big Island than does Kona coffee.

“Going back and would definitely recommend it when visiting the Volcano region!”

We only stayed for one night, but would definitely go back and recommend it to others visiting the Volcano National Park area - no more than 15 mins away. VERY hospitable couple who provided us with a lot of insider information regarding our touring around Big Island. The beds were SUPER comfortable, the rooms and bathrooms, clean. A VERY comfortable stay and breakfast the next morning was delicious. We did not try the hot tub - as we were so busy - but it was available to us. Again, GREAT stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a a comfortable night in the area!! It is off from the "main strip" of volcano village - but close enough.

“Unique experience; a wonderful surprise that made you feel a part of Hawaii”

Just the kind of surprise B&B that makes a trip special. A large former family home turned B&B, made it comfortable and inviting. Location outside of Volcano led you into a part of island most don't see. Beautiful estate surroundings with lush green foilage. I would go back and spend a week there.

“Great Bed and Breakfast type Lodge”

We were greeted at the door for check-in and were asked what we wanted each morning for breakfast. Very accomodating and nice setting. Would be a great place for a group to go and have common space to share as well as private bedrooms and baths.

“Waiting to go back”

It was the best bed and breakfast we stayed in. was very clean and convenient to the national park. Hosts were very warm and welcoming.

“Great mountain hideaway”

The staff - Nancy and Mahi - were wonderful, helpful people. Very informative about what to see and how to get there. Breakfast was nice continental with scrabbled eggs. All guest ate together which was really nice for swapping information. The location is very remote if you are visiting Kalapana, Pahoa, or Hilo be prepared for 45-60 min drive one way. You are 10 minutes max from Volcano National Park. For me the drive was worthwhile as I wanted to be on the mountain away from tourist town noise and lights. The night sky on the mountain was mesmorizing.

“A relaxed haven away from the hurly burly.”

A great location for visitors who want to get back to nature without giving up all the mod cons. Easy access to the volcano, the rainforest and unspoilt nature. Not a jumping town at night, but enough to keep you out of trouble.

“Fine B&B”

Very comfortable. Nice hot breakfast provided by the host, who were very affable. Very quiet and out in the country. Absolutely no noise at night.

“excellent environment”

very quiet environment tropical forrest gives us relaxed vacation.

“Cozy but not completely comfortable”

While the B&B operator, Mahi, was very nice and helpful, the house itself was fairly old and musty from the wet climate. We stayed for a week and our towels never dried out and the climate at the lodge was much colder than down near the ocean. It was a great location for doing things in/near Volcanoes National Park, but a bit out of the way for getting elsewhere on the island.
