Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

6/10 Okay

"it’s a nice location, but there’s a lot of construction going on not only in the surrounding landscape but also inside the hotel. There’s a resort fee being charged every day and it’s really just a simple pool. Nothing fancy I wouldn’t say it’s really a resort. A resort really does have quite a few other amenities. There’s only one restaurant and room service only comes every other day. also, for those people who are in a balcony room in the front of the hotel, you’re going to hear a loud buzzing noise every time he goes, sit on the patio from some transformer downstairs."

Grand Historic Hilo House

10/10 Excellent

"This is an exquisite property, beautifully maintained, full of historic charm and artwork. It sits on an island in the middle of the Wailuku river, with gorgeous views of the waterfalls and river immediately adjacent to the property. There are four large bedrooms, en suite upstairs, one on the main floor, just off the dining room, and another downstairs. It’s an easy walking distancing to downtown Hilo with all of its charming shops and cafés, and a fabulous farmers market. The house is so elegant and beautiful maintained that it’s a real splendor of a place. It’s well equipped with a modern kitchen and all the accoutrements to make it fun to stay in and cook fabulous dinners with friends. There is ample seating in a variety of common areas each of which is so relaxing and beautiful. We hope to stay here again."

Escape to your private oasis perched on a cliff with a jungle view

10/10 Excellent

"We throughly enjoyed our stay. The owners greeted us with a small gift for our anniversary (was was yummy). They also provided us with a link to watch the fountain eruption happening at Kiluea. Parking was a breese and the accommodations were great for 2 people. The view is lovely and you are just far away enough from town to feel like you are in the country but close enough that you are anywhere within 5/10 minutes. "

Jungle view bedroom with private entrance,outdoor private Bali style bathroom

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed this property. It’s an excellent choice if you don’t need a kitchen for food prep. The room was nicely finished and furnished, it had everything we needed. It overlooks a large jungle-type landscape with a lot of island vegetation. Just beautiful. Hannah and Tanner were very responsive to any questions we had. A really nice experience. Mahalo!"
