Lovely little location with amazing views. Only downside was the detergent that's used is extremely fragrant so the whole apartment smelled very strongly of it. Other than that we absolutely loved our stay.

Fantastic view from the lanai and fun to watch the nearby surfers. Loved hearing the coqui (frogs) at night. No A/C but does cool off a bit at night if you open all the windows. Since this place is a couple miles from town it was great to have the provided, daily breakfast (fresh fruit, yogurt, muffins, hard boiled eggs).

Great week long stay on the Big Island!

We chose to spend our entire week with Pele at Hale Kai as our center of operations; couldn’t have been more pleased. Comfortable accommodations, great breakfasts provided, easy access to everything in Hilo, and a fantastic setting. Would do it again without hesitation.

Short stay in a beautiful location

The views were gorgeous, loved sunrise and watching the surfers from our deck. The property was a little dated but that’s what I expected, so no surprise. Quite a bargain for the location and views and breakfast included.
