4 Bedroom Farmhouse + Guesthouse Retreat 180° Ocean Views North Hilo
"We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It was peaceful and a nice getaway but still close enough to Hilo. The view of the ocean every morning as the sun rises is so special. We loved meeting all the adorable chickens and ducks. The accommodation itself is simple but functional with all needed amenities. ..."

Howzit Hostels Hawaii
"Great location in town of Hilo. Warning to people like us who saw it advertised with Air conditioning. There is NO AC at any room in the hostel, including the private quad. If coming in the summer, it can be pretty hot. Also the place was very dusty and the fan they provided us was filthy. Bathrooms ..."

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton
"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 ..."

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton
"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."
