The place was easy to find with the directions provided by the property. We loved being so close to the park and getting to explore the volcano areas during our short visit. Oatmeal, fresh fruit and coffee provided made a great breakfast and the fresh baked banana bread was an added bonus! I would highly recommend the Aloha Crater Lodge to anyone wanting to be close to the volcanos national park.
