We thought bed and breakfast, waterfall, fantastic! However, you have to realize that being on the edge of the rainforest carries some penalties as well. First, there are lots of insects. These aren't usually a problem during the day, but at night if you're outdoors and lights are on, watch out. Second, all of Hilo has to collect rain water... More

My wife and I took a short vacation from December 16 untill December 24. On our 2nd day away, we had a housekeeping disaster as you can see from the comments offered by our guests that arrived on December 17. We fired this housekeeper the day after this occurance. We are very saddened by the experience these guests had. We... More
