Ninole Vacation Packages

The host was excellent. Breakfast was handy. Location was perfect (was able to see an early morning eruption- 5 minutes to the park!) Room was large and comfortable. Lots of resources and books on site. Fridge for lunch/food and kitchen to cook if needed (reasonably stocked). Volcano is colder than Hilo - bring a jacket/sweater. Close to all the little local (delicious) restaurants. Volcano Forest Inn has seen better days. Place really need a deep clean and fresh paint in a few places. Hard to fight the forest and the rain. Could not beat the price and location. Overall very pleasant stay. And memorable trip.

This property was the highlight of our trip to Hilo. The gourmet dinner and included breakfasts were terrific. We will plan to come back!

The host was very friendly and helpful. See the place and experience the Island vibe.

Overall, experience is disappointing. Fell far short of the $360/night price tag. - Check-in Mix-Up: Entered our initial room and shocked that it was already occupied by another guest. After calling emergency support, we were quickly reassigned, but received no apology for the mix-up. - Room: The second room was nicely decorated with a comfortable queen bed, but it was very small, cramped with a tiny 4.5 X 4.5 feet shower stall. - Breakfast: Expecting a fresh, hot B&B breakfast (eggs, bacon, toast, coffee), we were served pre-packaged kids' items instead: boxed cereal, instant oatmeal, Capri Sun, and frozen French toast that turned rubbery when microwaved.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hoomakai Blessings, a lovely little bed and breakfast on the Hilo side of the big island. Kelly is a kind and gracious host who went out of her way to work with my unforeseen itinerary changes and I really appreciated her help and positive attitude. My bed was soft and comfortable and the outdoor hot tub was just what my sore body needed after a long trek around the island. Breakfast consisted of a delicious southwestern style breakfast burrito and homemade muffins with a nice assortment of teas and a constantly available pot of hot coffee. In case you forget to bring them, Kelly even supplies earplugs for the nighttime coqui frogs and the morning roosters. Mahalo nui loa Kelly!
