Hotel in zona Naupaka Island Designs, Hilo

This 102 yr old home, now B&B, was the perfect experience. From meeting us at the car and carrying our bags in, to all the amenities, to the great menu choices for breakfast, the friendly tips on places to go, where to eat diner, it was wonderful. The rooms were beautiful wood paneled luxury. Tastefully decorated and furnished. Within 10 minute walk to downtown. Quiet. Plenty of parking. Literally perched over the ocean. No A/C wasn’t a problem…the ever present ocean breeze was all that was needed . The sound of waves gently breaking below our room led to blissful sleep. Highly recommend. Grab the largest room if available…includes a cozy nook for relaxing.

The hotel is in a wonderful location and thanks to the architect perfectly fitted into the bay. The rooms have a fantastic view (we had a seaview room) onto coconut island. Although the hotel is a bit old, everything is still functional and clean. Hotel restaurant and bar are both comfortable, food is good. Our room was not made up although the reception promised to for the next day, each day.

Il marchio Hilton era il mio hotel di scelta. Dopo qualche soggiorno molto deludente verso la fine di Covid ho deciso di passare a qualsiasi cosa, ma Hilton. Dovevo stare fermo con il mio impegno. Come il poster precedente ha detto la nostra camera ($350) è molto piccola. I corridoi erano vecchi e disgustosi, mentre, entrando nella stanza, andai a guardare fuori dalla finestra, e c’era una vista di un tetto, di un grande buco di rifiuti e di un edificio delapidato con graffiti. Infatti ci sono diversi edifici abbandonati intorno alla proprietà, quindi la zona non è grande. Non hanno ancora custodia quotidiana. Ho fatto visita a Hawaii per 10-days ora e tutti i miei altri hotel hanno avuto pulizia quotidiana e è stato eccellente. Non c'è scusa per Hilton di non essere tornato a questo servizio. Questo è un motivo chiave per cui la gente vuole stare in hotel contro VRBOs. Hilton sta mettendo i risparmi nella propria tasca, perché le loro tariffe non sono state adeguate per riflettere la significativa riduzione del servizio. Fortunatamente, stiamo solo per una notte. Il check-in era bello e l'agente era amichevole. I terreni ( verso l'acqua) erano buoni. Sono d'accordo anche con l'altro poster, perché chiedo perché un canone di ristorazione per questa proprietà. Se si ottiene una stanza di vista sugli oceani e non si preoccupano della mancanza di servizio di cameriera allora si dovrebbe stare bene. Certamente non rimanere nelle stanze strane numerate nell'edificio ancillario o si vedrà il ghetto.

Hilo to me is an agreeably funky place and this accommodation is perfectly in line with that impression. It is set a bit away from the city's downtown, such as it is, in a residential area. The property itself must have once been a residence itself, and is divided into two parts, the original lodge and an annex across the street. We stayed our one night in the annex in a double room, which was equipped with its own bathroom, a microwave and lots of storage space, but no television--for that you had to access a common area, which also had a small kitchen. Definitely the place must have once been a house. The front desk is not open all hours and you have to time your arrival to accommodate this, but the staff member we met was extremely friendly and helpful. Arnott's also runs tours to various parts of the island that leave from the premises, one of which (up Mauna Kea to the observatories) we'd accessed several years prior. All in all Arnott's would probably not be your cup of tea if your idea of a Big Island vacation is the glamorous resorts on the Kona side, but for us the laid-back, peaceful atmosphere was perfect.

Top drawer experience at Mahana House Country Inn. Stayed at one of 3 cottages and found it impeccably finished and provided with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The view from the large lanai was amazing and was especially delightful at sunrise. The cottages feature an open plan with the bed and kitchen enjoying views out to the lanai and the ocean in the distance. The large Sleep Number bed with firmness individually adjustable for each side was so good we're now considering one for our home. The proprietor provided clear instructions on check in/out, usage and recommendations for shopping and dining. The location is great for a relaxing get-away, but shopping and dining are about 25 minutes away by car in Hilo. The expansive grounds include a large lawn and fruit orchard and a band of friendly cats who may stop by to say hello and troll for pets. No worries if you're not a cat person, they won't impose themselves. Laundry facilities, large communal living space and kitchen in the main building a short walk from the cottages.
