Lava Lodge at Hale Kilauea

10/10 Excellent
"If you're looking for a resort or regular hotel, this isn't isn't it. This is a cabin in the woods, far enough from the highway that you can't hear it. It feels more isolated than it is. It's incredible being surrounded by nature! Coqui frogs serenade you to sleep every night and birds gently wake you up in the morning. The rain on the roof is a soothing sound and the cabin is built excellently! The oven is useful for cooking or reheating leftovers. And while the water from the tap isn't drinkable, they give you a gallon of drinking water daily. Definitely check in during daylight hours (which they strongly recommend) because google maps will get confused and tell you to take a non-existent route to your cabin."

The spacious room with its tropical décor feels warm and inviting, and the sunroom overlooking a lively duck pond adds a peaceful charm. With ducks, chickens, cockerels, sheep, and goats roaming the grounds, the property feels lovingly crafted and uniquely farm‑like, making our stay both relaxing and distinctive — but it’s best suited for guests who enjoy animals and don’t mind a farm‑style environment."
