Hawaii Island Resort

We attended a family event in Na'alehu. To our surprise, Hawaii Island Resort was about 5 minutes away. We only needed a place to sleep overnight. This was perfect! Although we coudn't explore the property as we checked in very late at night and had to leave first thing in the morning. The service was excellent! Someone waited up for us. When we checked in at 9pm, a gentleman met us at the front door and gave us the grand tour. After settling in, I learned that my phone charger was not working and I had less than 7% charge left! Yikes! In the morning, The owner went out of her way to find a charger that would fit my phone. Now that I was able to survey the property in the daylight, I was a little sad that we were not staying a little longer. The expansive property is beautiful. The guava and mangoes were in season, all available for the guests to pick. (They even had a fruit picker for your use!) I saw that other families were there, taking advantage of the recreational amenities in the main house. I look ofrwrad to returning with family and more time to enjoy the area.

So much to explore and we wished we had more time, we stayed a few hours :-(. Maybe a $100 per night sale per night every once in a while. Great place if you like wildlife, dogs ( large poodles, Great Pyrenees, etc.) nature sounds that will penetrate glass windows. Alex met us at the door and showed us to our room so we felt welcomed to their farm house and left us a print out in case he missed us. The cold, salt water pool with water slide, floats, LED lit, was nice after a long travel day. 23 minutes or so from the Papakōlea Green Sand Beach. EV charger/extension chord from the pool area would make it so awesome for this EV dessert ;-) A tub for used mugs plates would be nice so we know that they will take care of the dirty dishes. Also, plates , bowls and metal eating utensils would be nice since we want to travel sustainability whenever possible. There’s an outside refrigerator and coffees, teas, hot chocolate station with macadamia nuts for guest is so well thought out. Games, fun activities, a movie home entertainment area, outdoor shower. Fruit Picker, yellow in color, beckoned us to explore before the night floods in. After sunset solar flaming lamps flickers along the pathway through the manicured thick grass, orchard, we were fortunate to taste a pink guava, my son grabbed it from me since he loved the favor so much. Other creatures were also sharing the abundance of this 8 plus acres estate, up to the pine tree line, Alex mentioned.

Nice & quiet location short distance from major highway. Arrived late but got very nice greeting & tour of property. Large space with lots of trees. Was able to pick fresh fruit & macadamia nuts next morning. Property did not offer breakfast but had nice long porch & seating to drink coffee/tea in the morning.

It was tucked away, very private, very lush and quiet. (with exception of the little frogs with big voices…but by day two we barely noticed) During our stay, we rarely saw any other guests, even though there were vehicles. The hosts are part of a program called World Packers, I believe, and there were young adult volunteers who helped at the property for a place to stay and life experience. They were warm and friendly and so helpful.

The pool was wonderful - so nice after a long day, and also first thing in the morning. cool outdoor shower. Beautiful grounds
