Volcano House

Volcano House

This hotel is located on the rim of Kilauea Caldera inside Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Reopened in 2013 after a three-year closure. Before that it was the longest “continually running” hotel in the state. Volcano House opened across the street in 1846 (which...

Volcano Inn

Volcano Inn

This resort is an excellent choice in Volcano. Don’t confuse this with other properties with similar names. The grounds are lush. The rooms are not overly Hawaiian in decor or updated, but they are very clean. Though the rooms vary greatly in size and amenities at...

Dolphin Bay Hotel

Dolphin Bay Hotel

We find this hotel quaint and comforting with helpful staff and a hotel cat (that has his own guest-filmed YouTube video). It also helps that it's one of the better bargain hotels in Hilo. Rooms are clean and have complete kitchens. No phone in your room, but you...

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel

This used to be the best hotel on Banyan Drive, but it's got new competition over at the Grand Naniloa Hotel. It's hard keeping things pristine in moist Hilo, and the interior of the hotel feels significantly more luxe than the outside does on your drive up. Their...

Wai‘ula‘ula at Mauna Kea

Wai‘ula‘ula at Mauna Kea

These two-story condo buildings in a gated complex were completed in 2006 and house four units each (and a couple of duplexes not in the rental pool). The units are very spacious and richly furnished. Wolf ranges, Subzero fridges, granite countertops, double drawer...

Kilauea Lodge

Kilauea Lodge

Opened in 1937 as a YMCA youth camp, this quaint lodge was converted in 1986 by Albert and Lorna Jeyte. (He was a makeup artist on Magnum P.I.) The whole thing was very well done and lovingly maintained, but it switched hands in 2018 for $4 million (we assume this...

Villas at Mauna Kea

Villas at Mauna Kea

Completed in 1982, these 21 single-story individually gated condo duplexes look like stand-alone homes but are attached by one common wall. Drive up and you’ll feel like you‘ve entered a 1950s-style home complete with garage and flat roof. It’s not the facade that...

Grand Naniloa Hotel

Grand Naniloa Hotel

The Grand Naniloa underwent renovation in 2016, but we have a feeling that the $30 million changes are just the beginning for this snazzy resort, and we look forward to their future with… curiosity.  The hotel is clean, spacious and modern (though many things have...

Kilauea Hospitality Group

Kilauea Hospitality Group

Chalet Kilauea is part of a larger collection of properties that have been through lots of changes over the years. The Deluxe Bungalow is two-story; a wooden spiral staircase leads to the bedroom with its dreamy view and is the most private. The grounds are lush...

Kona Islander Inn

Kona Islander Inn

Designed more like a hotel than a condo (but rooms are individually owned and some are timeshare but they have a rental pool available, so we're calling it a condo), these basic rooms lack a full kitchen. Just a microwave, coffee maker and small refrigerator. Some...
