Halana Hale Vacation Rental

This is a home, not really a hotel. We were the only guests during our stay. The caretaker (who lives offsite) gave us excellent tips on visiting Volcanoes National Park. The setting, while remote, was exactly what we wanted - quiet and private. Our breakfast was "make it yourself" with items supplied in the refrigerator. Downside: Had to purchase the coffee. We were really pleased with the speed of the WiFi connection; we were uploading our pictures to the internet, and at other places we stayed, the connections was too slow to do that. The house was pretty cold, but that is to be expected as the house sits at about 4,000 ft elevation. All in all, a very good value and we enjoyed our stay.

The best Location (comfort, value for Price, garden, terrace etc.) I found in 3 weeks on the Islands. remark: the Location is hard to find, a detailed map on the link would be appreciated

The owner is very helpful with info about the National Park and other sights in the area. The location is very convenient to the National Park, about 10 minutes from 'downtown' Volcano, at the end of a long, very secluded road. You get a room, with a lock on the door, but otherwise, it is like sharing a large house with a bunch of other people - there were about 15 guests when we stayed. I imagine the quality of the visit changes considerably when there are fewer guests. The walls are thin, so at times you can be very aware of the other guests. The breakfast - fresh fruit, coffee, rolls, yoghurt - was good enough. Don't expect a lavish buffet spread and you won't be disappointed. The best things about the place are the location and the friendly, knowledgeable owner.

We had a great time here. The service was very nice, and we received some excellent tips on where to eat and what areas to visit. It was really pleasant.

Owner was very informative and knowledgeable. Gave great tips on places to go and things to see. Places to eat in Volcano. are scarce. There were no other guests there w hen we were there. The house is large, clean and well appointed. Skip the free breakfast and get it at Cafe Ohia.
