Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I would recommend you look elsewhere. Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews prior to booking this place. Read the reviews and find a accommodation that is far superior to this. For my military people Kileaua Military Camp is about the same cost and must more peaceful. I would recommend the the military camp and the cost is very similar! God speed in finding safe and reliable travel for this place needs to be condemned. The staff have no integrity. The photos are inaccurate.

There are enough parking spot for the hotel which is one of the good things, but the area around the hotel doesn’t look safe at all. The room conditions are not the same as shown in photos. In addition, there are windows but no curtains for them. If you really love nature, you can probably take this since the crickets were singing all night and they were really loud.
