The perfect honeymoon destination

Volcano Eco Retreat was the perfect last stop on our honeymoon. It was quiet, relaxing and so romantic. Emily was so helpful with providing local recommendations for hiking and things to see. The vegan breakfasts were AMAZING! So so delicious. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat - it was the perfect location between Volcano national park and Hilo / waterfalls to the north.

This resort is no longer open, however we were not notified by E prior to arriving onsite after booking well in advance. Luckily the staff were very nice and explained the situation, but we had to make last minute accommodations to stay elsewhere which was not fun after a long day of traveling. Lesson learned: either book directly or confirm bookings outside of Expedia since their notification system is not reliable.

Emily and her partner ( I forget the name) we’re amazing hosts , and will off course. The place is so cozy and unique. The breakfast was some of the most amazing vegan food I’ve ever had. This is definitely better than some of the best resorts out on the big island. 10/10 recommended for anyone interested to stay near Hilo or even the big island.

A beacon in an otherwise rushed world.

Our stay.....what to say......our hosts were wonderful and thoughtful down to the smallest details. Each morning we were greeted with fresh French press coffee, homemade bread and fresh cut fruit....thank you Scott! Our room was simple, immaculate, very comfortable and quiet....perfect atmosphere for rest and relaxation. Robert and Scott made our first vacation in the rainforest unforgettable and I truly appreciate their attention to detail.....in a world of quick, quick, fast, fast, MVR is a breathe of fresh air.
