Volcano Hale

Room was spacious. Kitchen area exceeded expectations. Bed was very comfortable. Extra large walk in showern with celing rain knozzles was unexpected. Extra security lighting at night was very comforting. Being in rain forest there was noise from nacturnal creatures during the night.

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon while visiting Volcano National Park. There aren't a lot of options for staying in volcano. We paid about $180 to stay in room 101, which was a lot better than staying in the hotel in the park, which was sold out anyway. One downside was the lack of air conditioning, but the fans were fine. Would also recommend having a bottle of water in the room or a vending machine for guests. The jacuzzi was neat but didn't get warm enough.

I was able to bring my family out to Hawaii for two weeks while I was going to be on an assignment for several weeks there. We took two weeks of vacation in the middle, one week on the Bis Island and one week on Kauai. They flew in to meet me at KOA and over Saddle Road we went to Volcano Village. The Chalet Kilauea home we stayed in was a wonderful start - perfect access to Volcano National Park and secluded back in the neighboring rain forest, it was the perfect start to a great 2 weeks. Going back as soon as we can.
