Hotell med pool i Kalapana

“The location and people are wonderful The only place I will stay when visiting the island going forward”

“Great stay in a secluded location. ”

“This property is beautiful; the grounds, gardens, steam vent trail and thermal hot tubs are so well maintained and unique. The bungalow has everything you need to take advantage of the local fish and food and stay in, but also close enough to Pahoa to go out. Located in a beautiful and remote part of the island that is very worth exploring! Mahalo”

“Sue is an excellent host. She went above and beyond in communicating with us and making it so enjoyable. The cottage was exceptional! She provided everything we needed and more. It was so quiet. I never heard a car drive by. She made check in and check out a breeze. I highly reccomend staying at the Sweet Retreat! We'll definitely go back again, can't wait!!”

“Lovely grounds, with Steam vent nature trail, Steam heated hot tub and adjacent Bathroom, located lower on site. 4 cottages grouped near highground, but provide nice privacy details via curtains... Pick the cottage with the amenities you desire. Kalo the resident greeter is a sweet white goldendoodle that added to the experience. All staff are friendly and helpful but mostly invisible. Fabulous place to feel the quiet. ”

“Good location for exploring east side of the island. Pool was a big hit with the kids. A bit noisy with nearby construction during the day, but assume that will stop soon. Loved the variety of birds and flora. Easy hike down to the ocean. Property description was accurate. Owner was responsive.”

“We chose this lovely home because it is relatively close to volcanoes NP and Hilo, and because the multiple bedrooms worked well for 4 adults and two teens. The tropical jungle forest surrounds the property. It is a couple minutes walk down to a gorgeous black sand beach. The beach requires climbing down natural rock steps, not a problem for us but might be for some. The waves are very big here. The young adults/teens had a blast boogie boarding and playing in the waves, but they took a beating...

“Everything was perfect!! I can't think of a single thing that was not provided. We really appreciated the welcome gifts of some of the local products, and the guidebook was very helpful. Wonderful hosts!! Thank you so much!”
