A truly unique place to stay. We stayed in the Hale Kilauea room, and we loved feeling like we were deep in nature, and disconnected from the world. The lodge was quiet and felt very private. Be prepared though, you really ARE disconnected. There is little-to-no cell signal on property, and their WiFi is barely operable. If we needed connection (and we did), we went into the main ***** of Volcano to find it. The room was comfortable, and reasonably well appointed. Staff was friendly and helpful. The four starts (vs. 5) are for a few issues: 1. There were no screens on the windows, so we couldn't open them to get fresh air into the room (unless we wanted to deal with mosquitoes). 2. Breakfast was convenient (delivered to our room refrigerator the day before), but wasn't very fresh by the next morning. This was especially apparent with the cut fruit. 3. We had a few maintenance issues in our room, which they responded to well once we told them.
