Hilo Villa w/pool- 16 guests max, hotel in Hilo

Hilo Villa w/pool- 16 guests max offers accommodations in Hilo, 2.8 miles from Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo and 2.9 miles from University of Hawaii, Hilo.

The house was absolutely perfect for our family gathering. We came together to remember our sister who passed away. We had 7 adults and 4 kids . The pool is great and the separate wing for part of the family was nice. Spacious so plenty of space to get together comfortably and we could all eat at the dining table together. The kitchen has everything needed and so clean and organized. And big enough to cook a big meal for everyone . The bedrooms have very comfortable quality beds and very nice bedding. Everything is top tier . Highly recommend to big groups. Good communication when we had questions also .

Aaron’s cottage, hotel in Hilo

Aaron’s cottage provides rooms in Hilo near Kealoha Beach Park and Carlsmith Beach Park. With a garden, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom.

Beautiful tropical location with lush garden. Spacious, clean cottage. Beds were comfortable and our kids liked having the curtain as a separator for their "room". We had everything we needed, and the staff was friendly and inviting, so we could have asked if anything was missing. There were small waterbottles and cookies in the cottage as a welcome which was a nice touch! The layout of the cottages gave us a really private feel, even when folks were in the neighboring cottage. We LOVED the secret beach. Mostly locals in a number of differently sized tidepools. Reef shoes strongly recommended!

    What a special place! This house truly felt like a home and was a very welcome peaceful experience after the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. We loved the cosy furniture, thoughtful touches like coffee and sunscreen, wooden floorboards, air con and spacious living. The location was close to downtown but still so peaceful. Would recommend this to anyone staying to Hilo, absolutely magical!

    We stayed near the Barn, in a cabin with communal bathroom and kitchen that the staff and work awayers use. The whole is stunning and really well kept, and we loved how private the cabin felt. The showers were great and toilets always clean. The staff were always supportive, and having access to a private waterfall and section of the river was a massive treat. We would definitely stay again.
