Strandhotels in Orchidlands Estates

'It is okay if staying with a short time.'

'The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the hostess was helpful and gracious. '

'Pros: I liked the location. There was easy access to Puna, Volcano NP, and Hilo. The owner gave me a 5 minute spiel on the property. Everything was in working order. Cons: I stayed at 4 different VRBO properties during my stay on the Big Island. All property owners except this one provided directions, check in instructions and check out instructions.

The washer and dryer was perfect for our week stay. The room stayed cool with the extra fans. We definitelywill be returning. '

'This is a gem of an Inn with the beach minutes away, so close that you can hear the waves! The property was clean and we had a balcony to sip our coffees in the morning. The location is excellent with the Hilo airport only about 30 minutes away and volcanos national park about 45 minutes. Andy was a great communicative host who gave us awesome recommendations of local places to see.'
