This modern hotel offers panoramic views of Mauna Kea and the serene waters of the Pacific Ocean, making it an ideal choice for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure. Guests are welcomed with the signature DoubleTree cookie upon arrival, adding a personal touch to their stay.

One of the hotel’s key advantages is its proximity to local attractions such as Rainbow Falls, Liliʻuokalani Park and Gardens, and Banyan Drive. These nearby sites provide guests with opportunities for leisurely walks and exploration. The Hilo Farmers Market is also within easy reach, offering an authentic taste of local culture and produce.

A significant pro is the hotel’s location in relation to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, which allows guests to embark on day trips to experience one of the island’s most famous landmarks. Additionally, visitors can enjoy on-site amenities such as a nine-hole golf course and oceanfront pool.

However, some guests have noted that certain room amenities may feel somewhat basic compared to other high-end resorts. Despite this, the breathtaking natural surroundings and convenient access to local attractions make up for any shortcomings in luxury.
