Mahalo for your review, Carolyn. We're so sorry that Hale Kai didn't meet your expectations. All of the rooms were updated in January 2024 (the project is just wrapping up as I type this reply). We hope you'll come stay again and see the look! I will let the on-site staff know about the yogurt and make sure they are checking the dates on them.

Mahalo for your review, Marie. We are so pleased that you were happy with our services, but are sad that you gave the property only one star and would not recommend it. It is an older building, that is true. But it lends itself to that days-gone-by charm that old Hilo Town embodies. We hope other guests will read more reviews, as most visitors just love the place! We appreciate your opinion and understand that this area is not for everyone. We hope you still enjoyed your visit to our little corner of paradise.

Mahalo nui for your review, Julie! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Coqui frogs are everywhere here in East Hawaii. Some guests love them (I've been asked to send people recordings to fall asleep to!) but light sleepers might find they need some getting used to. I think of them as white noise ;-) There is a temperature button on the hot tub so guests can set their desired heat level. If you come back and find it set too hot, you can turn down the heat and take the cover off, which should get you your ideal temperature setting in 15 minutes or so. We hope you will keep us in mind for future visits to Hilo!

Mahalo for your review, Zach. Hilo is a rather simple place and we're glad you enjoyed your visit. Sorry the hot tub was out of commission. Out here on this tiny rock thousands of miles from anywhere, it can sometimes take a couple weeks for parts to arrive, The hot tub is back up and running YAY!!! If your travels bring you back our way we hope you'll keep us in mind for your accommodations.
