The very best stay with an unexpected surprise!
Being a child of a native-born islander I treat my visits as a birthright, a chance to learn more about my island roots. My family emigrated from the Philippines to Kauai and eventually settled in Oahu. I had never been to the Big Island so when my sister suggested we visit I said OKAY. (BTW, she’s basically a local, having lived here for over 30 years). The stay at Lava Pond Lodge was PERRRRFECCCT! The hospitality was unmatched in our opinion, rooms and common area very comfortable and inviting. Our host for our stay was Rhonda who was the most accommodating individual ever, knowledgeable about the area and activities on the island, honestly couldn’t say enough about her grace and helpfulness! The unexpected surprise was that Kilauea was in her 4th phase and we were there to see it! Nature is so amazing! The B&B is so conveniently located and if you’re a nature lover this is the place for you! We will definitely be back for more adventures on the BI, for sure!
