Hi, I'm confused about where to stay to see the volcano late January.
Heard volcano house is great but it is booked.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Preferably one with a restaurant for convenience.

If you were in the armed forces at all, try the Kilauea military camp. Otherwise, there are many places a mile outside the park, in Volcano Village.

A few years ago we stayed here for 4 nights during Merrie Monarch and loved our stay, if it is available. Two of those nights we got take out Thai food and two nights I cooked.

It was perfect to enjoy the park early mornings and later evenings when the daytrippers depart.

Although you might not be able to stay at the military camp, I think you can eat in their mess hall???

There is also a new restaurant in the Village that is getting some good buzz. You can also visit Volcano House and enjoy a meal and libation without staying there.

Thanks! Volcano House and chalet Kilauea were booked so we found an Airbnb house in vnp. We'll try doing at the Volcano house and chalet Kilauea.
Now where to stay for our last three nights somewhere in the sunnier area of big island?
Fairmont fully booked.
Four seasons seems confusing and woah so pricey which usually isn't a problem, but 2,000+ for a one bedroom suite isn't in my price range.
Thank you

The Marriott at A-bay can be reasonable compared to other places, and their beach and grounds are nice. The Hapuna Prince has the best beach around, and is sometimes on sale for

Hello thank you. We found a house on home away 1-mile from volcano village and we plan to eat at volcano house and Kilauea lodge, dinners at least.
