Fodor's Review:

The Collection comprises five inns and lodges and five vacation houses in and around Volcano Village; the theme rooms, suites, and vacation homes range from no-frills dorm-style bedrooms in a funky old house to a plantation mansion with its own six-person hot tub. There is a two-night minimum at all of the Chalet Kilauea properties. Although the Collection's showpiece property, the Inn at Volcano, is overpriced and slipping in quality, its remaining properties do have something to offer. The Lokahi Lodge ($115-$135) provides cozy rooms in a country lodge with plenty of exposed beams and wood, and comfy beds with custom-made raised wooden bed frames. A large kitchen is available for guest use, as is an on-site hot tub. Lokahi is the most recently updated of the Collection's properties. For those looking for a bit more privacy, the Volcano Cottages are dispersed vacation homes and cottage rentals around Volcano Village. Each of the six one-, two-, or three-bedroom rentals has a different layout and decor; our favorites are the Ohia Hideaway ($135/night) for couples or small groups, and Pele's Plantation ($225/night) for large groups. The Collection's most reasonably priced offering is the Volcano Hale ($55-$69 double-occupancy room), which has a communal kitchen and fireplace. Pros: large variety of lodging types to choose from, hot tub, fireplace. Cons: two-night minimum; staff and management changes frequently, which can sometimes make service suffer.
