Hilo, Big Island lodging?
 

We are looking at lodging options in the Hilo, Big Island area near the end of September 2007. Any suggestions?

We are staying at the Marriott on the Big Island in September. We heard great things about this hotel.

We enjoyed Keauhou Resort on the Big Island and the Kilauea Lodge for the VNP.

I second the previous posters recommendations -- my husband and I stayed at Kilaeau Lodge just outside Volcanos Nat. Park- very romantic, excellent breakfast, very clean -
and we stayed at Outrigger Keauhou near Kona side- right on the water, tidepools, great beach right there and a terrace that is right over the water where you can see all kinds of fish in the evening -- check out some of the Big Island trip reports.. :) have a great time!! (sorry about my BAD SPELLING!)

On the Hilo side, we like Volcano Village Lodge or north of Hilo is Palms Cliff House. For the other side of the island we always stay at the Hapuna Beach Prince, we love it there. We don't care much for the Kona area. Enjoy.

Just saw this place in the Sunday travel section. Looks like a new B&B. It right next to a waterfall and swimming hole.

I'll probably check it out myself next time I'm in Hilo.

Not sure what type of accommodations you are looking for (hotel vs. B&B) in June I stayed at the Volcano Inn and it was really great, nice owners, excellent prices and less than 10 minutes to Volcano National Park. Have a great trip.
