“It seems to me this place boasts stunning natural beauty, especially with its privileged access to the Big Island's largest waterfall; however, some inconsistencies with room upkeep, as I observed, might overshadow the otherwise amazing experience. I think prospective guests should carefully weigh the allure of adventure against potential comfort issues, as I would expect more attention to detail for the price.”
