$-$$, Hilo
Fodor's Review:
A charming old craftsman home lovingly restored by a friendly and hospitable couple from North Carolina, the Hilo Honu offers quite a bit of variety. Its three rooms range from the small and reasonably priced Honu's Nest to the large and luxurious Samurai Suite. The Honu's Nest provides fantastic views of the sunrise over Hilo Bay from the comforts of a large, comfy bed. The larger Bali Hai Suite has a sitting room and a window seat that looks out on tree ferns, orchids, and anthuriums. Upstairs, the entire second floor is the Samurai Suite, furnished with traditional tatami mats and beautiful antiques imported from Japan. The suite also includes a large stone soaking tub for two and a beautiful sun porch that looks out over all of Hilo and the bay beyond. Breakfast is delicious and usually includes a variety of homemade baked goods.
