Hotel i Kaniahiku Village, Pahoa

"Had a deluxe room overlooking the Koi pond and Harbor. This hotel has a mid-century vibe. The location is perfect. Starbucks is a mere 1.3 miles away. It’s walking distance from a great restaurant that is right across the street. Locals confirmed this fact. Staff was friendly, helpful and fun… The hotel looks like a converted old Holiday Inn, with only outside access to each room.

"We had a wonderful stay at this place. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the host Kelly was incredibly kind and thoughtful, providing everything we might need during our stay. The breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day. Overall, it was a warm and welcoming experience, and we would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area."

"I enjoyed my stay here. The place is one of a kind and each room is unique. I was reluctant at first because of the shared bathroom, but I never had issues when I needed to use it.

"Wonderful vibe"

"Pros: This is our first time staying at a lodge like this, so close to nature, just like camping. You will hear coqui frog whole night & seeing them jumping next to your door step.

"KMEC is the opposite of Oahu—peaceful, solitary and centering."
