Royal Hawaiian Estates Holidays from AU$2,600

Clean and quiet place. Not what I’d call an actual “B&B”. But he was upfront about that so it was what I expected. Definitely recommend it.

We stayed in the cottage and it was exceedingly charming and comfortable. Staff were truly kind and gracious, and we had two great meals at the main restaurant. The nature trail on the property was a nice bonus. Great location near the national park and close to other restaurants, too. Staying at the Kilauea Lodge was the highlight of our trip.

This property is conveniently located near the Volcanoes National Park and the little town of Volcano Village. The property was most likely last updated in the 1980’s and the carpet definitely shows that. The mattress was abhorrent and gave both my husband and I sore backs because it was so lumpy and overused. We’re not chonky out of shape people, just a really terrible mattress. The room was dusty, the carpet is filthy, there is mold growing on the walls above the vanity and all along the bottom of the shower curtain. The intake form requires a hand written credit card number with expiration date and CVV. That’s a hard no for us and a representative from Expedia recommended we not do that as well. It served our purpose, but would not stay here again and don’t understand all the rave reviews.

The property was very nice and extremely clean.
