A Green Sea Turtle (Honu in the Hawaiian language) feeding on water plants near the beach. They wedge themselves between the rocks to get to the sea weed.

The room was very nice, although, because of the fireplace, it smelled of wood smoke. The bathroom was clean, spacious, and we really appreciated the towel warmer.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

There are some truly good restaurants not that far from this location, about a 30 minute drive. A rural location, but such a hidden gem.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

No restaurants in Pahala however a nice 7 mile drive to the town of Naalehu takes care of this matter.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Expect to drive, there isn't much around.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Pahala had a nice Hospital and Senior Center plus a small store.

4/5 - Good

Bob

It is a quiet, small town in a beautiful spot that exemplifies a different time on Hawaii. That does cut both ways a bit, though, of course, don't come out expecting bright lights and show tunes.
