5 reviews of Hilo, HI
The big Island and Hilo
Submitted by:ysross1
September 7, 2009
Kona side of the Island is more touristy, shopping, night clubs, great restaurants. Wiemia is cooler and more country. Hilo is way more local with lava tubes, waterfalls, and 4 Mile lava beach. South Point is breath taking, windy, dry, and sunny. Great fishing and you can jump off the cliffs.
Great Hotels I stayed at. ..Royal Kona Resort 31/2 stars. (Bid on it on price line and get it for 40% cheaper)
Sheraton in a Keahou. Lots to do. Beautiful place.
In Hilo Do Not Stay Anywhere Except The Hilo Hawaiian. The other hotels are old, uncomfortable, and so behind in the times but charge premium prices. It's out of control I paid to stay at the seaside and checked out an hour later with no refund. Horrible place. Hilo Hawaiian is the best there for now. Again check price line and AOL for best pricing. Don't pay full price if you don't have to.
There is a lot to do on the Big Island. If you want surf lessons you can find them in Kona for $99.00 a person. You can also look on Craigslist and find private surf lessons for $40.00 You can pay $200.00 per person to join the tourist to see the observatory or you can buy a map and rent a car for less than $50.00. Use your head. Ask yourself what is reasonable? Rent a jet ski for $150.00 an hour then find out you can only go to this one coned area a mile off shore. Not exactly the place to rent skies.
There is so much beauty in Hawaii and it is a great place to take your time and relax. Everyone will have a good time.

The 4 mile scenic route just north of Hilo is the most incredible 4 miles you can drive any where on the Island!
