Kilauea Lodge and Restaurant

The location was great for travelling to the Volcano Park. We didn't have breakfast but dinner was great the night prior. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the fish we had and its source. When we traveled there were many small earthquakes one of which did open our eyes a little, but we were assured by the staff this was nothing to worry about.

Located in the heart of Volcano and just minutes to the Visitors Centre. The staff are just so welcoming - from pre-arrival communication to in-person interactions. The rooms are well appointed and so comfy - we just wished we had put on the fire in our room but we did enjoy the fire and looking at all the details of the Friendship fireplace at the on-site restaurant. The restaurant carried on the theme - great personal service and comfort food. My teen said that the tomato soup was the best meal they had on our 3 week Hawaiian adventure. The gift shop also has some really unique items that make fabulous mementos to take home.

All around excellent experience. I stayed in an upstairs fireplace room for one night. I was referred to stay here by a gentleman working at the Kilauea Winery. My room was charming with a lot of windows, comfy bed, high ceilings, lovely gas fireplace and hot shower. I had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and it was superb! The wood burning fireplace was an absolute delight during dinner too. I enjoyed the staff. They were all super sweet, friendly and helpful. They communicated with you via text to make sure all your questions are answered and I had all I needed. The jacuzzi and 1/2 mile hike on property were wonderful too! I can't wait to return! Also, 5 minutes from the park! Easy come/go stay while exploring the park too!

This is such a charming, idyllic lodge located super-close to Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. The facility was formerly a YMCA camp and it's so unique and has been perfectly updated while still hanging on to the special history. The grounds are beautiful! We most loved the restaurant - the food was amazing; the best meals we had on the entire island. The staff were also very engaging, kind, and helpful.

This place is very special. On arrival I was greeted by Becky who was so helpful about my stay. On arrival into the room I was so very pleased, it was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated with lots of space. The bathroom has everything you need including heated towels rails and there is a heater in the room when it gets nippy (as it did during my stay in the evening). I ate dinner twice and breakfast once in the restaurant, the staff were accommodating and the food great. There are few options for food in the village so having the restaurant as part of the hotel was very helpful.
