It is recommended that you rent a car at the airport in Hilo, though there is a bus that swings by at the front of the neighborhood. A bike is also a very pleasant way to travel... the red road, or highway 130, is no longer red but is a beautiful road to bike along. The roads are somewhat narrow and winding around the area.

Also, Hawaii charges a 13.25% Transient Accommodation Tax and 4.712% General Excise Tax. This should already be reflected in your payment breakdown.
