The location is amazing. You can sit and watch the ocean all day, crashing surf creating rainbows in the waves, from the amazing deck. The photo doesn't do it justice - you are right on the sea.Also the interior is brilliant. Yes, no AC, but it really doesn't matter - I don't like the heat but there ...

Pahoa is not a touristy town. It's full of wonderful locals and great restaurants. Highly recommend Kaleo's for some meals and the Island Market for groceries. Pahoa has nice little spots to fish, watch the surf, and a small black sand beach.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Loved the locals, vibe and laidback nature on the east side of the island (Pahoa and Hilo) versus the touristy, crowded side of Kona. Make sure to drive and see the lava destruction icutting off Route 137. Hawaii Volcano State Park is a must see!

Verified traveler

It is a unique area for shopping. The dining we had was delicious and the price was reasonable.

Pahoa is a very small town not equipped to cater to tourists. The natural beauty of the area is lovely, and the lava zones are amazing to see. We had the best meal of our trip at Kaleo's.
