About the host
Hosted by DIANA R MACHADO
I was born and raised on the Island of Yap, in the Federated States of Micronesia. I have lived on the Big Island of Hawaii for 28 years and loving everything this island has to offer. I'm an avid swimmer, enjoys gardening, traveling, reading, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and happy to welcome those wanting a slice of paradise, whether it's a day stay or longer I do what I can to share a bit of the Aloha spirit the pacific islands/ islanders are known for.
Why they chose this property
A relaxing stay awaits you at this property where all your concerns are taken seriously and addressed quickly. A place where the feeling of being part of a bigger 'Ohana' prevails.
What makes this property unique
Can't beat the convenience of being in the heart of Hilo town, within easy walking distances to amenities such as shopping and restaurants, with an urgent care center close by, in a safe, quiet neighborhood on a side street away from traffic noises.
