"A not so hidden gem with a rustic plantation ambiance. Lush surroundings, great parking, friendly staff, convenient to Volcano National Park. The 1/2 mile loop trail behind the property was a fun morning picker-upper to get the day started. It’s a little quirky that the guest check-in is in the gift shop, very laid back but service is wonderful. The restaurant is top notch and the portions are reasonable for the price. No tv in room which we did miss after a hard hike at Volcano, but not a deal breaker. in room gas stove was a cozy plus. The only thing we wish was different is the shower. The bathroom was plenty big but the single stand in shower was tight. Did appreciate the towel warmer . The night air was filled with coqui whistlings but we got used to it. Highly recommend and would stay again. "
"By far the best resort I've been to. Family friendly, friendly service, clean, accommodating, overall amazing. The ONLY thing and it really wasn't too big of a deal to us, but could be to someone with bad knees, is there are no elevators so you gotta walk up possibly three flights with your luggage and then the remainder. Parking was a little crowded, as well, we had to park a couple buildings down a few time. Overall AMAZING"
"The grounds surrounding the Outrigger are stunning. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The resort is located in close proximity to many attractions to include walking distance. "
"Near the volcano, which is why we picked it. Reasonable price, near the village and the volcano house. The room was large and fairly clean. The frogs kept us awake, but we got used to them. Very responsive hosts, there is no host at the lodge, but there are plenty of supplies if you run out of towels or coffee, or anything you can usually get from a hotel. The neighborhood seems safe. The store down the road had most anything you need. There’s a laundry at the true value store down the road. "
"Wonderful property just minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The bungalow had little special extras like a heated towel rack and heated floors in the bathroom. Enjoyed the plush robes and fresh Hawaiian coffee each day. Town of Volcano is so quiet and layed back. So different from the hustle and bustle of Kona. "
