Hilo
side:
The
Wild Ginger Inn is a lovely old plantation style hotel, simple and
romantic, with a beautiful garden and a lot of heart. All rooms are
freshly renovated, no frills, clean, and with private bath. There's
a large open hawaiian style lounge area with hammocks when you first
walk in. It's just a short walk to downtown. You can see the ocean and
Coconut Island. They have laundry facilities and rooms for up to 4 people.
Dolphin
Bay Inn - Just a short walk from downtown Hilo, Dolphin Bay Hotel
offers comfortable accommodations at a low price.
Hilo
Bay Hostel - very nicely renovated old downtown building. The hostel
is located on the 2nd floor. Very clean and fairly inexpensive. Private
rooms available. Internet and common kitchen. There's a good coffee
shop on street level. Right in town and two minute walk from Palace
Theater.
Arnott's
Lodge - Hilo. A few miles from downtown Hilo. Camping, bunk beds
and private rooms available. The cheapest place to stay in Hilo but
not right in town. Nice communal spaces, laundrymat. Close to Hilo's
best beaches. International youth hostel atmosphere.
The
Hilo Hawaiian Hotel - The classy joint in Hilo. Overlooking Coconut
island.
Puna side:
Kalani
Honua Oceanside Resort - deep in the Puna rainforest. About 45 minutes
from Hilo. This is the location of our ambient HEMF pool party sunday
afternoon as well as our weekly sunday morning ecstatic dance. Kalani
is a beautiful jungle retreat close to the ocean with rooms, guest houses
& camping available. I recommend staying here at the end of the
festival for that true jungle experience. You'll love it down there.
Very good organic kitchen (breakfast, lunch, dinner), pool, hot tubs,
sauna, yoga classes, bodywork. Close to black sand beach & warm
ponds. Special rate for HEMF participants.
