"My stay was really excellent. The people who live there are very kind, for any need they are ready to help. Not to mention the forest: drinking rainwater, eating the best coconut trees of my life, eating fruit that I had never even seen, waking up early with the birds singing .. all truly magical! I highly recommend it to EVERYBODY."

SCP Hilo Hotel

SCP Hilo Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at SCP. We are a young family of four and we felt very welcomed from the beginning. Amanda the night front desk host was very nice and we saw her the next night too. And even though it was 12am she was still very friendly and welcoming. We loved the amenities; the stand up paddle board we borrowed for a few hours for two days, the pool, the different areas to relax in. I think my favorite was the open hotel lobby. We highly recommend!"
