About This Bed and Breakfast
The Aloha Crater Lodge located in Volcano, Hawaii sits tucked away in a lush rainforest setting just minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This charming bed and breakfast offers a unique experience with its proximity to natural attractions, including the park’s visitor center and nearby lava tubes. The property features individually designed rooms, each with its own character and amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring the volcanic landscapes and natural wonders of the Big Island.
Atmosphere
This bed and breakfast provides a distinctly tropical rainforest experience, with rooms surrounded by verdant woods that are particularly beautiful in the morning when moisture clings to the vegetation. Visitors can enjoy stargazing from the outdoor seating area and even glimpse the volcano’s glow on clear nights. While the natural setting offers peaceful seclusion, guests should note that local birds can be quite vocal, especially at night. The property features a hot tub nestled in the jungle, adding to its exotic appeal.
Cleanliness
The lodge maintains high cleanliness standards despite its rainforest location, with rooms described as “sparkling clean” by visitors. Rooms come equipped with comfortable beds, and some feature unique amenities like terrariums and double showers. The property showcases thoughtful craftmanship, including custom details like turtle statues cast into countertops and beautiful hardwood floors. While some rooms are spacious and well-appointed, others may need updating in terms of amenities and furnishings.
Breakfast
The continental breakfast offering includes a variety of items placed in the rooms, such as fresh tropical fruits (including papayas and bananas), yogurt, granola bars, and biscotti. Each room is equipped with a mini-fridge and coffee maker, allowing guests to enjoy their morning meal at their leisure. While some visitors appreciate the breakfast provisions, others note that it’s more of a light snack selection rather than a full breakfast service.
