This quiet, well-maintained hotel provides many places within its grounds for tranquility and privacy. On the grounds is a freshwater pond filled with fish. People come here for budget accommodations close to Hilo attractions.

Beginning in 1933, celebrities, royalty, and national and local leaders have planted banyan trees on the street around the hotel. Between the deep shade of these trees and the bay is where nearly all of Hilo's hotels are located. Visitors stopping overnight in Hilo or exploring the Big Island stay at Hilo Hawaiian Hotel.

Kama'aina (island residents) come to the Naniloa Volcanoes Resort for weekend getaways, charmed by its secluded location behind giant banyan trees and just minutes from downtown shops and restaurants. The hotel also draws hula dancers and sports teams. The hotel's airy, glass-walled lobby with white-and-rose stucco ceilings opens to an oceanfront lawn with views of Hilo Bay and Coconut Island.

Kulaniapia is a large parcel, 22 acres and features our 120-ft. waterfall which is viewable from almost every corner of our inn. We are perched at a cool 850 feet above Hilo with panoramic ocean and waterfall views. We have over 2 miles of walking trails that wind along the powerful Waiau River, a 2-acre botanical garden with a 3-tiered waterfall. All baths are private and entirely finished in Italian marble. Come to the hospitality of the Inn at Kulaniapia, built exclusively as a Hawaiian bed & breakfast with resort amenities.
