  I just wanted to thank you for letting us stay at Hale Malino; it was perfect. We loved the location and it was furnished beautifully. My husband liked the artwork so much he picked up his own prints by D. Varez at the Volcano Art Gallery (one of the humuhumu... and one of an erupting volcano). It was also nice to have the books on the tropical flowers, trees and reef fish so we could look up the flowers and fish we'd seen during the day. We tried to take good care of the place and leave it as we found it. We just got back on Sunday (we spent a few days in the Volcano area) and already we miss our leisurely mornings with papaya & lime juice on the lanai of Hale Malino. Mahalo, Gayleen

  What a wonderful vacation we had while staying at the Palm Villas condominium. The condo is decorated like a showroom and yet is incredibly warm and inviting. When we arrived it was so clean that we thought we may have been the only visitors to ever visit. The view is breathtaking with lava rock and such beautiful flowers and greenery that we walked around and took pictures to frame in our home in Chicago. We had so many wonderful excursions and would like to let you know our thoughts. The first day we enjoyed a visit to the onsite Foodland Farms to fill up our refrigerator. The staff there are so nice and helpful and it had everything we needed. We then spent the afternoon at the beautiful onsite pool-so relaxing and beautiful. We recommend highly the Canoe House restaurant at the onsite hotel. We enjoyed our Blue Hawaiian helicopter ride, but thought it would be more up close to the volcanoes and waterfalls. We enjoyed Volcano National Park-worth the drive!Beware-the eyes can sting from the sulfer and it is very cold at this altitude. We took an incredible rolling hills ride to the town of Hawi to experience some real local stores and food-Sushi Rock is fabulous!! We ended our visit at the Island Breeze Luau. We would not do it again,but it is nice to go one time to really experience a full Luau. Do not expect a fancy evening-you sit with other people at cheap tables with plastic seats and plastic cups with water and kool-aid pitchers. The buffet food was not great, but, once again, nice to really see what the full array of Hawaiian food is. The host was very cheesy, but the cast of dancers were great and the best part was the fire dancer!! A great stay, a new love for the incredibly changing landscape on the Big Island and a fabulous tan to take back with us to Chicago.

  We just spent a fabulous week here at the Hale Malino. What a lovely condo in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed the trail through the Lava Field and had some very good snorkelling at the Beach Club. We appreciated all the ammenities such as the cooler backpack, snorkel gear, towels, etc. The condo itself was beautiful and very well appointed. We like the art chosen for the various rooms. And the location of the condo within the complex was perfect! We would definitely come back again. Thank you.

  Aloha, We absolutely loved our time here - you have a great home. I LOVE what you have done with the condo (decorations, games, books, music, recipes, kitchen tools). It made our stay feel like HOME. We can't wait to return. I am getting a domino set like that when I get home. Mahalo, Anna & Steve PS.

  Our faimly arrived at the condo at night and what a glorious surprise when we opened the door to our Hawaiian get-a-way. First class in every way, so beautiful. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and convenient. We'll be talking about the condo and the entire complex for some time.

  Hale Malino far surpassed our expectations. We appreciated the dining and activity suggestions. The location of the Palm Villas is perfect - never tired of the stroll down "the lane" and through the fishponds of Mauna Lani to the Beach. Mahalo, The Myers

  Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful place. We loved your home, and enjoyed everything you offered. Amazing selections of CDs, and books, convenient backpacks, beach mats, etc. This was a perfect place for us (Mom and Dad, and my husband and I) to explore the Big Island for the first time. We will come back! Mahalo

  Dear Greg, We are back again, this is my first day in the office, and I can’t say I like it. After 2 weeks on the north shore, 1 week on the Big Island, and a short stopover in Los Angeles, life is hard as usual.But we had a great time, anyway, both Oahu and Hawaii presenting their best: big waves at the Bonzai pipeline (14-18 feet, not for swimming) and lava excitement, as well as the peace of Mauna Kea beach. What a special experience - very impressive!As was your apartment: we have never had such a superb place to live in. Everything well thought-out, aesthetic, comfortable, generous, marvelous. It will take some time to get there again, but I can’t imagine a better place. You were absolutely successful in creating an atmosphere of well-being and luxury in a world of its own. Outstanding. Congratulations. Thank you for Hale Malino. Helmut
