Experience the genuine spirit of Hilo — a place infused with authentic old-Hawaii charm. If you're seeking pristine white sand beaches and cookie-cutter neighborhoods, this may not be the ideal destination for you. The plantation-era houses in our area, some dating back to the 1960s, have been lovingly updated, although a few may still show their original character and might require a touch of TLC. If these factors affect your idea of a perfect Hawaiian stay, consider looking into a resort instead. However, if adventure, enriching Hawaiian experiences, and remarkable journeys excite you, then Stay Play Aloha has everything you desire.

Each room features high-powered fans to complement the refreshing Hawaiian breeze, eliminating the need for air conditioning. The captivating surroundings of Hilo offer an array of activities such as beaches, shopping, exquisite dining options, waterfalls, and hiking trails— all within a short drive from your accommodation. For those with a car, you can easily explore Volcanoes National Park to the south or Mauna Kea to the northwest, both accessible within about an hour. Additionally, a sprawling mall and shopping center are conveniently just around the corner, making it easy to walk to for any needs.

We believe our home is the perfect place to Stay, Play, and immerse yourself in the spirit of Aloha. As our property is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood, we kindly ask guests to embrace the Aloha spirit by maintaining a respectful noise level and honoring Hawaiian cultural values. Please keep in mind that there may be other guests staying in the upper portion of our home, so it is important to respect their privacy and practice aloha throughout your stay. Smoking is strictly prohibited in and around our residence.

If you require additional space for large groups or family gatherings, consider renting both portions of the house together, which is listed under Ohana Means Family. Welcome the Aloha spirit and make the most of your experience at Stay Play Aloha ~ Hale Mala.
