"Lagoon House 2 at Kapoho"

"What I liked best was the warm, private lagoon and all the beautiful fish. The customer service I received was very good, however, I did get a bit weary of so many different agents e-mailing me with the same instructions for checking in and instructions on how to get there. We arrived in Hilo late at night, and had to find our way in the dark, in the rain (of course), and the instructions were so precise, that we found our way just fine! The best part of the trip was all of the nearby snorkling opportunities, and the relaxing atmosphere of Kapoho. We didn't eat our much as we bought a lot of great produce at both the Hilo and Pahoa Farmer's Markets, but one of my favorites is Nings in Pahoa if you like Thai food. We didn't bring camera's - if you can believe that. I wll tell everyone I know that is traveling & staying on the Hilo side about the wonderful gem of Kapoho. If you stay at Lagoon House 2, don't waste time getting into the private lagoon - pure joy! We followed the recommended advice of cleaning up all garbage right away, and had virtually no problems with ants or cockroaches - I did see a big one outside though. Finding the Champagne Pond was great because I have friends who live in Pahoa - LeiLana Estates, and when I visited them last Christmas, they didn't know how to get to it so it was something I could share with them. They showed me a smaller, quite warm pond near the big warm pond which was very delightful. We actually had very few tourist plans made in addition to the daily snorkeling we did. I was interested in a whale watching trip with "Captain Dan" while we were on the Kialua-Kona side for the last 4 days of our stay. Unfortunately, just at that time, his boat was out of water for needed repairs, so hopefully on my next trip I will get to see whales up close & personal with him. Although it has nothing to do with our stay at Lagoon House 2, we stayed at a bed & breakfast in Captain Cook that was a working coffee farm. It sounded good in the brochure, however, a working coffee farm is NOT the place to stay if you are looking peace and quiet. There were many neighboring coffee farms and everyone has at least 2 roosters that start crowing at 4:00 am, many people have dogs that bark at the wild pigs who venture on to their terrain during the night, and if that isn't enough to disturb your sleep, the coffee pickers arrive at 5:00 am and pick for 12 hours which can disturb a peaceful afternoon nap. We stayed at a place called the Cedar House B & B which was rustic, but nice. We had a separate, private cottage called the Coffee Cottage which was literally in the middle of the coffee trees and the pickers were right outside our windows all day long."
