True Aloha in Old Hawaii!

Coco Palisade Colorado
Review Submitted: September 14, 2007 Date of Stay: September 2007
My husband and I recently celebrated our 25th anniversary in Hawaii. Staying 2+ weeks at Zen Lite. We have traveled to Hawaii many times. For the last 5 years, we have rented privately owned properties. Zen Lite is not the average. The owners truely understand the concept of Aloha, and share it freely. Zen is clean, comfortable, quiet and very peaceful. The owners have created a magical garden. Flowers surround you and fill the air with spicy sweetness The location is perfect. We found the dining in Pahoa to be excellent. (Try Ning's Thai). As of September 07, the Volcano view after dark at Kalapana is the best we've ever seen in over 20 years of Puna vacations. Kalapana Cafe (formerly Verna's) at the end of the road has good Ono burgers and the short hike to see the new beach is well worth it. If Old Hawaii and Aloha are what you seek, you've found it at Zen Lite.

This is why you come to Hawaii

Jeff W San Diego
Review Submitted: December 18, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
If you're looking to get away from your hectic city dweller existence for a few days, this is exactly the place you need. You can certainly do all the tourist things while staying here, but to me the real value was in the peaceful seclusion of Zen Lite. I started every day with a swim at Kehena (which really is a 5-minute walk away) and I ended most days the same way. The only "problem" I encountered was the ridiculous amount of jungle noises at night, but I got around that by closing all the double-paned windows and turning up the cieling fan -- then I slept like a baby. The hosts are ultra-nice, the cottage is clean and well-built, the garden is nice, the temperature is perfect, and the surrounding scenery is awesome. There's no reason to stay anywhere else!

Wonderful getaway!

Suzanne-Jamie Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: November 28, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
The Zen Lite cottage is absolutely beautiful - it was clean and well-maintained - and made for a romantic getaway nestled in the jungle. The amenities were better than described. Diane & Phil were excellent hosts! They provided lots of detailed recommendations of places to see and things to do. Phil's book gave us a nice history of Hawaii, which helped to put things in context when we drove around the island. From this location, you are very close to the beach, which is beautiful, though not the best beach for swimming. You are also close to the newly opened lava viewing spot - and I highly recommend checking that out. Hilo and Volcanoes National Park are within an hour's driving distance. There are snorkeling spots close by as well - and, if nothing else, you should check out the view of the night sky from the lanai.

Overall, our experience at Zen Lite was awesome! It's a beautiful spot in an interesting and exotic part of the Big Island.

Blissfully zone out at Zen Light

Trish & Howie London
Review Submitted: November 26, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We stayed at Zen Light during Oct/Nov 2008 and it was a truly fantastic experience. We arrived totally worn out and jaded with hectic London living and by the end of the trip we were totally revived. Zen Light is a wonderful experience, it is simple living at it's best. We cooked on the gas BBQ or drove to one of the fabulous local restaurants (of which there are many), relaxed by the beach, walked by the coastline, went to the city about 45 minutes away from time to time and we also trekked out to the volcano & drove around the volcano national park. If you want relaxation, time away in nature, a lovely beach, superb volcano experiences and time to reconnect with it all, this is the place to go. I cannot recommend it highly enough. We both loved it and cannot wait to go back some day. Diane and Phil are absolutely lovely and know so much about the history it really adds to the experience. Do check out the Cava Lava Cafe at the end of the road, along with the black sand beach, volcano trips, walks by the coast & lazy days - it's not to be missed!

Hawaii vacation

Richwv WV
Review Submitted: September 16, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We stayed at Zen Lite and everything was exactly as pictured. The place was beautiful and the grounds were well kept. There isn't any cell coverage if you need it while at Zen Lite. It is secluded and 30 minutes away from most conveniences. The outside shower is sort of on the front of the house and close to the neighbors and takes a little of getting used too. We would stay there again if we ever get to go back to the Big Island, since it is close to the active lava flow to the ocean. We truly enjoyed ourselves we drove arround Hilo and didn't see anything better if you are staying on this side of the island.
