Pele’s Eye — Hotel in Hawaii

Note that we did not stay at Pele’s Eye, but I had to spread the good word about the owner RueBon.

My partner and I had been off roading a couple miles out from Pele’s Eye when we found ourselves in a treacherous situation. As we were driving along a backroad, the ~300lb truck cap and attached camper bed popped off. Luckily no one was injured, but we needed help to make it back to the main road. After a couple of calls, we were pointed in the direction of Ruebon. He was a godsend. After trying to lift the topper and hitting a dead end, we all strategized on removing the individual pieces to return them safely and secure to the car. It was the smart method, but all in all was several hours of sweaty effort. Ruebon was patient and kind throughout it all, taking time out of his day as a hotel owner to help out complete strangers. Several hours later, we managed to get everything secured on the car and were able to make our way out to the main road.

Earlier in the day, Ruebon had shared with us the story of Pele, the fiery goddess of Hawai'i as well as his hotel's namesake. As difficult as the day was, we felt Pele “smiling down on us” with the stroke of luck that led us to Ruebon. His generosity is a testament to his character as a host. Thank...

Best is a Vista Extrodinaire, the ocean, the sunrise, don't forget to look up into the star filled sky above. The road way in is alittle rough on your rental car. Trips to the green sand beach is a hike, enjoy the local bakery, drive to the volcano in 45 mins 1hour 30 mins to Kona north and to Hilo east. I will most...

They are still on the way of progress, and I believe they will have better facilities because they have a talanted architecture😏 When I stay, they have a toilet(not flushed)and cold water shower(outside). You have to have a car for off road to approach. And I recommned you to have dinner or grab some food before staying here. It could be...
