The Concierge Recommends
Located inside the chilly volcano rain forest, the lodge promotes its International Fireplace of Friendship - hokey, but it was established when the building was a YMCA in the '30s. It's a good place to warm up after exploring the hot and cold lava of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park a mile away.
Owner and chef Albert Jeyte, who was an Emmy-winning makeup artist for Magnum, P.I. in another life, has also established a surprisingly good restaurant. Who knew you could get a German sausage plate in Hawaii?
More cozy than luxurious, the 14 unique rooms and stand-alone cottages are, nonetheless, completely charming. Some accommodations have a fireplace, and all have access to a hot tub. Golf aficionados should book the two-bedroom Pii Mauna, located on the sixth fairway of the Volcano Golf Course (a short distance from the main grounds).

Webmasters Favorite:
Kilauea Lodge is my favorite restaurant on the island - with no exceptions. However, for a long time my primary problem was that I couldn't decide what to eat from my favorite selections. That is why I now take advantage of the split-plate charge and have TWO of my favorites. My personal recommendation? The glazed Duck L'Orange along with the Cajun style Ahi (tuna prepared VERY rare in cajun spices) smothered in Papaya salsa. It's a GREAT combination! -David Cook
