Hi there! I'm mostly a semi-shameful lurker but I felt the need to reply here because my hubby and I stayed at Palm Hill last year in June for our wedding. I guess this was when the "excavation" was happening and I can tell you that while we had one day of rather loud noise that certainly ...

Congrats on your upcoming wedding! My dear hubby and I got married on the island this past June - our 1st trip there, sure won't be our last!! My two cents - I debated planning and organizing everything myself but in the end I just decided that my piece of mind was worth the extra $$ for a coordinat...

Thanks! I took those at Anaehoomalu Bay on the Big Island, most people just call it A-bay to save you from trying to pronounce that tongue twister.... It is on the Kohala Coast. The water before the palm trees is a huge ancient fish pond that fronts a beautiful beach. As you might imagine, it is THE...

Yes, I recently had some issues getting in touch with them via email. They did get back to me after a couple of weeks. Apparently they were having some server issues, I would just give them a call - sounds like they are still having issues, not as convenient but I think ? they are open on saturdays?

Newbie Trip Report - Part 6... The end...

Day 9 - Did you have to take the Rum? I mean, really! The nerve! We had to check out the villa by 10 am so we got up early and like the good villa guests we like to think we are we started the laundry, cleaned up the kitchen and just generally straightened up. We were both feeling pretty sad about ...

Newbie Trip Report - Part 4...

Day 7 - It Made the Kessel Run in less than Twelve Parsecs.... We woke up far, far too early for people who just got married the day before, but it was for a good cause. We were headed to the BVI's for a day of sun, fun, painkillers, snorkeling and did I mention the painkillers? Just checking. J ha...
