When we traveled to the Big Island of Hawaii, we stayed in The Grand Naniloa Hotel in Hilo. The word Naniloa means “very beautiful.” And this Hilton hotel lives up to its name. The hotel sits on the Hilo Bay and is only 10 minutes from Hilo International Airport. And only 42 minutes from Volcanoes National Park. The hotel features panoramic tropical views. Along with an amazing view of the Mauna Loa Volcano.
