We do our best to make our guests comfy, including any-everything short of air conditioning which isn’t terribly planet-friendly.
Last week we had a contractor come in and install a solar powered roof fan and BOY what a difference that has made. The room is cooler by far, making sleeping all the more pleasant.
We are SO impressed that in the coming days we’ll get one installed in Makai.
Sweet dreams, dearest guests.

Last month we took the leap to “get off the grid” and had a photovoltaic solar system installed, which means we now have the ability to harvest all our energy from the sun! WOO HOO!!!
SO, the next time you’re on your computer or taking a shower or doing a load of laundry at Hale ‘Nalo, you can ENJOY the fact that you’re using only the sun’s energy!
Mahalo for your support!
A hui hou (“until we meet again”) from Hale ‘Nalo!
“PV” – the “new” beautiful!

Colton Farms, located in Waimanalo, has started a petting zoo. In it you’ll see wild pigs, lots of chickens, geese and even a few burros. This is a serious stop, folks.

Vacationing in Hawaii means spending lots of time outdoors doing all sorts of aerobic exercise such as hiking, swimming and cycling, and the beach is often used as a gym for those who must leave their 24 Hour Fitness behind.
For example, there is a log on the beach that we use for doing pushups on an incline. We love the challenge of walking and running on the 3.5 mile white sand beach and of course, tai chi and yoga can be practiced also at the beach in an incredibly serene setting.
The foods you eat also play a big role in keeping you fit. Fresh fruits like papaya and coconut abound, as do restaurants that serve up fresh fish steamed local-style with a little cilantro and ginger. Our local “Sweet Home Waimanalo” is a restaurant that is committed to providing healthy options, including vegetarian. Our visitors have many choices to eat healthfully.
We embrace healthy living and will be glad to support our guests’ commitment to health whilst our guest. Aloha!

Hale ‘Nalo is a one-minute walk to this beach, rated the #1 beach in the world by ISLANDS magazine (June 2011)
This beach is close enough to hear the waves lull you to sleep (but far enough away to not disturb your sleep)…
A full 3.5 miles long, this white sandy beach is fantastic for taking long walks, work on your tan, swimming, shelling, watching the sun come up, people watching, having a picnic, reading a book, napping… and it is not at all unusual to have the beach to yourself.
We offer beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, swim fins, coolers and cold drinks, all complimentary and for your enjoyment.
