5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

There are some truly good restaurants not that far from this location, about a 30 minute drive. A rural location, but such a hidden gem.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

No restaurants in Pahala however a nice 7 mile drive to the town of Naalehu takes care of this matter.

Pahala had a nice Hospital and Senior Center plus a small store.

It is a quiet, small town in a beautiful spot that exemplifies a different time on Hawaii. That does cut both ways a bit, though, of course, don't come out expecting bright lights and show tunes.
