September is typically the time of year when we celebrate the Aloha Festivals on each of the islands. While the festivals may not be happening in person this year, we are still celebrating the Spirit of Aloha each day in all we do. We thought you would enjoy Aunty Pilahi Paki’s ALOHA acronym, as a beautiful reminder of why we are lucky enough to call Hawai’i home. #kamuelainn #timelesscharm #upcountryhospitality #alohafestivals

Catching up with Kamuela Inn... We had a chance t

Catching up with Kamuela Inn...

We had a chance to talk story with Hotel Manager Edlyn Carvalho this week and this is what we learned!

1. Before working here, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?
My most memorable job was my very first job at Molokai Drugs, Inc, the only pharmacy on the island of Molokai. I worked there for 2 years before graduating high school, but would return on Spring, Summer and Christmas breaks while a student at UH-Hilo. This job taught me the importance of loyalty, honesty, integrity and dedication. It's a family owned and operated business, established in 1935, with employees who are still there from when I was an employee. These employees love their job, the company and the island, with many employees still there from when I used to work there. I've been with Kamuela Inn since owners Melanie Holt and Tim Bostock purchased it back in June 2015. Just like Molokai Drugs, we love our job, our company and most especially Waimea. I hope we can leave the same legacy that Molokai Drugs founders, Grampa and Gramma Sakata built at Molokai Drugs.

2. What are 3 words to describe Kamuela Inn? Family, Memories, Love

3. What do you like most about the Kamuela Inn? At Kamuela Inn, we truly love people and the community in which we are a part. We love to hear your stories and if willing, we love to tell you ours, most especially about Waimea, its people and sense of place.
 4. Any favorite line from a movie?
Not from a movie, but I always say, "Help me Jesus!"
 5. Any random facts you could share with us?
I've never broken a bone in my body; am half Japanese and half Hawaiian, but don't speak either fluently; come from a family of 2 girls and 2 boys, then started my own family of 2 girls and 2 boys, in the same birth order girl, boy, girl, boy!
 6. Are you messy or organized?
I'm an organized mess.
 7. Best vacation you’ve been on?
Always with family at the most magical place on earth, Disneyland.
 8. Describe what you were like at age 10.
I've always been a nerd and still am.
