We enjoyed our time at the Luana Inn. The grounds are beautiful with garden plantings of tropical foliage, fruit and flowers. All of the units have access to the pool, hot tub, and lounge. Plus, the view of Kealakekua Bay and southern coast is lovely. The room was clean and comfortable.
The property is very quiet and peaceful. There was not a lot of activity when we were there, which is what we were looking for. The hosts were available but not intrusive. Nicole has provided many thoughtful touches.
As others have mentioned, it's about a 15 minute drive to shopping and restaurants, and a shorter drive down to the shore. It was a convenient base to use to explore Kealakekua Bay, 2-Step, The Refuge and the southern beaches. It was tough to leave!
