This place is not right on the beach, be prepared to add 15 min to every trip. It is a good place to stay if you are looking to go explore other parts of the Island besides Kona and resort towns. The walls are thin, you do hear your neighbors, and yes there is a young family that lives across, but they aren’t too rambunctious. Place is clean and has snorkel, beach towels, sunscreen. Great value!
