We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Honu Hale! It was away from the rat race of the tourist impacted areas, but not too far away. Kona was an easy drive. The condo was better than we expected and it suited us perfectly! (We are a family of four adults.) There is a grocery store close by that is wonderful! We visited Waimea, Hilo, Kona, Mountain Thunder Coffee, Kamakua Macadamia Nut Company, a luau on New Year's Eve at the Marriott, a black sand beach, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and so much more. It was an amazing trip and having the condo as a "hub" made everything so easy. Mahalo nui loa!! We will definitely be back!
