Staying at Paradise Cove was the best and one of our highlights on our trip to Hawai'i. The accomodation is beautiful, John and Phyl were lovely people, very helpful, fast answering, very caring, they had a thousand tips what to do, eat, visit in the neighbourhood and on the island. They provided good snorkeling gear and boogie boards to use, everything you could need on Hawai'i.
Kona is about 40 to 50 minutes away. Food is a 15 to 20 minutes drive. Our tip, grab some food nearby and watch the sunset from your accomodation, it was the best sunset we had on our whole vacation (definetely worth it).
If you have the chance to stay here, do it, you'll not regret it.
