We very much enjoyed staying at Cook's Landing and would recommend the place to anyone. The condo itself is extremely nice and well appointed, from the comfortable bedrooms to the large well-stocked kitchen to the extra amenities like beach towels, beach chairs, an umbrella, etc. In addition, the resort of Hali'i Kai is beautiful, and the Ocean Club is an undiscovered gem, especially for dinner/drinks at sunset. You are walking distance to the Hilton resort, and a short drive from a number of amazing beaches. The drive to Kona is not too bad, and you can also get to lots of other cool Big Island spots (Waipio Valley, Akaka Falls, Hilo) without too long of a drive.
All in all, a great base for a Big Island vacation. We will most definitely go back soon.
