Very close to a variety of shops and water spots. We used it as a home base for exploring various areas around the Kona side of the island. The snorkel gear is in very good condition and worked well for us! The a/c was nice to come back to at the end of the day and everything was very clean. The teenager used the sleeper sofa and said it was pretty comfortable. The bedroom mattress was great. We'd definitely stay here again as a couple or with a traveling child.
