Tropical Hideaway was all we expected and more. Great location and value considering closeness to super snorkeling beaches and main Hawaii belt highway (but just far enough that we didn't hear it). Rural nightly sounds of coqui frogs, song birds, and roosters added to the natural ambience, reminding us that this was far from an in-town resort and truly for those who appreciate a genuine local experience. We especially liked the presence of numerous friendly gold-dust day geckos. A bonus was the lush property which provided for many fresh fruit samples and flower scents. The distant ocean view provided great sunsets, viewed directly from the space inside and out. The host Kathy was very sharing with her knowledge of the area and with her dolphin encounters.
