We booked Tranquility at the last minute for a quick inter-island trip to visit relatives visiting the Big Island from out of state. The accommodations were clean, quiet, and very pleasant. Waikaloa Village is far from beaches and the restaurant scene, but close to golf, if someone was in to that. We found it to be a great place to sleep and we spent our days where our relatives were staying. Don't expect to find many restaurants or shops close by, but if you don't mind driving it's not far to either Waimea or Kona. The KTA Super Store is close by and has a great selection. Foodland Farms at Mauna Lani is a wonderful grocery store, as is Island Gourmet Markets at The Queen's Marketplace.
