Mahalo to Dave, his wife, son, and friendly dog Lucky for the warm Hawaiian welcome! We lodged at the Mangolani Inn during the first week of our Honeymoon. The Inn is located in a quaint surfing town with tasty restaurants and a relaxing beach. It is a short drive from the island’s main airport. Our flight arrived late in the evening but Dave and his family graciously accommodated our late arrival. After we pulled up to the property gate, we entered the security code and were quickly impressed by the enchanting entrance to the property. The driveway was lined with tropical trees and plants (including apple-banana trees and a papaya tree). The owners shared the fresh fruit with us and the other guests at the Inn.

There were numerous amenities including laundry machines with detergent, a large closet full of extra beach and bath towels, a hot tub, a hammock, an outdoor kitchen with a fridge and grill (we cooked many of our meals here and enjoyed a refreshing Hawaiian breeze while we ate our breakfasts/lunches/dinners). The owners even provided beach gear such as boogie boards and snorkel gear. We used the snorkel gear to swim with sea turtles!

We recommend the Mangolani Inn.
