If you're looking for a peaceful retreat on beautiful grounds away from the hustle and bustle, this place is for you.
If you're more interested in nightlife, easy beach and restaurant access, I would consider staying closer to Kailua-Kona.
A few things indicated in House Rules we wish to reiterate: There is no A/C or heat, quiet hours really do happen, and if you're on the top floor, there are a substantial amount of stairs. It's tough with luggage, and not well-lit at night.
Again, if you're looking for a quiet zen getaway, this place is beautiful. If you're more interested in nightlife, consider staying down the hill in Kona town.
