We loved the gorgeous sunsets overlooking the water from our private lanai. Check in was super easy and smooth. Great communication from Thomas - he sent us an email with our key code months in advance. He also sent us a video explaining where to park and how to get into the apartment, which was very helpful and made check in easy. As other reviewers have noted, the shower is great. It was perfect after getting home cold and wet from the Manta Ray dive! Thomas also provided all of the amenities including shampoo, conditioner, soap, sunscreen, and beach towels. The location is close enough to everything, but far enough off the main strip in Kona, which gets crowded and noisy. Highly recommend!
