Truly a luxury oasis! It was tough to drag my wife away from the balcony when it came time to leave. The view is breathtaking and the sunsets were a sight to behold. Hawai’i does not have a tremendous “night life,” but grab some beer or wine from any of the ABC stores near by and you have front row seats to the most spectacular show in the world.
Having traveled all around the island, we are so glad we stayed in Kona and could not have found better accommodations.
Kona is vibrant and, while laid back, it is very physically active - which we loved. Great places to each near by, shave ice at One Aloha, and surf lessons down the street at Kahalu’u Bay Surf and Sea - just wonderful. Definitely a more vibrant area than the Hilo side. Hilo was only 90 minutes away with a great drive that cuts across the island - or take a bit longer and take the south route for a thrilling drive with great views.
Hosts were excellent, accommodating and prompt. Could not have enjoyed our stay more and look forward to returning!
