This was a great place to stay. There is a wonderful ocean view. We saw two pods of dolphins from the balcony. It is located just far enough out of Hilo where you don't have to deal with traffic but close enough where it's not a pain to drive in. It's in about a 20-30 minute range of quite a few snorkeling beaches, one of which we swam with sea turtles. We would stay here again.
