We loved walking up to the sound of waves and watching sea turtles from the balcony every morning. We even saw a Hawaiian monk seal swim right along the shore on our last morning. The staff were all very friendly and the beach was quiet. We went snokeling right off the beach and saw turtles and lots of fish including some humunukunukuapua'a. We loved the quiet side of the island compared to the "Vegas on the beach" feel of Waikiki. It was very comfortable and we can't wait to return.
