Our stay was great. The location was perfect for anyone who wants a spot that is easy to get to, has great shops and restaurants within close walking distance and wants to see and hear the ocean.
This is not the place if you are looking for isolation or solitude, but it was perfect for our needs. Parking can be a little difficult on weekend nights, but the one Friday night we didn't get a spot in the lot, we found one on a street close by.
I loved waking up to the sounds of waves crashing on the beach and watching sunsets (and people) from the Lanai.
If you are looking for a great location to explore Ali'i drive and a great home base for the rest of Kona, this is it.
It was great having a beach umbrella, beach chairs, a cooler, and snorkels to use so we didn't have to rent or buy our own.
