I loved the location of the villa, the mountains are in your backyard, the view is magical! In the morning you can hear wild animal (mostly birds) noises, it was relaxing & really felt like you were in the nature. This side of the island is a lot more quiet, nothing like Honolulu which is a full on city. Theres not a TON of restraunts but there are some great ones in the area. Highly recommend the polynesian cultural arts center. The Villa was spacious & Adam was an excellent host! He responded to every question very quickly & even came over to help us lock up a door that was a lil stuck. Over all our experience was great!
