The pool (common area) over looks the coast line down to captain cook monument and WOW! We watched the sunset there almost every night. The bed was very comfortable, the small kitchen area was nice to have, and ac since the west side/Kona side is typically hotter than the Hilo side (we spent time on both sides) . Communication was great if we had questions, and they had beach supplies available if needed, towels/snorkeling gear was a plus!
