I don’t want to say too much or it’ll be booked when we come back. This place was way above our expectations. We really wanted to be in the Captain Cook area for its laid back vibe and great snorkeling. We took a chance and was pleasantly surprised by the large space, great pool and super friendly people. We stayed in the back detached building with 2 adults and 2 kids. The other areas we saw in the main building were smaller but a little nicer.
The thing to know about this place and whole part of the island is that it’s not what most people think of as Hawaiian vacation, which is why we love it. It’s living in a quite neighborhood near great gardens, farmers markets and dive spots. It’s quirky, like the neighborhood, and not about being fancy. It’s not condos, white sand beaches and Mai Thais. If that’s what you want don’t go south of Kona. The only down side is that you have to have a car, though we did walk to the beach once a mile away.
