The close proximity to the black sand beach and the turtles will blow you away. Be sure to get up early to watch the sunrise on the beach with the turtles. The beach will get crowded so be prepared for that. If you are a strong swimmer get in the water. The room was comfortable outside of a couple of maintenance items that we addressed with Julie. She was flexable and easy to work with. We would stay here again. Be sure to visit Hana Hou and Punalu'u bakery!!
