David was a wonderful host and made my first impression of Kona a friendly one. He went the extra mile by picking me up from the Hele-on bus stop and even took me through town for a quick tour of Kailua-Kona before dropping me off where I needed to be. The suite was clean, comfortable and is a beautiful place to stay right by the ocean - you can hear the waves from your bedroom and with many windows/screen doors, there's plenty of fresh air to be had. The wifi info and host recommendations provided in the suite were also very professional and helpful. A side note - it's about a 10 minute drive into town. The trolley runs about every 2 hours or so and at 2 dollars a trip, is a great way to sightsee Kona. All in all, the Royal Palm Suite is a great place to stay; it feels like a hotel with just the right touch of homeliness to it. I would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay here when I'm back in Kona!
