We enjoyed the open style, very comfortable (except the mosquitoes) and felt Hawaiian. (I was prepared for the mosquitoes but for some reason they REALLY liked me and then I sprayed myself in the eyes with the repellent, yikes). It was the end of our trip and we finally had some sun and a clear night sky - the stars were amazing. Bed was super comfy and the bedrooms are screened in. We were visiting friends and family so we didn't get down to Kealakekua Bay, I was disappointed to miss it this visit. My husband loved the coquis in the evening and I liked the fact that they quieted down before I went to sleep. Very glad we stayed here.
