We loved staying here! The gardens, fountains, tropical plants, and flowers were beautiful and so well maintained. The upstairs accommodations were nicely decorated and we had plenty of room. The "outdoor" shower was awesome! The lanai was a favorite place to drink coffee and eat dinner in the evening while enjoying the beautiful sunsets. I personally loved the Coqui Frogs but those little guys are loud especially at dusk and in the earlier part of the evening. The noise they make is a mating call and it's just what they do. Running the AC or using ear plugs can offset the frogs but I enjoyed them naturally. There was some car and truck noise from the road during the day but at night it's pretty quiet. Do bring mosquito spray if you are prone to bites. Loved watching the beautiful Gold Dust Day Geckos on the lanai. We loved the location in Captain Cook and Kona is close enough to get to. Shaka Tacoz was delicious! It's super close. John was very friendly and helpful. We missed meeting his wife Nat but perhaps on a return trip.
