How does waking up to banana rolls and sweet cake (home made) sound for your first morning in Hawaii? Or a soft bed, with plenty of covers, pillows, and a memory foam pad for your first night? Add a sparkling clean room, fresh fruit and perfect hosts to top it off and you've found the essence of Hawaiian hospitality. I highly recommend the Balai Kona Tropical Paradise. Sylvia and Karen are the perfect hosts, quick to answer requests and open ears to hear about your day. Of the numerous hotels, apartments, inn's, etc, I've stayed at over the years, this is by far the very best. Ask for Sylvia's Cheesecake, it's to die for :)
