The place is even nicer than the pictures. This place is in a beautifully landscaped development and this is a great location for this part of the island. You can walk to the beach and snorkel - there are fish and large sea turtles. Turtles even sleep on beach some times. Nearby King and Queen Markets are real convenient for shopping or eating out. Almost all beaches on big island are rocky. If you want a beautiful pure sand beach go to Hapuna - about 15 minutes north. Also plan your excursions in advance they book up.
