Great option for staying on the east side of the island. We used this place as a base for day trips into Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. The black sand beach is awesome and gives you a great view of the turtles.
One thing we wanted to note: there is no air conditioning in the unit. This wasn't too bad when we were there since there are fans throughout the property, but it still made for quite a temperature difference coming from the Kohala coast.
