It was above my expectations and more. From the moment I arrived to when I left, it was true aloha. Immaculately clean space with everything you could want or need. Beautiful sunset views off the Lanai. Private and very comfortable space. Gorgeous neighborhood not far away from fun activities, great restaurants, and wonderful beaches. Far enough away to relax and unwind after an eventful day. The spa shower was better than what I've experienced in 4-Star hotel suites! A haven within paradise. A fair warning you will not want to leave. So book that extra night or two if you're exploring the Big Island. If you plan on staying in Kona for the entirety of your trip look no further than Hale Kea!
