Nicole's room was a really pleasant surprise. The room is part of a larger complex that is private and cozy. Comfortable bed, good bathroom, and nice amenities. The room opens up onto a large shared patio with a view of the ocean, beach chairs, a pool and hot tub, and barbecue / dining area - really nice. We wanted to stay in Captain Cook (slightly south and more removed from Kona), and it was close to some great activities (snorkeling, coffee and honey tours, etc.). You need to drive to most other areas (common for Big Island), so this might not be the place if you are a larger group wanting to be closer / walking distance to a more bustling city (stay in Kona instead). For my girlfriend and I though, this place was exactly what we wanted.
