This was a great place to stay. Good location with all the amenities of home. The pool and spa were great if you didn't want to head to the beach. A grocery store and a couple of restaurants were within walking distance, as well as one beach that is good for snorkeling. Downtown Kona was an easy 10-15 minute drive away. The place itself was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. I had a great vacation on the Big Island and would definitely recommend staying at the Shangri-La. Exactly what I was looking for.
