This is a centrally locates unit, very close to the pool and pavilion (where the grills are located)! Short walking distance to a decent restaurant. The beach and shops are too far of a walk either! Convenient late night check in and late check out available (for an extra fee, but worth it when traveling with kids or later flights). The unit it self was a tad dated (a few things not super toddler friendly, but we made due), but who stays in their rooms for very long while visiting Hawaii! Waikoloa Village is a great area with plenty to do if you don’t want to sight see. Very good beaches less than a 15 min drive also! We would stay again!
