We would highly recommend staying here and especially ran by Resortica! It started before our trip to the Big Island when they asked for our flight information. When they found out we were arriving way before check in, they were considerate enough to let us check in much earlier. And another couple with us were able to get in the night before for a good price since they arrived almost midnight before our booked accommodation. The place was very clean and it felt like home. Pictures are nice but it certainly was better in person. This is centrally located on the island itself and would recommend a Jeep or car when staying here. Although it was nice having a couple shopping plazas with restaurants and markets within walking distance too. The townhouse was well equipped for the beach. And if you don’t feel like going to the beach, there’s the Hilton pool pass with free parking ($30 a day without it). Overall we loved our stay there and it was spacious for 4 people and can easily accommodate 8 people comfortably. 2 of the bedrooms upstairs had their own bathroom and a shared bathroom downstairs. There was one night we went to Costco and bought steaks to grill there.
The location was roughly 20 minutes from Kona airport and about 30 minutes to Kailua-Kona area. If you plan to go to Hilo or Volcanic National Park, it’s a good 1.5 to 2 hours drive from here. Hapuna Beach was really nice and only within 15 minutes.
Awesome place! You won’t regret staying here.
