At first arrival the place was lovely and pretty much exact to what the pictures had shown. It is a bit of a drive into Kona but you'll want a car when you are on the Big Island anyway to see everything there is to see. One of the features that made us choose this spot was the beautiful hot tub on the property but when we went to use it we were told it wasn't working. This was a disappointment when we looked forward to soaking in it after a long day of swimming and snorkeling. The handmade shampoo and soap and fresh coffee were a nice touch. They could use a new shower curtain (covered in mildew and mold). All in all not a bad place to stay.
