Very close to downtown, central to the touristy areas of Kona and for day trips based from Kona area - would be ideal for the manta ray snorkel, and was good for a day time snorkel trip we did. Overall nice ocean view but the buildings immediately around are a bit dilapidated which sort of takes away from it. Parking and checkin were a bit confusing but we were able to figure it out! Appreciated the on-site contact in case we needed assistance.
