We had an excellent stay here for our Honeymoon. The accommodations are perfect and as described, but we benefited the most from the location. Over 4 days we were able to explore the entire west coast of the island, going as far south as Honaunau "two step" Bay where we snorkeled with dolphins, and as far north as Polulu Valley where we hiked down to the beach. We saw the Hamakua Coast on our drive to our next lodging spot in Volcano, but you could easily do a day trip from this location - Andrew will be glad to help you with directions. The only downside was the Lanai was being painted during our stay but Jeanette and Andrew were very apologetic and even compensated us with a gift card for a nearby restaurant which was great.
