Perfect location! You check in at the front desk. It was very smooth. The grounds are beautiful!!! And it is right in town. You don’t need a car if you are planning on staying in Kona. It is a very walkable location. If you do get a car, note there isn’t always parking after 8 pm. There is free parking on the side of the road a couple blocks away though. Great place overall. Loved the hot tub and pool. Super quiet too.
