This lanai (balcony) added a few years to our lives. All you can see is ocean, except for a tiny, and lovely sliver of island to the right, and the sun sets center stage every day at the end of February. The place was clean, well-stocked, and the people at Grand Welcome were extremely responsive and friendly. We didn't rent a car and were glad to find Lyft very accessible in a timely way. There's a great coffee shop, Green Flash, right at one of the entrances, and the pool is lovely. If only Kona had more sidewalks! Also highly recommend Mauna Kea Summit Adventures sunset and stars tour.
