Pams place was a great stay for us before we headed to other parts of the island. It is super close to Kahaluu Bay which had nice snorkling, magic sands beach which was beautiful and one of the better beaches in close proximity to Kona, as well as the grocery store and some quick food options like subway. The couch mattress isn't the most comfortable thing but for someone looking for an affordable option for a group of 4 for just a few nights it was definitely reasonable. The bathroom is huge and they provided awesome beach supplies for us to use (chairs, boards, cooler, etc). They checked in with us and re-supplied anything we needed. And as a plus their dog was adorable and friendly :)
