I had the most comfortable and enjoyable stay for the below 3 reasons:
1. The Mauna Lani resort is scenic, tranquil and casually luxurious. Bob’s home features a gorgeous outdoor patio overlooking a luscious manicured garden (where I take my breakfast every morning), spacious private guest room. It’s also a stone’s throw away from the fitness center, pool and a 7 mins walk from The Shops where they have a grocery store, coffee and sandwich place. So in short, great accommodation with great amenities.
2. The hosts (Bob and Karen) are friendly, helpful and accommodating. I didn’t rent a car and on multiple occasions wasn’t able to find a cab to get to my friends place in Waikoloa, Bob was kind enough to offer me a ride on 3 separate occasions!
3. Cooper, their gentle and lovable Golden Retriever always comes up to you for a game of fetch but also obeys well to orders. I miss him as much I miss the beaches! :)
