The location of this place is perfect for anyone who enjoys hiking, relaxing on the beach, snorkeling, the best massage of your life (Patti at Ko'a Kea), playing in the waves, and boogie boarding.
I spent most of my time writing and enjoyed waking up early, going for a jog along the coast, and then writing all day. Took dips in the ocean when my shoulders got sore.
Wildlife I saw included baby tortoises, giant sea turtles, juvenile monk seals playing near the shore, and a 5-week-old monk seal pup with its mom.
The place was well-stocked with all of the dishes I needed to cook meals and basic beach amenities like boards, chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler. The only thing I'd suggest buying is a pair of ear plugs if, like me, you plan to go to bed between 7-8pm. With no air conditioning in any units, my early nights were sometimes interrupted by a baby crying or someone out partying. I'm not saying the resort is loud, it is really quiet, comparatively. I just had a different agenda than most.
Barbara was very quick to respond and gave me all kinds of great tips based on stuff I enjoy. I'd definitely stay here again!
