Pat's at Punalu'u is a little piece of paradise. It is in a small town with a nearly private beach and outstanding views! We loved sitting on the lanai listening to the ocean and looking for turtles. Every morning there was at least one turtle napping on the beach. The easy beach access and the outer reef made this place great for our family! The water was shallow and the waves were not large so our kids could easily navigate around with minimal assistance. There is a bin with snorkel gear and body boards available for use. The space was very clean. We also appreciated the quick elevators and assigned parking.
The only down side was the construction. The owners made us aware of it so we weren't surprised. We needed to find somewhere else to be between 9-4 on weekdays due to the noise.
