We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff was very welcoming and the facilities, pool and hot tub, were a relaxing option after a day of exploring this beautiful area, swimming and snorkeling in its beautiful beaches. I appreciated their delicious free Kona coffee, a must-try Hawaiian specialty.
