Over yonder, get your caffeine boost and geological lessons exploring famed Kona coffee farms, Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Once you’ve had your fill, recharge on our sun deck, sandy lounge, and beachy lawn space before watching the Pacific wink good night from your balcony.

Our room was absolutely amazing — very comfortable, clean, and beautifully maintained. The ocean view from the room was stunning and made our stay even more special. Waking up and seeing the ocean every morning was truly unforgettable. The service was excellent from start to finish — the staff were friendly, helpful, and always made us feel welcome. The whole atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing and enjoyable... We would definitely love to come back and highly recommend this hotel to others.

My second visit to the best paradise on earth! Truly a place to relax, swim enjoy sunsets, walk , do anything, do nothing! Watch the great view from your veranda or let the waves sing u to sleep. You have everything u need in your unit including washing machine & dryer making your holiday so easy. You can come & go as you please with plenty of parking. Staff are wonderful and so helpful, making u feel part of the family. This is the only place to stay in Kona! I would live there if i could, certainly will be back again asap!
