A great hotel and restaurant
Tracey N (Great Haywood, United Kingdom) on May 10, 2025
On the whole I enjoyed my stay. The room we stayed in was clearly in need of repair and upgrading, especially outside balcony and the door. The hot tap on the shower didn't work but was repaired very soon ...after I reported it. Rooms were regularly serviced. Our room had a fantastic sea and sunset view which really made it for me. The restaurant served great food breakfast, lunch and dinner with excellent servers experienced throughout our stay. As a Brit who does not experience these things at home, the resort fees and parking bump up the price but are not as bad as some I experienced. The Internet in our room was not consistent so I sat in the restaurant to work (when they were quiet). I would stay here again.
Two couples twice this year. Walking distance to Kona Port.
