IMG_0310(25) copy

There was a veranda.

IMG_0310(18) copy

There was a table with two chairs. I enjoyed a relaxing time bathing in sunlight. There were not many people walking in the garden, so it was very private. 

IMG_0310(4) copy

My room was on the first floor so I could not see the ocean, but the “Spa Without Walls” right by the veranda created a nice and calm atmosphere. If you stay in one of the rooms on the upper floor, you will be able to see the ocean, garden and the pool.

Hotel Surroundings

There are no shops or buildings around the hotel other than the shopping mall. It is a quiet area surrounded by nature, so you can spend a relaxing time. There are no transportations other than the shuttle bus, so you need to rent a car or take a taxi to get to the city of Kailua-Kona or the airport. Five minutes by car from the hotel is the “Fishpond,” one of the world’s three biggest power spots, where you can enjoy the power of nature.

Summary

I had a very nice stay at this hotel. I was able to relax in a resort hotel. The area around the hotel was quiet with a nice view of the ocean. You can enjoy yourself without having to leave the hotel. The dinner with a great view of the sunset was exceptional, and the fresh seafood was delicious and satisfying. In addition, breakfast had a variety of Hawaiian dishes and fruits to pick from and I was very content. I was also able to spend a relaxing time at the spa and pool. Overall, I had an amazing stay and I would love to stay here again.
