I stayed here for three nights and had a great time. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. It's a very laid back, relaxed atmosphere. It's a short walk to the Ali'i drive, which is the ocean front road in Kona. The rooms were clean, fresh linens/towels were given at check in, clean kitchen and bathroom. Several hammocks, bird feeders, freshwater fish pond, pinapple garden, herb garden, comfortable couches, and nice backpacker aged guests. I ended up traveling with a guy I met there - I wouldn't have gotten to travel around the island if it wasn't for staying here.
