We booked without realizing there was no air-conditioning. Thats on us. It did get muggy inside but with fans at night it was doable. We killed 3 roaches and there were a lot of gnat type insects. I think they are common in the island. Pool and view is incredible. Rooms were clean and very nice. Landscaping, pool, grounds all very nice. Price was great. Next time would opt for something with AC and no roaches.

If you are on the fence about this hotel…..do it!! Staff is extremely kind and helpful. You can lay on the bed and watch the surfers riding the waves and watch so many crabs just hanging out. The sunsets are breathtaking from the pool. Open up the windows and listen to the waves all night long. Just wow!! Yes, there is no tv or ac…..but who cares when you can feel the ocean breeze all night long. Definitely recommend having a smaller vehicle as the parking lot is small but it is FREE.

Very honest review: this is one of the most affordable stays in Oceanside Kona. Our hotel attendant, Harrison, went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and convenient. 5 stars for staff and service! The room was quaint but had necessary utilities including a spacious shower a king size bed coffee maker toaster dishes and a fan. Not having a/c was the biggest drawback, but was not a dealbreaker. The room definitely had some minimal wear as well, but still felt like home. Being a guest includes access to snorkeling gear, boogie boards, a great pool and outdoor shower, ice machine and more. The snorkeling a few steps away from your lanai is absolutely amazing, though it can be sketchy getting in If you are a traveller looking for a quiet little hidden gem at a bargain (for Kona) this is for you!

Perfect Big Island retreat!

Charming hotel & room! No TV or AC, but with the fans with the lanai door open the ocean breeze was amazing. Didn't need a TV, it dIdn't fit the vibe of the Big Island for me. Instead, we fell asleep to the sound of the ocean waves, not a TV. Bed was super comfortable! I would definitely come back here for another stay! View from the lanai was amazing as well (watched the sunset).
