on March 19, 2005I stayed at this resort during my March 2005 visit to the Big Island. This condominium resort seems to consist mostly of timeshare units. My unit was a one-bedroom and was very spacious, clean and reasonably well kept up although it must have been one of the oldest units in the place. The kitchen was very well equipped with an oven, a microwave and a dishwasher; there was also an in-unit washer/dryer, which was very convenient.
For some reason, the in-room safe had been removed from the closet of the bedroom, and so I had to store my laptop every day during the day at the front. A minor inconvenience.
The swimming pool area of the resort was lovely! It was not quite large enough for serious exercising, but perfect for cooling down and relaxing, with a jacuzzi next to it and an activities hut where you can rent gear. There is a bar/restraurant adjacent to the pool but it closed at 8 p.m.
One of the best things about the resort was the view of the sea across a golf course. Every evening, we the guests would go down across the golf course (no doubt to the grief of the country club!) to the shore to watch the sunset; there is even a blowhole on the shore. I was able to see the Green Flash one evening.
The resort is very conveniently located across from the Keauhou Shopping Center, where you can buy your supplies, and is close to the Keauhou Bay.
