Beautiful Forest Location
This property is at a higher elevation which is great to come back to after a hot day on the beach. That said it is quite cool in the morning and evenings - we wore sweatshirts and pants inside. Mid-morning it starts to warm up and the back lanai is a beautiful spot to lounge in the sun.
The cottage grounds are beautiful - with lush, tropical plants everywhere. We had no issues with mosquitoes, just the odd moth but didn’t bother us.
Inside of the suite does feel like a cottage in the forest and not a hotel. Floors were not the cleanest and there were some dead bugs in the throw rugs. We did find a couple cockroaches in the kitchen around the sink, but I would expect this anywhere in this sort of environment. Some appliances could use a clean (coffee maker).
The cottage itself provided everything we needed - from shower amenities/hairdryer, to extra sunscreen to beach chairs and snorkel equipment. The beach umbrella was a lifesaver and we used it on a number of occasions. Our beach towels did get quite grimy after a couple days. Our host did ask if we wanted replacements but it was almost the end of our stay and we didn’t have any more trips planned.
Bed was comfortable and blankets the perfect weight. Tree frogs are loud but earplugs block them out completely and they stop sometime around 1 am. We got used to them after a few days and didn’t have a problem.
Would definitely recommend staying somewhere like this rather than in Kona.
