It is a gorgeous place inside and out. Kitchen seemed gourmet-ready, but hey I was on vacation; only thing I prepared was morning yogurt/granola/fruit bowls, oh and Sakamoto coffee (from Waimea Coffee Company--worth driving 20 minutes to). I loved eating breakfast on lanai (which fully blocked the occasional hard February winds), gazing at amazing view, listening to birds. Loved using the gym room with ac short 2 min walk away (lovely pool there too). Loved using giant tub at home, husband loved huge shower. 4 minute drive to Mauna Kea resort (amazingly good breakfast buffet with equally amazing view), 20 min drive to Lava Lava Beach club (great drinks, solidly good food, very busy, open air on Waikaloa's pretty A Bay beach), 10 min drive to best beach (Hapuna). Amazing sunshine thanks to Kohala coast location. 5 min to Kohala Divers in Kawaihae (Great Dive Op!). But . . . the bed was horribly soft and uncomfortable (sadly no bed lasts very long these days, no matter how high end), and trying to get hot water out of anything but the shower and tub (both of which strangely produced hot water quickly), was impossible. Hopefully you won't need it from kitchen or bathroom faucets. But truly I will put up with minor things like that to stay somewhere so clean, high-class, and, good grief that Lanai, so perfect for a relaxing vacation! I have a date with it again next February!
