Complimentary breakfast would be a huge plus. The property could use a good freshening up, which seems to already be underway. The staff is super friendly and the location is perfect for a Kona adventure or getaway. I absolutely love the views and the history this resort offers. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The Parking and bus stops are super convenient.
