This is not a resort, thank goodness. It is a working Ranch. The Animals are real, and great you as you come and go. It was Heaven. Everything you need, including beach supplies. No need to visit Costco. Foodland is 15min away. We have been coming to Islands for over 20yrs, and this is the 3rd time to Big Island, our favourite. This will be the only place we stay for all future trips. 15min to great coffee, Surf Camp. 20min to Best beach, Hapuna.
