9/10 Wonderful! (1,115 reviews)

This place is pretty central to everything on the island. The bridge is out so it's a bit of an adventure to find. Just trust Google. It is a very quiet somewhat secluded area out of lahui. It's just like a dozen houses and this hotel. We really enjoyed it. There are nicer places maybe but we enjoyed the secluded more private feel.
