Castle Kanaloa at Kona
Great location and surrounding areas of this resort.close to the beaches suitable for snorkeling where we went every day. Beautiful green space in the resort and it has three swimming pools but we just didn’t have time to enjoy. Love the space of the unit we stayed. Very clean, staff are very nice ...
