"The property was in a good location easy access to buses and local shops for snacks. Breakfast was provided but very limited as a coeliac as no gluten free cereal or toaster was availlable The cooked breakfast did have some gluten free but was limited and repetitive. The weather turned when we stayed and the power went out for about 18hours which meant no lifts and no lights in the rooms. These would be things I will consider if I visit Hawaii again."
