I'm not sure the issues with this facility could be easily fixed. The problems are with location and a ceiling that's too low. I hit my head several times on the beam across the middle of the room. The facility was well maintained, clean, and quiet and all the typical amenities you would expect are available. At this price point I don't think I'd stay at this facility again.

Max was a very accommodating and friendly host. He responded to our questions and answered them in a timely manner. The suite was very clean and the bed extremely comfortable. The backyard was peaceful, serene and restful place to sit and relax.

Spacious, well appointed room attached to host’s home. Large open yard for guests only. Low ceiling caution for tall people ( didn’t impact our stay). Host very communicative. Nice neighborhood. Services-groceries, gas- available a couple miles away.

Tthis is a wonderful ohana in Waikoloa Village. The village is centrally located and is only 20 minutes away from resorts, Kawaihae Harbor, and Waimea. The apartment is well-equipped, comfortable, and private. The property is beautiful and Max is a fantastic host. Looking forward to the next chance to stay there! Thanks, Adolfo
