Love Punalu’u Black Sand Beach

Quiet relaxing area, black sand beach is pretty cool...

5/5 - Excellent

This hotel is very remote with a great beach, hot tub and pool. Do your food shopping before leaving Hilo or Ocean View. We enjoyed it very much, but if you are looking for a lot of shopping or night life, this hotel is not a good match for you.

This property is within walking distance to Punaluu Black Beach. I visited this beach between 6am-7am in the morning and saw sea turtles swimming in the ocean. This is a perfect secluded spot if one wants privacy.
