I am a global traveler and I must say that the Big Island Retreat is one of the best places I ever visited! Why?
1. The personal touch - chatting to the hostess Gigi is like talking to an old friend - she will wait for you even if you have late arrival and she will give you advice for cool places and tours to visit with a complimentary drink.

We had a great time, the sea water pool was really interesting with the sea breaking over the far wall at certain states of the tide. The other hotel swimming pool was also great together with it's 'hot tub', plenty of room and chairs etc to sit and laze around on. The apartment was exceptional, beautifully maintained and equipped, we could not have asked for anything more.
