Castle Kiahuna Plantation & Beach Bungalows
The best location on the coast. Friendly staff. A botanical garden right on the property! Plenty of working grills make it easy to cook lunch or dinner. Just 200 meters from the hotel is a beach with a large population of turtles; it's so cute to watch them. We highly recommend it!
