We stayed at Colony One Resort, which was very nice and well equipped. We had two bedrooms,two bathrooms,and a washer and dryer. Condo was roomy and comfortable. We were at Puna lu u Black Sand Beach, on the south end of Hawaii. We always enjoy going there,and watching the sea turtles on the beach. Also at the resort at Colony One,there is a golf course. We don't golf so don't know what its like.
