Snorkel and Stay
One of the more relaxing evenings away from home was spent at the Outrigger Hotel in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. I checked in with no problems and was even upgraded to a partial ocean view room!I had enough time to mosey on through town to grab some dinner and watch the sun sink to the ocean (complete with a green flash).
The hotel was comfortable and situated next to a beach filled with a all sorts of fish and sea turtles. Snorkeling at Kahaluu Bay Beach Park, right next door to the hotel in the morning was one of the best snorkeling experiences I have had in Hawaii. The water was clear and the marine life was over-abundant!
Sitting at the beach bar in the evening with live music and the sound of the surf was enough to relax the body and soothe the soul for a great night of sleep!
If you are local, make sure to book their Kamaaina rate.
**Unfortunately, the Keauhou property has closed. However, the Outrigger has several other properties on the Big Island.
