We really really enjoyed our stay at the Hale Ama. It was a special treat to celebrate my wife's 50th. The views and sunsets are spectacular. The home was lovely, with beautiful furniture, plenty of amenities, and a great size for my family and in-laws. The large deck was a favorite spot perfect for morning coffee and fresh malasadas from up the road. It also was pretty great for afternoon naps after the days adventure. And my girls loved exploring the tide pools discovering all kinds of fish, turtles, eels, and large undamaged seashells. Joe was easy to work with and the local manager Holly took good care of us. Only downside was that we had to leave. Can't wait to return!

We were here for a destination wedding and took our 20 something adult children along with a girlfriend and friend. The house was fabulous. Great location and Holly, the contact, was available 24/7 with quick communication and sincerity. Would definitely rent this home again!

To give our visit 20 out of 10 stars would be an understatement. Our rave review is that big and truly sincere.
The house is beautiful. She took our breath away from the moment we met the buddha in the driveway. Entering the front door we gasped - view, warm wood and colors, inviting chairs, wonderfully stocked kitchen. The pictures do not do the experience justice!
What really touched us though - and each of the 5 of us felt it - was the way that this house feels loved. It feels a house designed for humans to be happy in, to be well held in, to find nooks to read in, areas in which to connect. . . It also is a HOME that holds you well when your world falls apart.
Two unimaginable griefs visited our group while we were there. We had noticed the love and care in this house, the attention to detail, but it wasn't 'til the unimaginable visited that we truly felt how well she held us. This is no property fixed up for rental. There is a soul that lives in her and we are deeply grateful to her and those who care for her so well.
Thank you, thank you. . .

There were 6 of us and we really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and we all had plenty of room. The kitchen is perfect for cooking a meal, which we did many times, and the dining area is roomy too. The sunsets in Puako are incredible - the colors and the contrast. There were sea turtle in back of the house and the water was warm too! It was a perfect break! We will be back!

Just as pictured! Well stocked and equipped. Had a couple issues that were taken care of. Great host! ONLY complaint…why such a difficult stove top 😂. Only a couple people in the group of 8 could properly work it!

If you're looking for a perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the spirit of the islands, Hale Ama will meet your needs perfectly. Warm breezes, gentle surf, turtles, whales, and dolphins passing the lanai, while world class snorkeling awaits you just beyond your backyard. Each night we enjoyed our evening meal oceanside just before catching another Hawaiian sunset and then retiring for another comfortable, quiet night's sleep. Kayaking is available, along with shoreline hikes, easy access to beautiful beaches, scuba diving, etc. We've vacationed on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the big island, and Hale Ama at Puako is our favorite destination. Highly recommend.

Hale Ama is a beautiful home on the coast - lots of interesting tide pools to explore - snorkeling right outside the door. Lovely beaches close by.
A great set up for a larger family with en suite bathrooms.
Good working kitchen - great lanai with lots of space.
Whales! Rainbows!

This is a wonderful property with ample space for a large group. Large bedrooms and open, gracious indoor and outdoor living areas. The home is beautiful, with attractive furnishings and an open layout. Beautiful sunsets every night. The property manager lives nearby and was attentive to any questions or issues that came up. It is conveniently located on the Kohala Coast, very close to Hapuna Beach and nearby resorts and golf courses. A short drive to Waikoloa Village for groceries and shopping. There is also a general store just down the road for immediate needs.

Spoacious Oceanfront Villa
This exceptionally well-appointed Puako Beach house is directly on the water. It offers a very private experience, complete with beautiful tide pools in front of the house and visiting turtles that frequent the area. The main house generously provides three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Extensive common areas are well-appointed and welcoming, especially the lanai, which wraps around the ocean side of the house and offers a variety of sitting areas for great conversations (or naps!) The main living room / dining area is spacious, beautifully appointed, and comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well appointed (Wolf induction stovetop; SubZero refrigerator and freezer; food processor, etc.) and comes with a spice drawer and baking supplies, which offer lots of potential for creative morning delicacies or savory late dinners. The TV room easily accommodates gatherings for relaxing around the home theatre. A separate cottage behind the main house offers an exclusive bedroom / bathrooms / small kitchen and sitting room. If a couple in the group needs a little more privacy, this is the spot!
It was a delight to be here and we hope to return! It is a gem of a property that assures you will be welcomed with the very best of Hawaii’s hospitality. Aloha!

"Home" in paradise!
Our extended family wanted a "perfect" Hawaii vacation after the trials of Covid. We found it at Hale Ama. Snorkeling, kayaking, beachcombing, and turtle watching are great right behind the house! Even saw dolphins and a whale from the lanai! The accommodations are spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable. Whatever your desire, it seems easily fulfilled. In fact, we enjoyed our stay so much, we spent most of our time just "kicking back" and taking in the ocean view, breeze, and beautiful sunsets. We hope to return, and if you go, I'm confident you won't be disappointed.

A magical vacation
Our 3 generation family had a wonderful 2 weeks together in Hale Ama. Hale Ama is a beautiful and comfortable beach house in a perfect location. Plenty of space for gathering, and for quiet time. A great well-stocked kitchen and a colorful picnic table on the lanai, that was our meal time gathering space.
Nightly sunsets, whales, turtles!
Easy communication with Joe and Holly.
Mahalo!

Incredible home -- a truly happy place!
Words can't do justice to the beauty, peacefulness and warmth of this house and location. We have stayed in many homes and Hale Ama is by far the best. The house is immaculately cared for by Holly (our greeter & caretaker) and no details have been overlooked by the owner -- from a layout that allows people space as well as gatherings around the outdoor porches; comfortable great rooms; beach & lava shores; the kitchen island and wonderful dining table; to the ocean breezes flowing through the house and bedrooms; to all of the little touches, including snorkeling gear and beach shoes, an extremely well stocked kitchen (a coffee grinder & milk frother as well as a Kitchenaid mixer, Vitamix and Cuisinart!). The house was also incredibly well maintained and clean (a bonus in these days of Covid precautions). We also loved the location with the ocean & tide pool walks out the back door as well as nearby beaches for snorkeling and swimming/boogie boarding and nearby Waimea with great dining options away from all of the resorts. A true gem.

Great stay at Hale Ama
We loved our stay at Hale Ama and recommend it HIGHLY. We were two families of 4 w/teens. Saw turtles daily and didn't need to get on the main highway to do incredible snorkling. The house is beautiful and special. A couple little mishaps along the way, but Holly handled them nicely. If you're on the fence, go for it!

Glorious Stay!
We can not express enough the pleasure we received staying in this well loved home. We stayed for 10 days, and were so sad to leave. Impressed by: the local artwork and finish details of the home, the mango flooring, nano doors, beach location, amazing chefs kitchen, bedroom setup, plus guest house, the lanai, turtles and snorkeling out the front door. Oh, and the sunsets every night. Do yourself a favor and book this place! Thank you Joe! We cared for it like it was our own.

Bliss at Hale Ama
This is a fantastic property. Hale Ama isn't just in a wonderful location and a truly beautiful home but the owner and property manager are equally as awesome. As a team the communication between them appeared flawless and made our entry and exit of the home stress free and completely enjoyable for the whole trip. Check in and check out was so smooth and easy. We felt very well taken care of.
With the island of Hawaii having so much to offer in a variety of locations we felt very centralized for exploring the whole island. Puako, being north of Kona and out of the city, also added some extra relaxation with some peace and quiet. This property is located on a very peaceful street and we felt very comfortable exploring the area. Its also nice to stay in a home where the owner is very much respected by the neighbors and have wonderful things to say about him.
I must reaffirm that the pictures of this house do not do it justice and Hale Ama was more magnificent than expected. We loved being able to open up the entire wall facing the ocean to let the Hawaiian breeze into the home. All amenities worked great and the home was able to offer more than we ever needed at all times.
Zero complaints, we had a wonderful stay and yes, handfuls of turtles every single day.

A special place in paradise!
Not sure if you can find a better home or location to stay while in paradise!
Our family of 8 adults loved this home. Not only was it spacious and beautiful it was also highly functional. The kitchen is equipped with most anything you could desire.
There are great gathering areas, our favourite was coffee in the morning viewing whales or watching sunsets on the lanai. Every day we slide the glass doors back and opened the living space to the beautiful breeze and sounds of the ocean. Every night we fell asleep to the sound of the ocean through the screen of the master bedroom lanai door. Best sleep we’ve had in years.
Yet there is also enough room to find a quiet corner if you wanted some alone time.
The house managers, Peter and Holly, were very gracious and made sure we were well looked after.
Dealing with the owner, Joe, was easy and pleasant.
We enjoyed the little touches like the water shoes and beach towels provided so we didn’t have to pack our own.
We did not have to go far to enjoy the ocean - it’s right out front!
We walked the beach, swam with the turtles, snorkeled, kayaked and did some stand up paddle boarding. Sand beaches are a short car drive away.
Tearing ourselves away from this house to return home was incredibly hard.
We are definitely planing on returning to this amazing Hawaiian home.

Beauty on the Beach
This is my second vacation to Hale Ama! This place is so magical that you never want to leave. Every time I walk through the front door I have to stop and just look at the beauty in front of me. The house is so open and breezy with spectacular views from every room. We would start our day with a beautiful walk along the beach. Jump on in the water in front of the house and you will have a swim with the turtles. Everyday! You can walk for miles on the beach! We would get back and cook breakfast. This kitchen has everything and more. Enjoy sitting on the lanai with the beautiful hand painted picnic table that tells it's story. You will have your own by the end of your trip! Puako is a magical place of it's own. It's quiet and friendly with the greatest little General Store just down the street. We would visit "Da Fish House" everyday just down the road and buy fresh fish. There is an outside built-in Viking grill with sear station and sink. Why go out? So much fun...We enjoyed sitting on the lanai every evening watching the beautiful sunsets and then find ourselves dancing under the stars. The stereo system is easy (Sonos) and you can pair with your own playlist or enjoy theirs.
If should leave this slice of heaven, there is so much to see on this side of the Island. We loved the Farmers Market in Waimea and the neighboring little towns.
I will always have a special place in my heart and soul for the Hale Ama. Words sometimes just can't say enough. I finally put the camera away because it just can't capture the true beauty. I will be back!

A Great Bit Of Heaven - No Words To Adequately Describe The Experience
Our trip was a reunion for my wife's siblings and spouses. We had seven people there, all of which were around 60 years old and the trip was fantastic. The home and views are breathtaking. I am always reluctant in trusting the pictures the owners provide on their website, but in this case I am pleased to admit that the actual views and the quality of the home were much better than the pictures.
My wife and I have been scuba diving at Puako for years and were desirous of staying in Puako. We typically stay in Waikoloa, which has been great; however, we just love the beauty of the reef along Puako and we enjoy a more quite and private setting.
We feel this home is one of the most beautiful homes in Puako. We stayed at Hale Ama in February and were able to watch humpback wales from the home. Everyone in our group had a great experience and is certainly a location we will look for in future trips!

A Little Bit of Paradise
Hale Ama is in a beautiful location right on the water in quiet Puako. There is no better place to watch the sunset while savoring a glass of wine. We had some great hikes all around the island. Coming home and cooking fish caught locally that day was a joy. We had our grown "kids" with us with their significant others and each couple had their own, private quarters. It was easy to get together and share time or to go separate ways. We look forward to our next stay!

Beyond Perfect!
My family voted Hale Ama the best Homeaway house we’ve ever rented! (and we’ve rented many!) The house is homey and elegant at the same time. It was perfect for seven of us, the balance of private space
( each bedroom has its own bathroom) and gathering space was just right. I have to mention the master bedroom shower: it’s the best shower ever! You get to seach the horizon for whales while washing your hair! The house is incredibly well equiped and well maintained. The location cannot be beat, we saw whales and sea turtles daily from the lanai. I highly recommend Hale Ama for the best Hawaiian vacation ever! Thank you!

Paradise in Puako
This place is the real deal. Probably the best home we've stayed in EVER and we've stayed in many of the best. Simply gorgeous interiors and exterior. It sits on a lava bed steps away from the clear, turquoise blue Pacific. There are numerous, lovely and comfortable places to sit inside and out. All rooms are beautifully decorated with Hawaiian fine art and hand crafted furniture. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with everything anyone could possibly need to prepare a meal. We used the large, well designed, outdoor bbq most nights. The bedrooms are also gorgeous, with comfortable beds, a/c, lovely linens and each one has it's own stunning bathroom. Wait until you see the dining room table. It's huge and sits by the enormous sliding glass doors with incomparable ocean views of sunrises and sunsets. My family and I can hardly wait to return.

This beachfront rental has it all!
We have traveled to Hawaii many times over the past 10 years but we have never stayed in a more beautiful, well equipped and comfortable home. The owners have thought of everything. The location can't be beat with a beautiful lanai, swimming right in front, and turtles galore.
Peter and Holly take beautiful care of the home and are available immediately as they live right down the street. This rental is a short ride to dozens of great restaurants, beaches and resorts. We will definitely be back!

Wow. No other way to describe it. What an incredible home!
This was our first time to the big Island and this property far exceeded our expectation. From the moment you step foot into the house you feel at home. The house is immaculate, the ocean breeze is incredible, and every view out the back of the house is breathtaking. We had plans to go out for several dinners during our time at the property, but with the well stocked kitchen, the covered lanai, and the beautiful sunsets, there was little reason to leave. The snorkeling was great, the bedrooms were very comfortable (they do have ac) we could not have been happier - thanks for sharing this special place with us.

Paradise come true
PUAKO PARADISE
We have been in this fantastic house for a week, in May 2017. Everything is perfect and works well. The house is decorated greatly and has everything you need. I fall in love with the kitchen’s marble, it’s like a Claude Monet impressionist picture. You can find many books in the owner’s library with lovely pictures of Hawaii, about the history, the petroglyphs of Hawaii, or about the beginning of surfing. You can even find even special shoes for the water, or canoes to go along the coast. If you want to have a barbecue, you will find a big one fully equipped. The house is in sea front line, so the sunsets, everyday different, are the nicest films you can see. You can admire and swim between the turtles, especially at sunset, when they come to rest. Don’t disturb them; they are protected.
The garden is perfect, with hammocks in the palm trees, balanced by the sweet Hawaiian breeze and with the singing of marvellous birds; it’s plenty of different kind of palm trees, primaries, mangos and bushes plenty of lovely flowers.
This house has been a perfect paradise that we’ll always remember!

Great house in a great location
We had two families staying in the house the end of July. Between the main house and the guest house, we had plenty of room for all of us. Given the constant exposure to sea elements, the house is in excellent condition. Our favorite feature was the back deck overlooking the ocean. You get to enjoy stunning views throughout the day. We saw sea turtles every morning in the tide pool area by the house. You will find restaurants and other resorts a short drive, as well as Hapuna beach, which is a gorgeous white sandy beach. We found the house manager and the owner to be very responsive and accommodating. If you are going to the Big Island, and you want to be on the water, I would highly recommend this house.

Hale Ama is Paradise
Hale Ama is Paradise...a happy welcome to feeling calm and centered, this tranquil gorgeous home was like easing into a warm bath.
The entire residence is one with the magnificent ocean and nature's surroundings ; every room is beautifully and comfortably appointed incorporating the outdoors within- its great windows and large glass doors open the house to the light and sounds of the ocean landscape. The floor plan is smartly designed to accommodate large or small groups , with many indoor and outdoor "nooks" for private escapes .
Just a few of the things that stood out for me:
Hale Ama’s serene ocean views and its constant breezes , the peaceful quiet bedrooms with very comfortable beds/mattresses , each having their own attached modern bathrooms , screened windows if you choose to sleep with the sea breeze , ceiling fans galore, a fabulous cooks' kitchen and large counter/bar, a wonderful outdoor grill....the surrounding outside deck with its loungers and charming picnic table -- it was our favorite place to dine morning, noon and night ) the kayaks , bikes and many other beach toys provided us with many a memorable experience.... snorkeling side by side with the patient wise old sea turtles whom arrived daily on "our" beach like clockwork, to take in their morning nap in the sun ...biking 10-15 minutes to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world , the delicious morning smoothies and afternoon margaritas compliments of our own giving mango tree, an incredible massage done outside in a private corner of the deck overlooking the sea , and then especially meeting the kind and helpful caretaker and his wife along with the many new lovely local friends we met .... the Puako General Store, the Waimea fish market called Hale l'a Da Fish House , and oh my... the shaved ice!!! , dancing on the roof top of the Blue Dragon , lunches at Cafe Pesto ....and most of all , the spectacular ocean sunrises and sunsets with best friends on the deck of Hale Ama !
This home and location are the absolute perfect environment for a fun , inspiring and rejuvenating get-away... It is simply remarkable and I didn't want to leave...I highly recommend ! Thanks for the sweet memories !

A truly spectacular home in a beautiful setting!!!
This has to be one of the prettiest homes on the island. It is in a very special setting right on the water with a natural turtle habitat right in front of the house. The main living area and kitchen opens up to a large lanai that runs the length of the home. Three beautifully appointed bedrooms each with lovely bathrooms. Spectacular custom woodwork in every room. It is a home that is warm, very relaxing and a place you will not want to leave, ever. I can not recommended it any higher.

MAGICAL
This house has it all! The views are breathtaking from every room in the house. I especially loved the master bathroom with the beautiful view out the window.. We enjoyed snorkeling with the turtles every morning right in from of the house and the bike rides to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The house is spacious, beautifully decorated and so cozy. We enjoyed the Hale Ama so much that we simply did not want to leave to go anywhere. Fresh mangoes everyday off the tree made for outstanding smoothies The kitchen is ready for anything and a grill that is fantastic. Geographically it's perfect. 30 minutes from Kona airport and other attractions nearby. Puako is a special little place that is uncrowded and a sweet little street with wonderful people just ready to say "Aloha"..... We loved it so much and look forward to a return trip one day....

My experience
I’d been to Kauai many times,…the lush dramatic jungle isle of the Hawaiian chain.I didn’t know what to expect coming to the Big island, just hoping our booking would be all that it seemed from ‘the Pictures’ and list of things that sounded pretty awesome. Wanting a new Hawaiian adventure, we went for it.
After a convenient stop at COSTCO right there by the Kona airport (super convenient!) we were on our way to Hale Ama along the straight lava flanked road a coté de la mer.
We were definitely on an island of molten history. You could FeeL it.
In 1/2 hour or so we drove off the main highway to Puako. the view gorgeous as we circled in closer and closer to the ocean, our rented home to be. We pull into driveway, begin the unloading. Upon opening the front door the view and the tradewinds had us all dropping our ‘loads’ and going straight to the large inviting deck at the ocean’s edge. pretty much jaw dropping. I suggest arriving in the afternoon if you can!) the caretaker has things open for your arrival.
I’ll Try make this short!
This house is built with great love and attention to detail. The choices of wood,mostly from the island, are gorgeous. the choices of artists…depicting native JoY, carved hieroglyphs in unexpected places, every dish, cooking utensils, knives, wine glasses, platters you’d need, and more. even spices! a ’temporary' home in every sense.
Look forward to turtl love in your front yard! You are in Hono Bay, so will see many…often greeting you in your front yard :-) and we saw the sprays of migrating whales when we were there. The reef out front of the house is full of colorful fish,…in a calm protected area safe for children too, and us older folk. Do bring water shoes, as you will need then to take walks on the lava. You can get them easily there or wherever you are coming from. got mine at CVS!
Home is close to fun restaurants, markets, And farmer’s markets, and galleries….lots of hiking and seafaring opportunities of course! Yet the beauty for me, was that you are off the main drag of hotels and lots of folks vying for a place to sit or take in this paradise. call me selfish,…but sharing this with your loved ones is something you won’t forget.
At Hale Ama there is one surprise after another. Just GO !!!
ohhhhhh yeahhhhh. Unbelievable. this renter throws in an amazing masseuse gift.there at the house,...on the deck. And she’s excellent,... you will want her back! crazy good stufffffff.

What a vacation!
From the moment we landed in Kona, it felt like this was going to be a once-in-a-lifetime vacation…and that is exactly what it was…the Hale Ama Puako was perfect. This spectacular ocean front home has it all…views, privacy, location, serenity…with every comfort you need and more. When you walk through the front door, not just the first time, but every time, it looks like a scene from a living painting. This view transcends through the living room out into the ocean as if you are seeing one continuous space. At the end of each day, this same view has the most indescribably beautiful sunsets illuminating every room…I will never forget these moments or this home.
The living room opens up to the Lanai for everyone to be together where we relished our morning coffee, meals and laughter…yet with separate spaces, and great lounging furniture, to curl up with a good book…or take a nap…while the cross winds create a no stress zone. There is not an amenity that has been overlooked…the kitchen, the outdoor kitchen, the media room, bathrooms, spacious and comfortable bedrooms...and the master bathroom…straight from a Hollywood movie set…the ocean outdoors…indoors.
10 stars Hale Ama Puako for a week that is now etched in my heart. The memories created with friends that I cherish from so much this home has to offer…bike riding, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, ocean-side hikes…close to everything…white sand beaches, crystal blue water, sea turtles by the dozens, island shaved ice, a fresh fish market second to none, restaurants, shopping, dancing…and the most delicious smoothies ever…made from the front yard mango tree…we did it all!!
A special thanks to the Hale Ama Puako caretakers…they made sure we had a great time and had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation…forever grateful!!
Mahalo!!

You will want for NOTHING!!!
Never let it be said there was was not a PERFECT vacation home available. This home has every comfort available in the most private beautiful water front setting. The open deck picnic table will call to you each morning for sunrise and each evening for sunset.
Your property manager , living only a few houses away, will see to your every need and will even help with the provided kayaks!
I will not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.
And by the way...the beds are the most comfortable ever!!!!

A Soulful Journey
This amazing place is now firmly implanted into my soul. Having stayed at this wonderfully appointed home in the most gorgeous location has forever changed my vision of the perfect vacation. Just walking in through the front entry took my breath away. You see the expansive views immediately and once you recover from this sight, you see the most inviting home ever imagined. I just stood still and couldn't move taking it all in. Deep luscious wood floors, an outrageous long mango dining table, state of the art gourmet kitchen, lovely comfortable living room with bookshelves that expand the side wall with art and literature are your first few steps inside. As if in a dream, I just wanted to reach out and touch everything to see if it was for real! Once I realized it was, I stepped out onto the front porch that had the most uniquely thought out table that just said 'sit down and be at peace'. Looking out over the ocean, I could see forever. At this point, I began to breathe - calmly and peacefully.
Once I realized there was more to see and that my bags were still at the front door, I ventured back inside to discover the rest of the home. I wandered down a hallway that revealed a huge media room with a large screen for viewing and the seating comfortably arranged. Off to the other side of the main floor was a sweet bedroom/ bath with it's on private entry. There is also a extra pantry and washer and dryer area smartly and privately placed on the first floor.
As I continued to my 'look see' of the house, I headed up the stairway that led to an office area and two gigantic bedrooms.The master bedroom had a ocean front deck and comfy loungers. Possibly the most unbelievable view was from the master bath shower area. Wall to wall open windows, I never wanted to get out of the shower for staring out over the ocean!
Having the most wonderful opportunity to travel with four special girlfriends, we all decided to hit 'the pause button' in our daily hectic lives and make this trip happen. The journey of discovery Puako offered was an experience that will be everlasting. Swimming in the pristine white sandy dream coves, snorkeling, kayaking and watching the sea turtles journey up on the beach daily in front of the home was amazing to witness.
Our ritual was watching the breath taking sunsets every eventing. Truly a gift:)

Just a delight!
It is perfect! From anywhere in this home you look out on a tropical panorama. It's like your own private paradise. Feel the breezes, swim and snorkel with the turtles just in front of the house. The house itself is so well designed with beautiful woodwork and details. The whole living room opens up to a lanai which is a favorite place to read or nap in the shade or sun. And the brightly painted picnic table is where you'll want to enjoy casual meals while you gaze out at the Pacific. The Puako location is also a good starting place to drive all over this wonderful island. After a long day of adventure, we love falling asleep in the comfortable bed with the sound of the waves. It is all so comforting and restful. We feel SO fortunate to have stayed here with friends. Aloha.

We had a marvelous time in our vacation on the Big Island, and a great part of it was the beautiful house where we stayed. It is very modern, clean and beautiful. The internet speed was excellent. The rooms are large; the living room has a very high ceiling (we love high ceilings :) The view is incredible, and the nano-windows allow you to enjoy it to the maximum. We spotted turtles a few times, and once I saw a whale blowing, very exciting!
Geographically it is also well located; it is on the west coast, which I think is the most convenient one, and not too far from attractions in the North and the attractions in the South of the island.
We hope to travel back, and if we do, we would love to stay here again.
