This small resort nestled on Napili’s white sandy cove feels like a well-kept secret. For 50- plus years, the staff here has been welcoming return guests for a taste of unspoiled paradise. The weekly mai tai and golf putting parties are blasts from the past, but the modern conveniences in each unit and startling ocean views will focus you on the splendid here and now. From the three buildings on the point (Puna, Puna 2, and Lani), you can gaze from your bed at the ocean, which looks like an infinity pool starting at the edge of your lanai. All units (aside from eight hotel rooms) have full kitchens, washer/dryers, flatscreen TVs, ultra-comfortable king-size beds, and private lanais separated by attractive shoji screens. Hawaiian cultural activities include poi pounding and lauhala weaving workshops and weekly authentic keiki (children’s) hula shows and slack-key-guitar concerts, the latter led by Grammy award–winning musician George Kahumoku. Kids 12 and under eat for free at the resort’s Sea House restaurant, which also has great happy-hour specials. As cozy as the rooms are, you’ll probably spend most of your time on the beach or in the protected bay paddling past lazy sea turtles. Note: There’s no resort fee. The lower rates listed below apply most of the year; the higher rates are for the Christmas/New Year’s period.
