We recently vacationed at Kona Sugar Shack for 4 nights. We stayed in the Ocean Suite. First off, let me say that Jae and John are very sweet people. Secondly, let me point out that the erupting volcano BLOCKS OUT THE SUN after 10 am every day until the sun rises the next day. So, coming from Seattle, we're used... more

Our family just spent a wonderful week at the Kona Sugar Shack. Eight of us rented the entire Ocean Suite as well as the Mango suite and we had plenty of room.
