"The property was right on the beach, which was fabulous. Unfortunately I booked an Ocean view room with air-conditioning, and there’s no such thing. I had to choose between an ocean view or air-conditioning. The staff was incredible. They moved my bags from one room to the next. It was just sad because the ocean view room was gorgeous with a canopy and its own private balcony. But I slept like a baby with the air-conditioning. Because it is extremely hot there."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in El Hawaii?
The best area to stay in El Hawaii is directly along the beachfront, particularly near the main access points to the shore.

This area is the heart of El Hawaii, known for its expansive black sand beaches and the laid-back atmosphere.

The main activity here revolves around the ocean, with opportunities for surfing, swimming, and enjoying the sun.

Couples looking for a relaxing escape will find the beachfront appealing. The focus here is on unwinding by the ocean, enjoying the sound of the waves, and perhaps taking long strolls along the shore.
