Resorts in Hawaii

/

We spent our first night in Hawaii at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott, where my daughter was finishing up her conference. We walked around the grounds the next morning and saw a number of plants like a screw pine

And Ohi’a lehua.

There were plenty of mynah birds around too

And a large spider in its web.

The lush grounds and fish ponds gave way to the beach.

We came back on our last evening (before we headed to the airport) to photography the sunset.

The resorts cannot close off publish access to the beaches and we walked to one that had a reef later in the week. We saw small crabs in the shallows,

Other birds,

And colorful reef fish that were coming into fish pounds that had a connection with the sea.

Our last experience with a Hawaiian resort happened when our flight was delayed by a mechanical problem. We arrive about 10 and had to leave to get back to the airport by about 2:30….so I only saw the Royal Kona Resort in the dark! I could tell there was lush vegetation and that the courtyards and hallways were open air. I was thrilled that the rooms were air conditioned. The most different feature of the room was sliding louvre doors as the window treatment for the sliding glass door to the balcony.
