I liked staying at Island Goodes very much and would definitely recommend it to friends and family! The owners were friendly, but also respected guests privacy and did not approach them, rather maintaining a "contact us if you'd like" atmosphere. It felt like a home away from home since the property is a bed and breakfast, as opposed to a hotel. The owners live on site and are available if you have any issues but guests should be aware that they are not booking a hotel room so there isn't a desk staff available 24/7, room service, breakfast on site, pool or amenities such as this, nor are they advertised, but I think it's important for people to know this ahead of time so if these things are important to them they should look for a hotel. I personally preferred this, as I really did feel like I was in a home like atmosphere. The rooms do have the things you need to feel at home such as fridge, kitchen table, microwave, couch, tv, etc and were spacious, comfortable and very clean. My husband and I enjoyed our visit and if we make it back to the big Island, we will not hesitate to book Island Goodes again!
