Moana O Sina is a small but beautiful little hotel we went to check out for some friends who were coming over. It was a wonderful place, but I am including it here because of one extraordinary feature: the pool. It sits right on top of a lava-rock shoreline which gets pounded with waves. The feeling of the hotel and grounds is so peaceful and quiet, like a Japanese garden, with a very quiet pool area except for the waves crashing just beyond it. The two things just don’t seem to go together and it makes for a stunning setting.
There was a famous site a few miles away called “Turtle and Shark.” It was lovely and dramatic with waves breaking over the rocks, but I think the Moana O Sina takes the prize. -Cyndi
