Over the rainbow....somewhere

Somewhere....over the rainbow....skies are blue.  Nowhere is that truer than Hawaii, and nowhere on the planet has more rainbows on a given day. If there is it would astound me, for on any given day in Hawaii you look to the mountains and there is a rainbow in the mist....or a sunset to behold. Above is one such sunset, taken from the grounds of the Shearton Keauhou Bay Resort Hotel.  Situated at the end of an ancient lava flow, just yards from the birthplace of Kamehameha III, the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort is a rainbow of deluxe accommodation in a perfect location.  Below is a shot of the waves crashing into a lava tube on the property.  

Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort Hotel

While in Kona for the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival the Devil Dog stayed at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort Hotel, in a fabulous 4th floor oceanfront room overlooking the scene above, waves crashing against a steller point of land carved from an ancient lava flow.

The bar at night has the added attraction of consistantly attracting a festival of manta rays just offshore through the use of floodlights, and as cool as that seems, there are actually snorkeling excursions thru Fairwind Tours to swim amongst the manta rays on a night dive.

The hotel is beautifully appointed, fabulously located, and features a lovely pool, water slide, full service spa, and a terrific restaurtant, Kai, featuring excellent fresh seafood.  It also served as a perfect base to explore the coffee farms high above in Holualoa, just above in Keauhou, or just down the road a bit in Kealekekua, Captain Cook and the legendary Honaunau.

Thank you  Sheraton for a fabulous week and a terrific base of operations.
