This is not a hotel or motel in the traditional sense; it is an older complex of condominiums that are “individually owned and decorated” according to the literature we received at check-in. This arrangement isn’t necessarily bad, but it leaves the level of unit maintenance up to individual owners, and it shows. We were in two different units for two... More

We had one of the units accross the road, with full kitchen and everything you might need so that was good. Our next door neighbours were very friendly and told us they owned their unit. So I suspect, settings and furnishing might vary from unit to unit. Ours was nice and we had a great view. It WAS noisy near... More

My wife and I arrived on 15 Apr 13. Our plane was delayed, so when we got to the Kona Bali Kai after the 10PM closing of the desk, had to figure out how to get into our room. Luckily a security guard was on his rounds and he helped us get in. We had Rm #211, close to elevator... More

We rented a 3 bedroom unit for our first night on the Big Island. Although the unit was spacious, it was dirty and poorly maintained. Dust was everywhere, particularly when moving cushions around. Given that 3 people in our party of 4 have dust allergies it was a very unpleasant night. One of the bedrooms was actually just a pull-out... More

We stayed in Unit #205 the first part of March. We booked our Hawaii trip through our travel agency and this is where they put us. The condo had a oceanfront view and was spacious. However Unit #205 was anything but “pleasant.” It definitely was not as pictured on website and was very disappointing. It was dirty, dusty and noisy,... More

The units with kitchens are across the street from the beach and not all will have ocean views. Ours did and we enjoyed sitting on the lanai and watching the surf. We used the BBQ and enjoyed the beautiful garden setting surrounding the buildings. There is easy access to the beach with lawn chairs and park benches available. The kitchen... More

We spent four wonderful nights in a 2BR/2bath condo. The room could benefit with a remodeling update, but it was adequately maintained. The ocean views are exceptional and complemented by the sound of waves. A great value.

We stayed here for one night in March and then again for several nights in April. The lanai overlooking the ocean was wonderful. Big surf and surfers right in front of us and the roar of the surf at night made it very enjoyable. The rooms themselves were nice but dated. Clearly a reinvestment is in order. That being said...

Great location right on the beach and wonderful to watch the sunset. Our apartment had great facilities with a full kitchen. Internet was fast with free DSL in room which was great when travelling with a laptop. Friendly and helpful staff.

I was a bit nervous booking this property based on the mixed reviews. But, I'm SO happy we took the chance! Our friends were getting married @ The Royal Kona Resort, but having been there before we wanted to stay somewhere different, but still close by.
