The property looked very old and dingy. The ocean view was partial and was more of the parking lot.
It was a beautiful resort , had the best ocean view , really loved the natural lagoon, awesome bar , rooms were super clean , but basic ..better mini fridge wnd updated bathrooms would make this a 10 out of 10 instead of 8.
Check in was a bit chaotic, as people were coming in by the droves for the luau, and there is no staff member, or even any signs, other than a “10 minute only loading and unloading” sign to help you at the entrance. The check in staff was polite enough, but we had to ask which direction to go to find our room. The property is in pretty serious need of an update. We had a ocean view room, and the view and the ocean sounds were nice. My husband looked at the pool area, but said it was small and very little shade. The lagoon is not worth spending time there. We’ll probably not stay here again. We were just in Kona for a couple of days before going to other parts of the island, but would probably stay further out at a nicer resort and drive in when we want to Kona as we have in the past.
This property was so beautiful! Don the beachcomber bar was great! The views were amazing! Drinks were delicious. The room it's self was alittle outdated, but it had a fridge a sink. Bed was comfy. My partial view was amazing! You're truly walking distance from town. Everything is right there!! Allot of restaurants. Some close early tho. Kona is beautiful.
I loved the open air facilities. The hotel was clean but old needs a bit of a remodeling job. Beds were old and should have been at least queen size instead of full. But overall was a nice place
Loved all the people but the walls are dirty and needs to be updated
The view is beautiful from the property. Also, it sits on the main strip of Alii Dr so there are plenty of opportunities to get out eat, shop, etc.
Did not enjoy loud music from neighboring properties, did not enjoy panhandlers.
Location is awesome. You don't go to Hawaii to sit in your room! Staff is excellent from the front desk to the maids who will wish you a good day if you see them in the hallway. I've been there twice and I hope to go back. Spend the extra money and stay in one of the rooms in the north building top floor facing west. The sunsets from there will be worth it. GO! Take the submarine tour and the Blue Hawaiin helicopter tour along with a trip to the top of Mauna Kai. You will never forget !
The rooms could extremely using updated the beds are garbage
Had a private "lagoon", that was very nice. Grounds were gorgeous.
Property old & not upgraded, disappointing in the end!!
Being on the side of Huggo's, it was very loud with the music on at the bars around the area.
