Recent guest reviews

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 The room it's self was alittle outdated, but it had a fridge a sink.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.

Room at the ocean was great. Property in need of repairs. Charged for Wifi and parking. Luau on property was mediocre.

Its was very pretty and friendly loved it.Everyone was super helpfull

We arrived late after a long flight got to our room. The lights didn’t work and went to bed . The morning finds no soap shampoo or conditioner. We left.

We had a great time and will definitely stay there again!
