"These are privately owned studio condos they rent out. They have a pool and hot tub.
The Desk is staffed limited hours. Our room had a small fridge, microwave, AC and a nice size tv. Very walkable. Only a block from water. Lots of Restaurants within 10-15 minute walk. Very affordable."
"Paid extra to upgrade our room to oceanfront. It was an amazing view! The sunset view was awesome and the sound of the waves from the ocean was so relaxing.
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Only thing missing was a microwave! The resort is walking distance to all the restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again.
The housekeeping staff were super friendly... although the front desk girl could have been friendlier. She needed to smile more. The restaurant staff were super friendly as well."
"The location on the hillside above Kona, was wonderful. Not every room has a sunset view so be sure to ask if that is important to you. The breakfast each day of our stay was filling and delicious, and we loved trying the coffee they grow on-site. The property and rooms were well-kept and when we asked for extra linens, they were delivered within minutes. Overall, it's a great location, clean and welcoming."

"Free breakfast in the morning was great! Hotel was close to everything and my kids loved the pool! Staff was friendly and gave some great recommendations for places to visit around town. The view was amazing to!"
"We stayed 4 nights and loved our remodeled 2 bedroom unit (looks better than some pictures we have seen so I think it was remodeled ). The kitchen was perfect for a light breakfast and coffee was provided. Loved the convenience of having a washer and dryer in the unit. Parking was outside and you don’t need to pay extra like some hotels. The two pools/ hot tubs were really nice. The only problem we encountered was the flies at the pool-they were constantly on our bodies! It would have been nice if beach chairs and umbrellas were offered. We would stay here again if we come back but I doubt we would. We didn’t think the beaches were as nice as Maui."
