Kealakekua Donkey Balls Factory and Store Hotels

"Was terrible communication tried to get ahold of them to switch my reservation to correct island. No one got back to me. They still charged me for the stay. Terrible customer service. Would not recommend outrigger. Sheraton on Kauai was way better. Cleaner, amenities were nice. Would highly suggest the Sheraton over any outrigger. They put a bad taste in my mouth will never reserve with them again couldn’t even assist me in switching a reservation to one of their other properties. As well the property on Kauai had flood damage. My room smelled like mold and mildew. The floor was soaked. Terrible experience. "

"The family loved that the pools were so close. The only thing that wasn't great was parking."

"My stay with Kona Coast Resort was amazing, we enjoyed our stay. Rooms were spacious and the fully equipped kitchen was helpful. We were very comfortable and the restaurant attached to the resort is tasty. We were suprised to have our own washer and dryer and 2 full bathrooms. Our backyard was beautiful and relaxing with our own personal grill. The staff was attentive and made sure our needs were met. 3 hot tubs, 2 pools, and 2 kiddie pools made the stay amazing because it is accommodated. The location where it is at is wonderful because it is 15 minutes away from the actual touristy spots which made our stay more cozy. The stay was amazing and I look forward to book again."

"1. The Outrigger Kona has the architectural potential to become a brutalist masterpiece, but the property is instead treated and maintained as a drab, tacky, mediocre concrete structure. A few low cost interventions could increase the visual appeal of the property: e.g., do not paint in white the concrete but use cladding elements with rock inclusions or micro cement in a hue of gray that blends more naturally with surrounding lava rocks. 2. Should provide instruction on how to use the WiFi at the time of check-in. 3. A morbidly obese people may have slept on the mattress, the mattress in our room did not offer any support, was distorted, and overall extremely uncomfortable. "

"We assumed a hospitality listing would have A/C in a warm climate. We were wrong. Warm temps were uncomfortable. There is minimal privacy for couples. The windows are covered only by screens which can be covered by shutter blinds with gaps. One window in the front room has no covering except a screen - so anyone around can always hear into the residence at all times. A second VRBO residence on the property requires its residents to walk right by that open window to get to their residence. The lack of A/C requires residents to keep the windows open for air anyway. The windows being open reduces privacy given the proximity of other VRBO residents and the homeowner. And lastly, the windows being open at night prevents residents from blocking out the extremely loud noise of the frogs that live in the trees at night. The pool is shown in the pictures as being private, yet it is behind the property owner’s house. To put it mildly, everything that I expected about this stay was deceptively advertised in the posting. "

"Kitchen had everything you could need except a cookie sheet! We used a baking pan"

"Our stay at Gingerhill Farm Retreat was a unique and grounding experience. We stayed in the Bamboo cabin with an outdoor kitchen, shower, and sink, all supplied with propane and warm water, along with a clean compost toilet. The space was designed as an open lanai, allowing for natural cross-ventilation. We never needed the fan. The cabin was surrounded by lush vegetation, with the sounds of the jungle creating a vivid atmosphere at night and in the early morning. The common areas include a terrace overlooking the ocean beyond the tree line, offering beautiful sunset views. The staff was attentive and supportive throughout our stay. We also had the honor of meeting the owner, Ms. Mayumi Oda, often referred to as the “Matisse of Japan,” whose vision promotes healthy living and environmental awareness. This experience offered a rare balance between natural living and everyday comfort. It felt less like a stay and more like an immersion into a different way of being."

"It was a nice stay with a bedroom separated from the kitchen by a large barn door. The driveway was narrow but typical for the area and we could park right in front of the apartment. It had a full-sized refridgerator but no ice tray and no microwave. Except for the occasional barking dog it was quiet and the coqui frogs sang us to sleep."

"It is very hard to locate the property. The management said that even Uber sometimes has trouble finding it. The pools are small but very clean. The rooms were huge. Not at all crowded. Definitely need a car. Would definitely come back."
