"Good solid Condo with a nice kitchen, living room. Bed was comfortable. We chose to drive around the island so we did not spend every day there."

"We love here! The beach is in front of the hotel, very easy to access. The pools are pretty nice size, not huge. The room is so clean and nice size, the beds are so comfortable. We love the location as well, it is super easy to access 2 properties so we don’t have to eat everything in here everyday. I wish they have some shower room in the fitness area because our flight is later time so we stayed in the pool after checkout time. That’s the only reason I didn’t like it but I recommend here to stay around Waikoloa."

"The good: beautiful property and expansive, rooms were updated, clean, modern, and comfortable. Close to off-property shopping and dining (which you will need due to the expenses( The bad: there’s a single parking lot literally 0.60 miles from the room we had. It’s even further if you’re staying at the next tower over. The parking and on-campus food and drink were exorbitantly expensive. Breakfast was $55 for the buffet; if you don’t want that, you can have coffee and a danish and it will still be $21. Other food and drinks were expensive too and ordering online had a service charge added that wasn’t mentioned when you placed the order. It felt like intentional. Parking was $48 a night. It’s a pricey place and not worth it, in my opinion. The weight room needs a refurbishment too—machines were rusty and outmoded. "

"We enjoyed our stay. We stayed for a week. We did not rent a car and were fine without one. We could walk to a nearby plaza where there were restaurants and a grocery store. We took two snorkeling tours that departed right off hotel property. We enjoyed Tuesday food truck night and the Farmers Market. The pool was nice and the kids liked the slide. Some renovations occurring. The game room was closed. There is a bus from the plaza that takes you into old Kona Town where there is night life and lots of stores and restaurants. This hotel worked out well for us. On checkout day we didn’t fly out until late evening and they stored our luggage so we could enjoy an additional day in the area."

"The ac was great an the restaurant was awesome"
