Excellent location

Excellent location close to restaurants and supermarket. Friendly and efficient staff on reception. Very comfortable bed with lovely clean, white sheets. Queen room was overall quite basic and a little tired but very functional.

The place was very clean and so cute. The only thing I didn't like is you couldn't swim in pool at night after dusk. We will be tho.

Great little motel setting, cleanliness and amenities but worst mattresses and pillows I have ever experienced. Little sleep and took our backs a week to get over experience.

Really great except....

The Kona Kai has clean, nicely furnished rooms and a great pool. The bathroom was tiny but clean. Their contact with us prior to the stay was excellent. I was just disappointed that our room shared a thermostat with the front desk office. The temperature was just too cold for comfort and we didn't enjoy our stay as much as we would have. I would stay again but not in the Tahiti room.

Great time!!!

Overall, a great stay. Two things I'm suggesting. Rental #3 One: There's a sign in the bathroom that states please reuse your bath towels. Too help the environment. I get it and totally agree. It would help if we had hooks in the bathroom to hang towels. Since there's no place to put them. 2: There's a very large sofa in the living room. Looks great! BUT it's not a sofa. It's some kind of futon or bed. Laying down on it is fantastic. Sitting on it to watch TV is absolutely impossible. There was no way to get comfortable.

We had a very enjoyable time! The place was extremely clean but there was an odor in the room that was not masked by the new flooring, paint etc...almost was an ammonia lie smell. The grounds and walkways were beautiful.

Loved it!!

Great place to stay. Received call when room was ready with no early check in fee. Front desk was great and gave great insight into the island. It’s not beachfront but easy to access on e bikes. Pool was excellent and the whole stay was outstanding.
