"The room was clean and beautiful; however the air conditioning was not working properly. Maintenance came to fix it twice and stated it was fixed but it was not. They even offered to come in again during my last night but I declined because I didn’t want my day to be interrupted again and it seems as though the fixes were not working at all. The temperature in the room was tolerable during the night, so I wasn’t uncomfortably hot. I would recommend and even stay at this hotel again if I ever revisited Kona."

8/10 Good
"I booked this two bedroom, 2.5 bath at the last minute since our house lost power due to Lala and we had family coming in from out of state. It was wonderful to have electricity and air conditioning for the guests traveling with an infant. The unit was nice although it is sporting its original 2003 furnishings and decor. The beds were okay, but noisy. The primary suite TV would turn on randomly. The washer and dryer worked great for the first few days and then stopped. No biggie, we didn’t need to do anymore laundry. Both issues were reported to maintenance upon our check out and they were receptive to the alert. The pool was great and the complex was nice and quiet. The location in Waikoloa Beach is so convenient to shopping and restaurants. The price point was great for us for a last minute reprieve from hurricane outages, but if I was on a vacation and paying full price, this probably wouldn’t count as a “high end” tropical vacation experience."
