Overall an excellent choice. The only issues we noise (the walls were thin between neighbors) and parking (only happened when we got in one night at 11:00 PM)
My stay at Kona Islander Inn has been nice, and it's ongoing .. I had to switch condo units yesterday because the first one was prebooked. The community is in a perfect location to most activities in Kona, and the shops are close by for groceries. There's a nice pool area, a welcoming lounge, and laundry facilities. Paradise everyday!
This place was very dirty! When I tried to reach the owner he was unresponsive. The bed was very uncomfortable. They offer a coffee maker but no coffee, coffee filters or any coffee fixings. We were very disappointed in this place.They advertise housekeeping but there was none. The room smelt aweful! The counter was filthy when we arrived and there was no cleaning products except for dishsoap. The clothes closet was occupied by dusty vacuum cleaner. It was so dirty that there was no way I was putting my clothes in there. All the ceiling fans were covered in a thick layer of dust. They hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Extremely disappointed!
While the condo was in an ideal location in Kona, the amenities at the property were less than what I expected. The shower and bathroom sink were filthy. There were several hairs in the shower the day we arrived and what looked like toothpaste in the bathroom sink. The bathroom mirror was also dirty, with water spots all over it. The condo needs a good overall cleaning, as there was dust and dirt all over the walls, fans, decorations, etc. It is also a little outdated. The TV should be updated as well so you don't have to use three different remotes to be able to watch TV. The Murphy bed was not too comfortable, and the pillows were so thin. Overall, it was fine but I don't think I would stay here again.
The parking is very limited. You f you donât plan to rent a car this place is ok. It is within walking distance to eating facilities, souvenir shopping and the beach via the park. For coffee addicts, there is an old fashioned coffee maker that you would need to buy filters and ground coffee which is inconvenient if youâre just staying for a few days. Great TV with cable.
Great location but this unit was ok. If youâre sensitive to loud noises ( street traffic and a very loud AC unit) or odors (hard to describe but there are lots of air fresheners in the room and one is also noisy) you may struggle with this unit.
The property had water leaking through electrical wire, through the light fixtures. Please do not stay here, as the owner/manager lied to me and said it would be fixed, whereas the cleaning lady told me that it hasnât been fixed in a while.
Incredibly dangerous.
Nice little place in very good location. 50 yard walk to water front Alii Street full of good restaurants. Very popular place. Would have been nice to have a table to eat at. I always found a place to park but parking is difficult. It is what it is. There was a $270+ fee added to my charge that I was not made aware of at time of booking. Otherwise it was a pretty inexpensive place to stay in an expensive destination
The place was very nice and in a great location. I found it strange that the host came by an knocked on the door an hour after we arrived (I had to jump out the shower to answer) and then asked me 5 times to let her know when we planned on leaving via text and with a note even tho the listing said checkout is at 10 am. Was a bit overwhelming and unnecessary.
