Resort was a little above average. They are currently undergoing renovations. The furniture could use some updating and bed was not supportive enough for my back. Otherwise, it's a nice hotel, close to shops and restaurants and right on the beach.

Review before booking.
Hotel is old, not updated. Air conditioner went out. Outage lasted three days. No notice or apologies. No fans available when asked. Most disappointing service at the bar. Servers were rude. We were treated poorly. Room service staff was polite.

4/10 Fair

Not great.
This property is not in the best condition. There are many cracks in the concrete of the balcony, no privacy between balconies, appeared very dated despite what I read was a renovation in recent years. The location is great, the complementary Mai tai was good! The pool is small but fine with a nice view of the waves. Service was fine, not anything to write home about. Experience was fair but would not stay here again.

Great service!
Our flight was canceled at the last minute and we needed a place to stay overnight. Of course, all of the motels on the app raised their prices immediately when they realized there was activity late at night with everyone trying to book a room. I was able to find a room at the Kona resort at their usual price. The staff member that checked us in was so kind and offered us a cot as we needed a third bed. Even though our stay was short, it was very enjoyable, and we greatly appreciated the service and lovely accommodations.

6/10 Good

Nice in the 70’s but not worth the price to stay h
Large room but not updated in years. Huge balcony but with a raised table and counter height seats. No lounge chose, nothing to allow you to sit comfortably in your balcony. Loud bar next to the hotel plays music well into the night. Pool is small and construction noise from a tower renovation prevents you from enjoying being at the pool. The food at the restaurant was mediocre. Staff was very pleasant. I got a massage against my better judgement (they are never worth the money at hotels) and sure enough, it was like paying someone to rub oil on your skin.

This is a second time staying this hotel. While the building may be older, the inside and inside of the room has been very comfortable. The view from the run is excellent from both partial and full ocean view. Farmers market, bar, restaurant, ABC store, everything is in walking distance and feels safe to do so. Great place to stay
