The location of the hotel was ideal: very close to the ocean, shopping and food. The rooms were nice, but there were problems…the AC didn’t blow cold air and it was SO LOUD! The toilet ran the whole time we were there. Parking was definitely an issue, as in we almost could never park on site. When you first check in you initial all these different fines they might charge you for, some things that makes sense, but other things that were weird and random. Also on the door to your room is a sign to take out your own garbage, and clean your dishes or you’ll be fined. It didn’t make for a very welcoming feeling to think they were hoping to catch you doing something that would make you have to pay additional fees.

Lot's of maintenance issues. First the door lock wouldn't open and I had to call someone on another island. Remote for AC didn't work, hot tub broken down for weeks and power went out but the back-up system didn't work.

We may have been just unlucky. The room we got was conveniently located next to the gate leading to the beach, restaurants, etc. Even had a peekaboo view of the ocean. However, it was super noisy. Besides the ongoing road noise, there were teenagers riding by blasting music, and a homeless guy who created such a ruckus (I kinda think he wanted to be arrested). We tried changing rooms, but nothing else was available. It should be noted that this is not operated like a hotel. Rarely is anyone managing the front desk.Our TV didn’t work. I had to call someone in Maui to send maintenance. It was fixed. Parking is also a problem. There aren’t enough stalls for the # of units.

Excellent location, and a few favorable attributes, but some issues too: poor lighting, two broken interior doors, hot tub out of order, and some unwelcome noise.

It was obvious that no one had stayed in our room for a long time. Thick dust on every surface and I had to clean. Even the lights by the bed were dusty. I also had to sweep the balcony.

This little one bed condo suite was perfect us. With a mini kitchenette, mini fridge, coffee maker. Parking was always full, however we were able find a space to park. Walking distance to shopping and dining. Love walking up and down Ali Drive. Perfect sunsets can be seen at any restaurant on Ali Drive. We did not drive much. Grocery stores are under 10 minute drive. We love staying at Kona Islander Inn for its convenience to food and shops.

Loved it! very convenient for our group of friends. We did not realize it was not a “hotel” nonetheless our host communicated with us via text which made it more personable. Hoping to get the same two units next year TY :)
