Keauhou Bay Beach

When checking in, we opted to pay $60 to check in early. Only to find when we checked out the charged me $60 a day for early checking we stayed 8 days. We had a rental car and there were 2 nites there was no parking, we had to park at the King Kam hotel, and pay $40 ( they did reimburse us). But the second nite the front desk employee told us that we could have her parking(she was parked in the lot for hotel guest). This was soo unacceptable!

Property was right on the water....sunsets everynight!!! Excellant location and we walked to dinners and shopping. The condo was a little dated but we didn't care. It had EVERYTHING we needed and wanted. The check in was a suprise of nearly 3 hours earlier than listed, that was fantastic! They supplied beach chairs, umbrellas,coolers and pool toys. The front desk staff was more than helpful and happy. I 100% will book this property again.

We’ve been staying at Kona Islander since 2008 and have stayed in several different units over the years. We keep coming back because we love the location and atmosphere, and the staff during this visit were absolutely wonderful, friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We had a great stay overall. Our main disappointment with this particular unit was that it did not have a hot plate or small stovetop. One of the reasons we choose Kona Islander instead of a traditional hotel is the ability to prepare meals during longer stays. We stayed for 10 days and went to Costco planning to make many of our breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in the room, but with only a microwave, we couldn’t do that as planned. This unit also had only a small refrigerator, while other units we’ve stayed in at the property had a full-size refrigerator and freezer. That was less important to us, but worth mentioning. We would absolutely stay at Kona Islander again. We just hope the owner considers adding a hot plate or small stovetop to this unit. That one addition would have made an otherwise wonderful stay even better.
