From when we booked the reservation through the days before check-in and right before check-out, Jill and Terry were in constant contact with us, proving all the information we needed to make our stay as great as possible. The condo is exactly as was described. It is on the 4th floor in the Konea tower of the Honua Kai resort. It is very spacious with a full kitchen, large living area with a pull-out sofa bed, large balcony with seating for 6, a queen bedroom, huge bathroom, and a queen bed in the den. We booked this particular condo due to the separate 2nd bedroom (den) so that we could close off our kids when they go to bed early. There is a washer and dryer, which we didn't use as we were only there for 6 days. There is also a closet with a ton of beach stuff (full sized cooler, lots of boogie boards, 2 snorkeling masks, inflatables for the pool, football, basketball, and other toys. The full sized french door freezer/fridge worked great for our stay and already had several condiments from prior guests (salad dressing, mustard, ketsup, jelly). The ice maker works fine for making drinks but as with any newer appliance, doesn't make enough to fill a cooler. Not listed in the description was that a regular 12-cup Mr. Coffee maker is there and uses standard filters (not the cone type). We lucked out and brought the correct filters with us and left extras behind. The condo is stocked with all the plates, bowls, silverware, glassware, etc. that you should ever need. We never used the stove/oven, but there were baking supplies too.
The condo was very clean and in excellent condition. The whole tower looked like it had been renovated within the past few years and was in excellent condition. Was really nice to have underground covered parking and easy in/out. The pools at the Honua Kai are AMAZING for families! There is an adult pool, lazy river pool, huge kid pool with an awesome waterslide and waterfalls, and an infinity pool. We bounced around between all but the adult pool since we had our young kids with us. The slide is amazing and not just a simple short slide I've seen at other resorts. Our kids literally spent all day going down the slide over and over and over. Their are also too many hot tubs to count. There are several near or part of each of the pools, which was awesome for parents. We could sit in the hot tub and night and watch our kids swim in the pool. Overall, an amazing experience that will not disappoint!
