Kohala Estates Vacations from ￥267,152

I wish I could give a 4.5! Pros: The ocean front view is unbeatable! Room is spacious Has everything- kitchen, washer and dryer Taking off 0.5 for: Charge of $15 per day if you are using AC. The AC is only in one room. So the rooms can get pretty hot. LOTs of ants in kitchen. Some in the bathroom. We didn’t lay food out there and tried to keep the kitchen area clean.

Overall, our accommodation was quite good! The room facilities were a bit outdated, and the bathroom sink was a little small for a family of three. Room B23 had a great view, overlooking the ocean, trees, and beach. The kitchen stove was convenient for preparing simple meals. The washing machine and dryer came with laundry detergent, which was very convenient for doing laundry – a real necessity in Hawaii! The beds were comfortable, and the sofa bed was also quite comfortable. The downsides: the housekeeper only cleaned the room once, and for the rest of the time, we had to request towels and other necessities from the office. There were some small cockroaches in the room, but I think this is unavoidable due to the climate of Hawaii.

Great place. A bit isolated though

While the pool area and the overall facilities and surrounding were satisfactory, we encountered significant issues with the dining service and housekeeping during our three-day stay. Specifically, the wait times for ordered food were excessively long, often exceeding an hour, unless we opted for the buffet option. Furthermore, the room and bed preparation was only done at check-in, and we had to make repeated calls for basic services such as fresh towels, trash removal, and other essential amenities. Unfortunately, most of our attempts to reach room service via phone resulted in going directly to voicemail, which added to the overall inconvenience of our stay.
