Mahukona Vacations from ￥107,614

The location was good and the grounds were lovely. Our condo was comfortable but the decor was dated. The interior did not look at all like the photos on the website. The washing machine was so loud it sounded like a jet engine during the spin cycle. The dishwasher was not attached to anything and tipped forward when the racks were pulled out during loading and unloading. There was a high pressure campaign to get us to sit through a sales pitch to purchase a time share which we did not anticipate or appreciate.

Kona Islander Inn is a great low cost option for staying in Kona. Its location on Alii Drive makes everything walkable.

Property itself was beautiful, however the unit was out dated, cabinet doors felt like they were about to fall off. Unit had a musty smell, floors creaked and patio floors felt slimy. I would have liked a better up to date unit.

Really loved the location and especially the pool that overlooked the ocean. It was nice that it was never busy with loud kids/people and was pretty mellow. The room we stayed in, however, was a bit run down and kind of smelled like it was cleaned with a dirty sponge and the floor looked like it was never washed, based on my socks turning black after walking around on it. Also wasn’t a fan of the centipede’s crawling on my bed and floor. I wouldn’t recommend staying on the ground level. On the positive, all of the staff was amazing and attentive. Great customer service and welcoming. (Even after my complaints 😬) I’d consider staying here again in the future.

This is the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Understated and tasteful elegance. Fantastic rooms with amazing balconies, world class beach, impeccable service, excellent grounds, fine dining at Manta, but also a beachfront casual bar/restaurant, and Copper Bar in between and our favorite. They have an Asian Art Collection worthy of a museum. This was out of our usual price range, a big splurge, and worth every penny. We are already trying to figure out how to swing it to go back next winter.
