The stay was good enough. The best thing about the Kanaloa is the ocean side pool. The hot tub is luke warm butt the view is great. The exterior grounds are well taken care of and clean. Its a very safe location. It had too access to a shopping center and some restaurants. The nearest beaches are a few minutes drive. Magic sands is a smaller one. Otherwise if you want to go to a nice sandy beach to layout and swim at you'll have to drive an hour to get to. If you are an adventure seeker Captain cooks is a close 20min drive for snorkeling and kayaking. The staff is very nice and they are very strict rules which keep it clean and the parking under control.
You do have to be prepared to pay an extra 30% in taxes on site and an extra $25/day for air conditioning.
The overall Kanaloa was nice. However our stay we had issues as who ever listed this unit on Airbnb didn't do so truthfully.
The pictures do not reflect the actual unit you will be staying in.
I booked my unit in July and traveled In Jan. The whole time we were looking forward to staying in this nice updated condo on the ocean with three queens and each room having flat screens. We get there and it is on the golf course, hasn't been updated since the 90s, only the master room had a 15inch tv from the 90s that the cable didn't work, there were no cleaning supplies so we went to the grocery store to buy our own. The spa tub had a constant leak, there were only 4 towels for a 6 person condo, and the loft was supposed to have a queen but we got two singles. To add insult to injury I spoke with another guest who had booked their place only a couple of days before they traveled and arrived the same day and got an oceanview condo for the same price. It was very disappointing, yes we were in Hawaii but if we didn't care about the cosmetics we would have booked some place cheaper.
Buyer beware.
