We enjoyed our stay at Elite Pacific. They have a comfortable, clean and modern unit, with a pleasant golf course view. We found a nice welcome basket, plenty of towels and a parking pass waiting for us. The unit is about 10-15 min walk down to the beach, and has many convenient shops and restaurants nearby in the Waikoloa Village. Reservations are highly encouraged for dining as waits can be long. In terms of location, the airport and downtown Kona are 30 min+ to the south, while nice beaches to the north are about 15+ min away. All-in-all, a great location. The only issue was the A/C went out with 1.5 days left in our stay and based on timing of notification, there was nothing that could be done to resolve. The management at Elite was considerate in issuing a credit and very communicative throughout. I would highly recommend this unit when visiting Kona. As a general note, Kona is expensive and warm, with great beaches and lots of dining options, while the HIlo-side is lush, often rainy, with great waterfalls, black sand beaches and the amazing Volcano Nat'l Park to visit.
