Our family stayed at this kolea condo for a week. Robert was a very responsive and accommodating host.
The kitchen was well-stocked with cutlery and cookware. The gas grill was easy to use and the lanai was comfortable. Robert provided beach chairs, towels, and snorkel gear. The closets have a number of kids stuff (car seats and I believe a pack n play). The pool is very close (2 min walk). You can easily access “A bay” (Anaehoomalu beach) through the pool area or go through the Marriott.
A Bay is a great beach for swimming, SUP, snorkeling. Waves were very small (April) and visibility usually good except when windy. Rentals and boat launch right on the beach. We went to many of the “best beaches” on the Big island and felt A bay was easily up there. The easy access from the condo was unbeatable.
The pool is a gem and I feel undersold. There were plenty of lawn chairs and even the cabana seats were usually open. The water temp itself was perfect. There was also a large hot tub and kiddy sand bottom pool. No towel service for now but maybe restarting soon. Never felt too crowded even during peak hours.
Restaurants in waikoloa are generally so so and overpriced. The food at Island Gourmet (fancy ABC store) was decent value. Groceries there are expensive, so I’d stock up in Kailua.
Highly recommend Moa Kitchen (Japanese) in Waimea and Broke da Mouth Grindz in Kailua (best plate lunch).
Overall awesome location and value. Would love to stay again.
