We found this condo so comfortable and perfect for our needs; it was exactly as we expected based on the description. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked with pans etc. for us to cook some of our meals, and the space was just generally really pleasant and homey. This tea-drinker appreciated there was an electric kettle along with the coffee machine :)
The A/C in the living room and bedroom weren't necessary often but we were grateful they were there when we wanted them. Loved the king size bed! And we were surprised by how nice and quiet the complex was at night, with the exception of a little street noise on occasion. We loved the sound of birdsong coming in every morning. Although the unit looks out over a parking lot, all we really saw from inside were the pretty flowering trees around the pool and we enjoyed the covered balcony area.
The location was absolutely fantastic and we found ourselves walking to a lot of things rather than driving, such as restaurants in the surrounding neighborhood and on Ali'i drive. We were able to walk to the luau and the dinner cruise we booked, as well. For our longer excursions to Hilo, Volcanoes National Park, and Waikoloa, this was also a great "home base" from which to explore other parts of the island.
Big shout-out to our Guest Contact, Monika, whom we reached out to on 2 occasions, once when we inquired about early check-in and then on our last night when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the unit. Monika was so quick to respond and so kind, she really helped make our stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible! Thank you Monika!
