This was our first trip to Hawaii so we definitely wanted an ocean view. Wow! The Kona Bali Kai gave us a front row view of crashing waves, surfers every day and gorgeous sunsets. With super comfy furniture on the huge lanai we were out there constantly. We never shut the huge sliding doors and enjoyed pleasant temps and soothing waves the whole week. Located close to everything in Kona it was a great place to stay. The management team was great with communication so we we’re always clear about details; check in/out, rules etc. wife says: RAVE! LOVED this place. Bonus, too, was the washer/dryer, especially nice when you’re here 9 days as we were. Would def stay again.
