Pros: You can’t beat this location! This property is close to several of Kona’s popular attractions, which allowed us to walk to most of our destinations. Restaurants, beaches, shopping, farmers markets, several attractions, and entertainment are all nearby. The staff at the inn were very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Our host responded to messages quickly and we were provided with our check in information prior to arrival, which was nice and allowed our check in process to go quickly and smoothly. The apartment was well stocked with necessary supplies, as well as, coffee, sunscreen, bug spray, and several other extras! Beach chairs, towels, and body boards were also provided! There is also an on-site laundry facility and BBQ grills, which were very convenient.
Cons: The condo itself was very clean, but there does seem to be a bit of a pest issue. We encountered a few cockroaches in our condo throughout our stay, but it is a tropical environment and they appear to be common in Hawaii. There is also limited parking at the inn, which resulted in us having to park on the street down the road several times despite having a parking pass for the resort. All in all, these “cons” are minuscule in the grand scheme of things and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay on The Big Island.
