We didn't get off to the best start at our unit at the Royal Kahili on Ali'i Drive. The bathrooms were devoid of toilet paper, there was a lack of bar soap in the sinks, coffee and cereal in the pantry - a basic to be supplied under the rules and suggestions by Airbnb - and a few other items. So, thankfully there was a small shopping centre nearby where we went and bought the items we needed to take care of this. The unit itself had been noticeably closed for some time and was rather musty, but otherwise clean. Once the windows and sliding doors were open it quickly dissipated, but from the appearance of the interior and exterior it's quite obvious the Royal Kahili was built quite some time ago - and the foul, green water that the Koi swam in on the ground floor didn't help to enhance the image; in fact, one was dead and was removed shortly after we checked in. The swimming pool had a "scum of something" floating over its surface which kept us at bay, and even though we tried to see if it was leaf matter or something that was safe, it was impossible to tell. The bonus of the Royal Kahili, if you're a runner of walker, is that you'll be joined by many others on Ali'i Road into downtown Kailua-Kona. The road has adequate shoulders that are clear of motor cars and allow you plenty of space if that's your choice of fitness or seeing the sights. In our view, it's the management of the Royal Kahili that needs to take a more diligent view of the surrounds and their maintenance, as the owners, in this instance, reside in Seattle, WA, and it's a bit of a stretch to see what's right and wrong with the building before guests arrive.
