We had a great time at Dana's condo unit. It was a good value for the money.
Pros: Very bright and airy unit with 3 flat screen cable tvs, 2 nice lanais, underground parking, 2 oceanfront swimming pools with barbeque area, plenty of seating and a jacuzzi. The grounds are nicely landscaped and having a concierge on the property was a plus. The unit has a washer/dryer and a safe. There are also 2 nicely laid out bedrooms each with large ensuite bathroom areas.
Cons: Microwave not working, refrigerator leaking, cracked countertop,air conditioning for the square footage is not adequate. We had the A/C set for 70 but each morning the temperature was always up to about 75-77. We were told by management that there is one system for the entire condo complex so how cool the unit gets depends on how many people are using the system. We had the ceiling fans going nonstop to help keep the place cool. The living room furniture and carpeting were stained and in need of replacement or a professional cleaning. The master bedroom is extremely nice and spacious but the second smaller bedroom has no furniture to store ones clothes. The other couple were basically living out of their suitcases except for hanging items. The beach items consisted of 2 broken boogie boards, a broken beach umbrella and a cooler with broken handles.
All in all we enjoyed ourselves at this location. The big island is a great place to visit with many things to do. I would definitely stay at a house or condo over a hotel room in Hawaii.
