Lovely, convenient Kona condo
The Kona Coast Resort is a lovely Wyndham-managed vacation club timeshare property. It has several pools, tennis courts, hot tubs, etc. While the golf course is not part of the resort, the pool and pool bar look out over it to the ocean and you can watch spectacular sunsets from the pool, hot tub, or your condo lanai. We found it very convenient for exploring the entire west coast of the Big Island, and 5 minutes from one of the main snorkel boat locations. The rooms were clean and well-appointed and we found the kitchen properly equipped for a hotel vacation kitchen. Our only problem was our check in. Four of us rented the property, but the friends who took the lead on the rental were unable to travel due to a Covid infection at the last minute. Even though there were four names including ours as guests on the Airbnb rental application, the resort desk wouldn’t check us in as our name didn’t appear on their records. Both we and our friends tried to contact the host, and when finally reached, she said she couldn’t help us. Finally, the reservations manager took pity on us, called our friends, and with their assurances, allowed us to check in. But again the resort and the accommodations were great.
