Kona Coast Resort

Kona Coast Resort

8/10 Good

"The keys we were given to our room didn't work, and our door lock was spotty. Rather than resolve this by running new keys to us, we had to return and obtain them. We then also needed maintenance to come work on our lock. The other staff issue was Deb who rolled her eyes when I decided not to participate in the time share meeting. I had other island plans and her huffing and rolling her eyes at me didn't craft a welcome entrance after flying all day. Thanks Deb. The kitchen had everything we needed. They ran out extra laundry and dishwasher soap no problem. I liked being about to text the office to ask for incidentals. I would stay here again, it would be nice to have some updates to things, but everything here is serviceable. Would it be nice to not find the carpet tack strip between the rooms with my foot, yes. It's it a deal breaker? No. I enjoy the the cats, the ease of parking, the location to Kona and Captain Cook. I like the proximity to the grocery store up the street."

"Our room was lovely, very spacious for a 1 bedroom apartment. The grounds were lovely and well maintained. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
