The location is wonderful and a very nice resort, well kept up and maintaining that Hawaii ambience and culture. Condo was very comfortable, especially bed and well stocked kitchen for enjoying meals on the balcony/lanai. My only complaint was that I was not informed of the extra cost of air-conditioning (ie not included). Personally I don't like air-conditioning and it really is unnecessary down by the ocean with ocean breezes. I tried contact management but they were unresponsive on this point. I did not use the air-conditioning yet paid quite a bit of extra money which as I said was not noted in the advertisement. Check out all the extra costs before booking.
The actual grounds are very well maintained. The pool was one of the best we experienced in Kona. The condo is nice and roomy but dated. It is of wood construction, so can be noisy if they are guests on the floor above your unit. The bed was very uncomfortable and needs to be replaced.
We liked the location, still in Kona but not in the real touristy part. Pool and hot tub right near room. The ocean view was a nice perk. I wouldn't say you could really access the ocean from the complex but there is a short walk to a nice cove. And great snorkeling and surfing beaches in a short drive. Hosts were very responsive and friendly. We would stay again. AC was nice too on evenings lacking wind.
We love the location of this condo. The owner was responsive to our questions right away. We were surprised with a lovely fruit basket waiting for us upon our arrival. We would definitely rent this condo again.
Stayed here for 5 nights while we explored the Kona coast of the big island. Loved the resort and all its amenities. This unit had gorgeous sunset oceanfront views, which was our favorite part of this unit. The unit had everything we needed, although could really use a face lift. The property owner was quick to respond to any messages, and was accessible by text or phone. The property and neighborhood were very safe, gated with security on site 24/7. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for being a great host while we explored the Kona area!
Issues:
Carpet is outdoor style - understandable for a beach area - but itâs dusty/dirty
Carpet on the stairs is loose and a real trip & fall hazard
Holes in screens
Second lanai screen is off its track & not useable
Missing vertical blinds slats
Backed up disposal drain
Running toilets
W/D broken
Missing lightbulbs
Bath fans are loud & dirty.
One shower faucet is like being under a fire hose.
Comfy LR furniture
Plenty of clean linens
Bed is pretty comfy
Fans are good
TVs are small & a bit confusing to get going but cable & streaming selections are decent.
Useable kitchen, pretty well stocked except for storage containers - there a none.
Great view but right by the pool if that sort of noise bothers you.
This condo is just old. Outdated, as some others have stated, is a HUGE understatement. Itâs worn out & has multiple issues.
Very nice condo! In a great location!!! Awesome ocean views and waves pounding against the rocks! 3 swimming pools and tennis court! Covered parking which is right outside of condo. Highly recommend!
beautiful location-but old condo, no updating , dirty dishes, leaky refrigerator, broken sink, broken blinds, very poorly equipped, would not recommend this condo
Fantastic place and location, didnât hurt that the weather was perfect all week. Just like the rest of the reviews it is a little dated and needs some minor updating and fixing. Overall pleasant and comfortable.
Overall, we were super pleased with our stay in Condo 2503 at Kanaloa at Kona. The property's location is great; close to Kona, but away from the hustle and bustle of Alii Drive, even though one is minutes away from that road. The grounds themselves are really well kept, and with the possibility of three pools, hot tubs, and tennis courts, there was much to do in the evenings once it got dark. We spent many pleasant nights on the lanai, looking out over the ocean and listening to the surf crashing onto the rocks. The unit itself is spacious and came with everything that we needed, including a lovely welcome gift basket that included locally sourced organic products!
Great location in a condo complex. quiet, ocean front with beautiful pool. Balcony facing ocean. Convenient full-service shopping area close by, we ate several meals at the Tropics bar there. They featured fresh fish, delicious local ingredients. Large one br, 2 bath condo. Well-equipped kitchen.
