Just an excellent place to stay! Photos are representative of the property - the view as you walk in is just stunning! The area on Alii Drive is a good location - we walked to Magic Sands for lunch, but otherwise is a little far to walk to town. I brought my bike along and it's a great, fast ride. The elevator is keyed in so safety was good, very secure building. Also convenient to Keahou shopping center, if you're headed south. Abby worked to get me a little earlier check-in, and she left an orchid lei for me, as this was a memorial trip for my brother. My first morning the toilet plugged up, but the staff was very responsive, had it repaired that afternoon (impossible to get repairs done on this island in a timely manner, so this was super fast). Kitchen was a little cramped for 3 of us working in there, but well equipped. It's vacation, no need to cook other meals. Big fridge, good for leftovers. We ate breakfast on the lanai every morning, enjoying the view and watching the surfers. Banyans Beach is next door, but it's a surf spot, not okay for swimmers. Kona was overcast most afternoons, so the condo was not unbearable, quite comfortable. July is not the hottest month, but we didn't need AC, fans were adequate. Nice pool, we didn't use the spa. If I had to think of something to complain about, the surf pounding on the rocks below kept me awake until I got used to it, and it was a full moon so it was BRIGHT as it sank into the ocean. Sure I could get up & close the door and drapes, but what's the point of that?! I live in Hilo on the east side, I would definitely stay here again. LOVED it!
