Castle Kona Bali Kai

Everyone there was very kind. It had its own little beach. Close to the Poke' Shack ! walking to the Banyon Store. Ocean view was amazing and watching the sea turtles!

The room we were put in was right on the highway and had single pane windows. So loud! No blackout curtains, basically on the whole it was a VERY funky place. We like a little less than perfect and can handle some funkiness, but this place was truly rough. We cancelled our stay after the first night and are having trouble getting the hotel to communicate with Expedia in order to get the matter settled. Buyer beware, this place is not for the faint of heart, it is a roadside motel with good advertising that makes it look better than it is.

right on the ocean. close to everything.quit area.

I loved the location. I had an ocean view room and it was awesome

Stayed in room 315. LOVED it! Except the floors made were very dirty though looked clean. After about 30 to 60 seconds of walking on them bottoms of feet very dirty. But like I said LOVED the room itself. Anything that would have been nice to have was an air conditioner. Would stay again.

I have stayed at KBK several times. It is a nicely kept property. It is not a plush resort and is well suited for families. It is however like slipping on an old comfortable slipper, clean and neat but nicely worn. Sort of like everywhere in Kona.. Unit 310 was in good working order and the lanai furniture was especially nice. All the ceiling fans worked really well. Pool area was nicely kept and the oceanfront grills were in beautiful working condition. 24 hour security patrol is a nice thing and the folks can usually answer questions about the area and nearby shopping and such. Friends of Bill will enjoy the every weekday 7am gatherings on the lawn of the church next door.

Very dated place. Needs upgrading

This was pur 4th trip to the property. Pleased with our room and the cleanliness was good. Helpful stafg

Location was great and we had a lanai with a view of Alii Drive and locals surfing in the ocean. It was close to shopping and cultural sights. Security and staff were great, and check in was convenient. Unfortunately the building we were in had rot in structural beams and the shuttered windows had peeling paint. Carpet was old and worn, and bathroom door handles were a rigged repair from bare wood blocks. We were in 332, a privately owned condo. I doubt the owner would ever stay there. The bed was good but furnishings were very basic. Toilet ran continuously and garbage disposal smelled like mold. We realize that Hawaii is damp, but it’s long past time that this unit was updated. We purchased this as a bundle with room and airfare. Next time I will choose separately so I can take a better look at reviews on the room in advance of booking.

They charge an extra 160 dollars cleaning fee which is not included in the expedia cost. Please bare in mind. Apart from that , the apartment was good with a ocean view.
