Kona Islander Inn - Prime Downtown Location with Hot Tub, Pool & Beach

My stay at Kona Islander Inn has been nice, and it's ongoing .. I had to switch condo units yesterday because the first one was prebooked. The community is in a perfect location to most activities in Kona, and the shops are close by for groceries. There's a nice pool area, a welcoming lounge, and laundry facilities. Paradise everyday!

This place was very dirty! When I tried to reach the owner he was unresponsive. The bed was very uncomfortable. They offer a coffee maker but no coffee, coffee filters or any coffee fixings. We were very disappointed in this place.They advertise housekeeping but there was none. The room smelt aweful! The counter was filthy when we arrived and there was no cleaning products except for dishsoap. The clothes closet was occupied by dusty vacuum cleaner. It was so dirty that there was no way I was putting my clothes in there. All the ceiling fans were covered in a thick layer of dust. They hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Extremely disappointed!

We had a great time. The property is in a great location and walkable to shopping and restaurants in Kona.

Location, bed and tv, the decor is nice, hosts responsive, had beach chairs, outside balcony with tropical plants was nice.

There wasn’t parking at night or on nearby streets when we got back, so we had to go far at night, park the car on a random street and walk back. They did send us a message on arrival about it, because it’s happened to others but we still needed to use the car, so couldn’t avoid the situation. The place is old, the spa had too much chemical it stung our eyes and bleached my swimmers and didn’t fully function. The people upstairs were super loud early one morning. Futon wasn’t comfortable to sit on, wobbly outside chair, just little things that add up. Overall it was fine, just wasn’t as nice as we expected for the price.

Clean, nice landscaping. Great location if you want to walk the shops and restaurants of Kona. 15-20 minute drive to the marina for most ocean excursions.

Ground floor, could hear people upstairs walking around. Only two small rolls of toilet paper, no salt or pepper in the kitchen, no sponge to wash plates, Maxwell House coffee - just could have had more welcoming and helpful items in the kitchen.

Great location for shopping and dining in Kailua-Kona tourist area

Not having guaranteed parking - spots are limited so you can end up having to pay for parking somewhere else if you leave the property.

While the condo was in an ideal location in Kona, the amenities at the property were less than what I expected. The shower and bathroom sink were filthy. There were several hairs in the shower the day we arrived and what looked like toothpaste in the bathroom sink. The bathroom mirror was also dirty, with water spots all over it. The condo needs a good overall cleaning, as there was dust and dirt all over the walls, fans, decorations, etc. It is also a little outdated. The TV should be updated as well so you don't have to use three different remotes to be able to watch TV. The Murphy bed was not too comfortable, and the pillows were so thin. Overall, it was fine but I don't think I would stay here again.

The place needs to be cleaned it was not clean.

The parking is very limited. You f you don’t plan to rent a car this place is ok. It is within walking distance to eating facilities, souvenir shopping and the beach via the park. For coffee addicts, there is an old fashioned coffee maker that you would need to buy filters and ground coffee which is inconvenient if you’re just staying for a few days. Great TV with cable.

Great location but this unit was ok. If you’re sensitive to loud noises ( street traffic and a very loud AC unit) or odors (hard to describe but there are lots of air fresheners in the room and one is also noisy) you may struggle with this unit.
