Guest Reviews

• Kristi (10/5): We still enjoyed being in Hawaii. - Well maintained, great pool, lovely view Our unit was being repaired on The exterior. It was incredibly loud and dusty. Our view was obscured with scaffolding and tarps. It should not have been rented.
• burck (8/5): Great place to stay. I would definitaly stay there again. - The manager and all of the staff were friendly and professional. Our room was very nice. The building itself is need of repairs. It located within walking distance to stores and resteraunts. I do not think Hotel guest should pay for parking. We did not need a car and have family on the Island so it was convenient. All and all a great manager and staff! Limited parking and you had to pay for it.
• Patrizia (6/5): Bon séjour dans l’ensemble - Apparemment bien équipé Pas une bonne vue sur l’océan et le parking n’était pas pratique du tout
• Chao (5/5): - Location is great, 20 mins walk to Kailua-Kona downtown, and 1 min walk to the beach. Check-in time is not aligned with the information shown on booking.com. On the website, it said the check-in time is 16:00-17:00, but when I arrived at the property at 16:20, the office was closed.
• Ed (9/5): 다시 방문하고 싶습니다 - 바다가 바로 앞에 있어 좋았습니다.
• Lotte (6/5): - Fint køkken. Fem minutters gang til byen med restauranter. God aircondition som ikke larmede. Slidt lejlighed. Der var en kakerlak på badeværelset da vi kom, de var dog søde at komme og spraye for dem da vi nævnte det i receptionen. Der var til tider en høj lyd, både om dagen og om natten som måske kom fra varmtvandsbeholderen. Der var lydt og man kunne høre når folk gik forbi udenfor, som at sove med åbent vindue.
• Gustavo (7/5): -
• Mary (1/5): Slept well. - n/n The elevator to our part of the building was not working so as we walked 4 floors down from the street level and not it was repaired while we were there, we walked it and as we are 82 yrs old this was a painful thing for us to do. I asked one of the cleaning ladies how long it had been out and was told "no English".
• Sandra (4/5): Disappointing - We liked the location - it was right on the water and an easy walk to the restaurants/bars. Dirty....did I mention DIRTY? Oh, and it was D-I-R-T-Y!
• Charulatha (7/5): It was a great location, beach was just a few yards away, beautiful sunsets everyday. -
• Michael (10/5): Would stay there again without question - Location was wonderful, Beautiful view of the ocean. Close to downtown restaurants/stores. Easy to find the condo. Only thing was I couldn't get the TV in the living area to work but the TV in the bedroom was just fine.
• Michael (8/5): Good value. Property was great and location perfect, however, cleanliness was lacking. - The space and amenities were great and the location was perfect. You can tell from walking in that the room had not been cleaned. Floors looked like they were never mopped. We bring slippers to wear indoors when we vacation and the bottom of our slippers turned black and even after washing them, they would turn black again. These slippers were only worn inside the room. The kitchen counters were not clean, neither was the sink. We wiped everything down and encountered smudges and crumbs. Bathroom was not clean. Toilet looked like no one had taken a brush to it, tub was not clean, and curtains had not been cleaned or replaced. Thankfully we bring our own disinfectant wipes and spray for situations like this.
• Robert (10/5): 3 Days of joy. - I enjoyed sitting out on the balcony drinking coffee waiting for the sun to come up. The suite was very cozy. I only watched the television once the entire time. It's close to plenty of shopping and restaurants. The time I had there was too short.
• Leo (7/5): Good - Location is great, only a short stroll to the village It feels quite old and needs a refresh
• Joyce (7/5): Great value for money. - Good location. Fully equipped with washer and dryer. Full kitchen with dishwasher, tablets and dishwashing liquid! Floors felt a little grainy and sticky- and the frying pan was a little greasy.
• Stephen (8/5): A few niggles like dirty floor on arrival and A/C leaking on floor but it was all rectified pretty quickly. Great po - Close proximity to town, very competent and friendly staff. Our view of ocean was limited to a slice of the water, sunset viewing had to be from downstairs by the pool as opposed to from the lanai
• Samuel (7/5): Good stay but rather expensive for the poor service - Good location and clean There is no assistance after office hours. No return calls.
• Catherine (8/5): Very good -
• Arpi (9/5): Superb -
• Kyrylo (9/5): Superb -
• Arthitta (8/5): Very good -
• Regina (4/5): Staff inattentive - Location was nice Place and cleanliness was good, view from patio was great. Water pressure in shower was next to none. We contacted office by text and left a message to report that the safe in the closet kept ticking. Nobody reponded. We finally got back to condo during business hours and went to office to report. I let office person know issue and told him we have had 3 sleepless nights. His only response was I will send a maintenance person up, which he did. I have again texted for someone to call me back to discuss, but I have not heard from anyone . I would like some to call me @ 626-825-1440. I rent a place to sleep and that was not available at Kona Reef. Please call!I feel that we should receive some type of refund for something that should have been inspected before rented out. Thank you !
• Cynthia (10/5): Really nice place with a view and nice pool - At at the condo breakfast I made Needed to be updated a little. Did see a few small roaches
• Timothy (9/5): Good alternative to the hotel resort we stayed at. - No breakfast. The condo was a little dated.
• Victoria (8/5): Comfortable - Nice view. Comfortable room. Generally clean. Close to many things. Good parking. Everything needed in kitchen. We were in B 35 and that was good room. Sofa bed was pretty comfortable. AC was good. Two things. There was some construction noise and we should have been notified of that. The floor did not feel clean. Could not get office person to answer phone.
• Denise (8/5): Very good - The location is perfect! Only 1 mile walk into town. Very convenient to restaurants and stores.
• Marcia (8/5): Great location - Great location Outdated
• Eric (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jacqualine (9/5): Great location right on the ocean. - Great location. All beach gear was available to use free of charge. Excellent view of the ocean. Huge apartment with a full size fridge/ freezer. Quiet at night. Would return and highly recommend. Nothing we didn't like.
• Lisa (8/5): Great location easy walk to bars and restaurants great sunsets and ocean views - Nice pool & spa pool A little dated but very tidy
• Alisha (8/5): Loved this hotel. Great location. Clean. Just book it!!! - Location was amazing. View from patio was top notch. Pool was amazing. Loved the books in the pool area to take and read. A lot of couples having dinner outside by the pool. Just a cool vibe. Parking was great. Beds were comfy. Was clean. Front desk gal was very nice and helpful. Walkable to restaurants and shopping just down the road. A truly amazing place. Would recommend. Will be back. Hot tub was empty for a few days of our stay.
• Peter (10/5): Fantastic! - Location was only a five minute walk from Kailua-Kona centre = great for going out without having to drive! The short length of our stay = it'll be longer next time!
• Anita (10/5): Had a wonderful stay. Will return again. - Wonderful ocean front property. Full kitchen. One bedroom w/ Air Conditioner. Within a short walking distance to restaurants and shopping. No Restaurant on property but that normally common with condominium properties. Elevator does not go all the way down to the ground floor. There are a few stairs down after the 1st floor. Luckily we only had one bag each.
• Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joyseej (10/5): Fantastic - The rooms were perfect size . Great view Very clean And has dishwasher ac Launders full kitchen . Fantastic location . The best location . The Frontdesk lady was very helpful Liked all
• Angela (9/5): Superb -
• David (9/5): Beautiful apartment with water views - Very large apartment (F4) with great ocean and pool views. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and appliances. The apartment had comfortable and attractive furnishings. Close to bus services, a small beach and easy walk to shops and restaurants. A very pleasant place to stay. Great balcony for watching the sirfers. Communication was a mess. N one at reception when we arrived and when e rang contact number we were given they said they had nothing to do with the property. Rang the emergency number on the office door and got a helpful person that gave us our code. Could never work out how the TV worked, but that could just be us.
• Marina (10/5): Stunning location - Large self contained apartment, with balcony, right on the beach. Close to shops and restaurants. Free parking and great pool area with BBQ's.
• Edith (10/5): Exceptional - Love it. Perfect location, everything was walking distance
• Ruth (10/5): Exceptional - The location was fabulous, and the staff was very nice. Office hours were a bit erratic
• William (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (8/5): Great location, clean and spectacular view - Great location. We had a one bedroom with a pullout couch bed. Since we were 3 adults it was a bit cramped. That said, we had a 1st floor walk out condo with ocean view. It was fantastic for sunsets! Nothing comes to mind. We felt safe and loved being able to walk to town.
• Anett (9/5): Superb - Location, size of apartment and the breakfasts and dinners on the terrace, few steps from the ocean. Sarah was very responsive. No towel exchange despite request.
• Michael (5/5): Great location just needs better maintenance. - Location and pool and BBQ area, lawn area by ocean. Staff promptly responded to reported problems. Very bad mold and mildew odor from the AC units permeated the unit. Staff responded and quickly cleaned them but it took 2 to 3 days for the odor to dispute. Floors were dirty - left black marks on anything that fell on them - could not go barefoot. Kitchen was sparsely supplied - not even salt and pepper.
• Jennifer (8/5): Very good -
• Laureen (8/5): Very good - We chose it because of its proximity to the oocean. We had diffidculty changing dates because of a flight change. Booking.com was not helpful, but we were very impressed with the gracious support of all of the LATour Group staff. There were a few issues with technology,which was at a very baxic level.
• Heidi (9/5): Beautiful and relaxing place to spend your holiday! - The location was great. The room was clean and well equipped. The pool area was wonderful. Termites in the room made it difficult to use the stove top as the ‘mess’ was constantly dropping onto the cooking surface.
• Margaret (7/5): Glad we only had 3 days there. - Being right on ocean Termites leaving cabinet dust on counter. Uncomfortable, worn out bed. Sliding screen door broken.
• Joe (8/5): Great Value - Ocean front within walking distance of restaurants and shopping in Kona. - Our specific room had a fantastic location - ground floor, ocean front. Waves crashing a hundred feet from our door! Doesn't get any better. Room was aging a tad. Furnitiure was starting to be a bit worn, but still acceptable. Room was clean.
• Deb (7/5): Great location, value for money but a bit tired. - Great location with easy walk to shops and restaurants. Good views and staff were helpful. The appartments are old and there was work being done while we were there. The late check in was a major inconvenience with no access till after 4:00pm.
• Jeffrey (10/5): Location and staff made Kona Reef a great place to stay for activities on the Kona coast. - Location to Kona. View of the ocean. Tv had some issues.
• David (9/5): Wish we booked it for a Year. - Location N/A
• Braunagel (8/5): Overall a good stay, primarily due to location and views. - The property is showing some age, but the location and views are top notch. This is our 2nd time staying here and would stay again primarily for those reasons. The resort has typically been a good value as well. The showing of age of the resort. Some areas and rooms need a remodel. Also the way the elevator is setup is strange, you use it to get between floors, but still have to go up or down stairs to access a floor of rooms.
• Jane (8/5): Great - Pool and view were lovely always a lounger. no saving. Condo was nice . new tap in kitchen . handrail in bath tube (i am 77). also needs new none slip in bath tube.
• Tanya (7/5): Decent stay. Good value for location - The location was great. We could just walk to downtown. Price was doable. They had a nice pool that felt like a little community because of all of the people that live there. Very friendly and they blew Conch shells at sunset. Right by a little beach and some good tidepools. Bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a kitchen. Our room was facing away from the ocean so not much light. Everything was very dated. Tvs didnt want to come on very often and the elecrical outlet in the bathroom had a corroded wire so it blew up my hair dryer. The maintenance guy came with in a couple hours and fixed it but the damage was already done. I was not offered any fix for ruining my hair dryer which was surprising.
• Jerry (6/5): Nice view nice location. Staff nice - Location Needs repair and updates
• Lena (8/5): Very good - Location Fix toilet Wish we had a view the other direction
• Carol (10/5): A lovely apartment - The apartment is in a great location, by the sea and close to the centre of Kona. I loved sitting on the balcony of an evening and hearing the sea. The kitchen was also very well equipped.
• Dana (10/5): This IS the Perfect place to stay in Kona-Kailua - The location was perfect. Right in Kona, beautiful beach next door, walking distance to shops, night clubs and restaurants. Awesome pool area. The room view of the ocean was lovely. The full kitchen saved money being able to cook instead of eating out. The parking was free and plentiful. Air conditioning worked wonderfully. Loved this property No free movies like HBO or Showtime on the cable system
• Senarighi (9/5): This was a beautiful condo for two people with a perfect location - It was the perfect size for two people Nothing
• Heather (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stuart (8/5): Very good -
• Duane (10/5): We had one of the best rooms and everything that we could have wanted on our vacation, we have already booked for next y - We had a wonderful 1 bedroom apartment with the best view of the ocean that a couple could ask for. We were very happy and have already booked a time period for next year. We can not think of anything we did not like. The only problem we had was that the first door code we received did not work, but this was quickly fixed once we told them we could not get in our room.
• Trudine (9/5): Great stay , will return someday - Ease of access to condo from parking lot , Proximity to Pacific Ocean, supplies in kitchen , like strainer, small plastic containers , extra shelves in Kichen area for putting personal items , Difficulty with selecting television channels with Roku streaming
• Robert (9/5): Absolutely beautiful week - Beautiful property. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. My wife is pregnant and this property made doing things very easy. We’ll be back.
• Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ock (10/5): Exceptional -
• Valeria (9/5): Lovely stay by the beach - We had B7 by the beach . It was perfect in every single ways . Sleeping with the sound of the waves. My son surfs so Honls is perfect. We booked it through a private agency in the end, not via booking Nothing. Just that Honls isn’t great for swimming
• Robert (9/5): We had a great time overall. Very convenient location for exploring the island. - The condo was very well equipped and clean. My wife and I do not like ground floor condos but this one had a beautiful view. The condo had everything we needed. The parking garage is great and convenient. The pool area is very nice. We did not use the BBQ facilities but they looked very nice. The air conditioning was needed and worked very well for sleeping and general comfort. The patio needs more comfortable furniture and an umbrella on the table for some shade. The patio is quite small and you get blown by warm air from the air conditioning unit unless you move to the far end. The condo was very clean but had a strong smell of whatever cleaning agents are used on a regular basis.
• Maritza (10/5): Was a wonderful and comfortable stay. - The location was great close to downtown, the patio was great we enjoyed very much the view of the ocean. It’s a great place to stay, confortable and clean. Nothing
• Liz (8/5): Comfortable apartment, but not in reach of a decent beach. - The White Sands beach was 3 miles away and NOT 70 metres as advertised on the booking site! We did not have a car and chose this accommodation because of supposed proximity to beach. So that was very disappointing. Staff were very unhelpful when we pointed out the discrepancy, and said it was Booking.coms error, even when I pointed the information about location and facilities must have come from them!! The very small beach near the apartment had a rough sleepers camp set up at one end. Not a pleasant place to be.
• Mike (7/5): We would return in the future, but hope to rent a less rundown and wornout unit. - Nice view of the ocean and park. Convenient walking distance to downtown shops and dining. Nicely lit grounds at night. Clean and well-kept bbq area. Mellow vibe. Room was clean, but rundown. On a scale of 1-10 we would only give it a 5 due to overly worn furniture, wornout kitchen dishware, accessories, materials and small appliances. The owner of this unit really needs to invest in updating and replacing worn goods in the unit to assure renter comfort. Room B35 needs uodating.
• Vicki (9/5): Clean spacious unit. Overlooking beach, quiet and relaxing - Cleanliness, comfortable bed, balcony had views and pool area was well kept The relief receptionist was not friendly and had no idea about customer service
• Nigel (8/5): Very good -
• Susanne (8/5): Very good -
• Martha (8/5): We will be happy to return - We liked being right on the Ocean, and the easy walk to town.
• Annabelle (6/5): Overall, the place is in a good location but probably will not stay there again just because how the buildings were buil - Close to stores and restaurants We stayed at Building A and I felt so uncomfortable. The only way out during fire is through the lanai. And there’s no way out during a tsunami. It’s not a good spot if you’re claustrophobic. I saw a cockroach in the cupboard and there’s a lot of insects flying inside and hanging out by the lampshade. I had to spray them with insect repellent.
• Pam (9/5): Fabulous relaxing holiday - Great location, easy walking to town. Beautiful sunsets from our beachfront lanai. Comfortable beds and well equipped unit. Easy to explore the island from here.
• Daniel (8/5): Very good -
• Brandy (2/5): Very poor - . View was amazing. Floors dirty, kitchen wasn’t equipped. They didn’t reserve a room for us. Wasn’t expecting us but seen reservations. Waited 1 1/2 for a room and had to do a room change the next day
• Andrea (10/5): Sparkling clean and well equipped apartment, also extremely friendly people. - I stayed at F4, and it was amazing. Sparkling clean, they have everything you need for a pleasant stay: all kitchenware (really, everything) , beach chairs, umbrella even snorkels although we didn't use it since we had ours. There are some people that actually live in the complex and they were very friendly, so were the other guests during our staying, which made wonderful memories from our time in the pool. It is walk distance from the village. N/A
• Heather (7/5): We had a great time! - Great view from condo, lovely lanai, nice to have laundry in the unit! Also,so nice to have umbrella and beach chairs to borrow. Bedroom was really dark and depressing,
• Beucler (9/5): Nice apartment and great location - big appartement, all the facilities, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, confortable bed and sofa. swimming pool, jacuzzi, BBQ
• Daneen (8/5): Very good -
• Anabela (8/5): Great stay. - The location was great, close to walking downtown or to a beach. The air conditioning in all rooms was great. It felt clean and it was very comfortable. I would absolutely go back to this place. Nothing realldy.
• Immanuel (9/5): Would stay there again. It’s good for families. - Location was great. Parking was not a problem and included in the price. Best thing was the washer and dryer in the suite, which also had a large sofa bed. The unit came with a large bedroom, bed, and large closet.
• Brooke (10/5): It was such a great place, I will be recommending to friends! - That is was equipped with items that we needed, such as beach toys.
• Prasad (7/5): Good -
• Greg (10/5): Would go back there again. - Great location and facility. Check k out too early. They did accommodate us around the pool though.
• Novotny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andreas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Trudy (9/5): Enjoyed the facility and location very much. Everyone was helpful and kind. - The beach was beautiful and the pool/barbecue area was very well-kept and lovely. Rental of equipment from the office was over-priced. You could rent umbrellas, snorkel, chairs in town for much less. They had recently raised the rental prices for these items.
• Eckhardt (9/5): Kona Reef is well located; the unit was wonderful; facilities (pool, etc.) were very good. - We had a ground floor unit facing the sea, which was excellent. The room was quiet. Pool area was very accessible. The location of Kona Reef was very good: restaurants, and bars were within easy walking distance. There was no significant negative issue.
• Seraphine (9/5): A lovely seaside resort. - Short walk from all the restaurants and shops. Clean and well equipped, with BBQ, gazebo, pool etc. Kona Trolley stop is just a 3 minute walk away and you are literally right next to the beach. Check in time being for one hour between 16:00-17:00 is a bit ridiculous. One member of staff seemed peeved at everything (she was irate that I DIDN’T have a car and need a parking permit, that I asked about WIFI etc).
• Hoyt (10/5): Location was perfect - The view was awesome Coffee machine needs to be up grade
• Meredith (8/5): overall good place to stay! - location was nice. easy to walk downtown. not enough towels. enforcement of rules. people were smoking and it ruined our time being able to spend on the linai.
• Ranjan (9/5): Superb -
• Janet (8/5): Very good -
• Kathy (9/5): Superb -
• Jackie (8/5): I would probably stay there again due to location and overall atmosphere but needs updating. - Great location. Nice and quiet. Central to restaurants and shopping. Beautiful views. Impressive cleaning of outdoor pool area. Towels need to be replaced. They are so old, they are grey instead of white. Mildew smell in the bathroom is pretty bad.
