We loved the breeze and sleeping with open window close by the sea.Everything was quite new and the bed fresh and clean!The staff is very helpful and really nice. Would go again!
  : The rooms door could be a little bit more massive with the lock.Theres nothing else.

Poor

  : Being right on the ocean is cool, but if you don't have a car, it is too far from the main Kona "downtown". I thought it would be walkable but there are no sidewalks and no street lighting, so you cannot go anywhere without a car.
  : Heads up, there are only minimal cloth coverings on half the windows, and on the other windows no coverings at all. You will be woken up with the sun at 5am. If this doesn't bother you - great. It was a deal-breaker for me as I had come to Hawaii to be able to relax and sleep in, and I couldn't sleep at all. That was what put me over, but other little things made it less than pleasant like not having a bar of soap, no water bottles, no handle to open a sliding bathroom door from the inside, very small bathroom, no lobby/reception area open when we arrived, poor Wi-Fi, room was uncomfortably hot (I knew there was no AC and didn't think this would be a problem, but it was hot/humid. They do have fans, so if you can sleep with those - great. It was uncomfortable for us)..... View this as a budget accommodation, and nothing more. I am normally very frugal, but even for me, this was too much and I didn't want to be miserable for all 4 nights so I moved to another hotel (Courtyard by Marriott's King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!) and ate the cost of the remaining 3 nights. It might be fine for you, just set expectations accordingly. It is a budget accommodation. I would highly recommend Marriott King Kamehameha hotel instead.

  : Very relaxing with sea pounding the wall metres from our unit. Refunded some money as pool had not been finished. Short walk to restaurants and bars, approx 15mins.
  : Unfortunately no air con so a little warm.

Wonderful

  : Location, staff were perfect.
  : I found the bathroom to be exceptionally cramped with minimal room for really anything. I also thought the shower quality (across the board) was less than ideal.
