"There was a line for check-in upon arrival (3:30pm) and everybody who was checking in was told their rooms were not ready (even after 4pm check-in). It sounded like there was only 1 or 2 people cleaning the rooms), granted we only had to wait about 30 minutes for them to call me when the room was ready. The rooms were clean, hotel in a great location (why we chose it) as it is located in walking distance of many dining options, and the town adjacent to the harbor/bay. There are shopping plazas located within a short drive. The staff were attentive and friendly. The pool area is also clean. Note the pool goes to 7ft deep (for those with young children). Parking can be a challenge but we were able to park on property each night. Overflow parking is at the Marriot across the street. Overall a great location and good hotel. FYI, there is a washer and dryer on property (I couldn’t find that information during booking), but hopefully this is helpful for those who want to pack lighter for their trip. Would stay here again"

"Really nice resort. Limited dining options that aren't a fortune. Walk to parking lot took 15-20 minutes from the Palace Tower, so be prepared to walk a lot."

"An incredible property with abysmal food and sub par service. Kona Village is magical - the grounds, the hales (rooms), the spa, the yoga, the bikes to ride around the property and the stunning beach. But such a magical 5 star resort should also offer excellent cuisine and hospitality. We were shocked by the inconsistent food, the lack of variety and the room service which was never correct and delivered uncovered. We were so excited to return to our beloved Kona Village after 16 years but were left very disappointed. Unless something dramatic changes with the management we shall not return. "

"We’d visit again; self contained gorgeous property. The one thing that could be problematic for older guests or guests with mobility challenges will need a conveyance vehicle, as it is a very, very large property. There is a tram but it was not working consistently. The staff is responsive when a request for assistance is made "

"Beautiful property. Comfortable room. And the owners are so nice. Breakfast was so good as well. Views are amazing!"

"The place was perfect, the time fell on the major storm and Don made sure my daughter’s stay was safe. Don gave her a late check to accommodate her late flight. He stayed in communication with me throughout my daughter’s stay. She loved the place, close to some great hiking, coffee plantations. Not far from the beaches and airport. Highly recommended. "

"The rental house was in good condition, and it was obvious there are some improvements underway. The exterior of the rental had just been painted (the paint was still drying) when we arrived. The interior was very well kept with more than enough space for the four of us in our family. The location was tucked down into a small residential neighborhood approximately 15 minutes to downtown Kona."
