For the price I’d recommend to people who are not big on luxury.
What I didn’t like: the resort is in desperate need of a renovation. The elevators are old & dirty with cobwebs on the outside (I know that’s a cleaning thing). Signage & paint falling apart in the corridors. The bathrooms are small, sinks & cabinets old, furniture old, tub shower, beds are hard and the bedding not comfortable. Rails have rust with paint cover. I’m pretty sure the room restroom smelled like urine. Tried to get cleaning everyday but clearly weren’t mopping. I left a pile of “test” on the floor. Was there everyday. I just cleaned the floor with scope.
What I liked…The breakfast we had at the hotel restaurant (Don Mai Tai’s) was plentiful & had good taste. We had the sunrise breakfast and loco moco w/ fried rice & delicious French toast. Appreciated the walking distance to many restaurants, bars, snacks, & Kona Inn Village. We had a corner room facing the ocean & hotel center side. Did like the size of the room & huge balcony. Ponds were nice to hear coming out of the room. I like the phone with cords. Most of the staff were nice and smiley. The least friendly staff would be in the restaurant & bar. The resort is in a great location next to the ocean (no beach access or near a beach) where you can watch the grand beautiful waves. Although no beach access, there is water access to a lagoon. Nice to hang and relax. Overall the property is decent.
