UCC Hawaii Kona Coffee Estate

Vi er en familie med 3 store børn. Lejligheden var rummelig med en dejlig overdækket udendørs terrasse, som morgenmaden blev indtaget på. Husene lå i et dejligt kuperet terræn med pools og griller, velholdte græsplæner og en overdådighed af buske og træer med et væld af blomster.Der var en behagelig stilhed, og byen Konas centrum med et væld af liv lå kun en gåtur væk. Den nærmeste strand Magic Sands lå et par km ude af kystvejen med udlejning af boards og snorkeludstyr. Perfekt!

This property was great for teens being able to have a little space and a comfortable bed rather than a pull out sofa. The AC was fantastic as we had extremely humid and hot weather during our visit. There are 6 small pools + hot tubs on the property which are cleaned and maintained regularly. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Beware they send you to a 'concierge' desk to claim your key cards but it is a heavy time share pitch. The property and some details are a bit run down so not a good start. The closet bars/hangers were thick with dust and the furniture needs some upholstery cleaning as do the vents/filters for the AC units. There was a 'designated smoking bench' right below our balcony so that ended many morning coffees quickly. Nice that they have the benches but a more thoughtful placement would be better. There was a strong chemical smell coming from the dishwasher. We ran it once to see if that would clear out any left over soap, etc. but discovered the machine was actually broken and the smell was likely an epoxy used to glue plastic parts back together. We didn't use the dishwasher for the entire visit. No big deal. When they suggest you store ALL food in the fridge, you should. They get bugs and ants due to the weather, etc. The parking didn't bother us but it is a two level garage and a little walk to get to your place. If you need a ride in a golf cart, one of the staff will happily pick you up or drop you off. There isn't ocean access. Wouldn't return.
