The Two-Star rating is about right. The best feature of our "Partial Ocean View" room was watching the surfers across the street every morning from our lanai. Unlike the "full ocean view" units on the ocean side of the street, ours had an window air conditioner which we used. The kitchen was reasonably well equipted (full fridge, stove, microwave, blender, coffee maker, adequate cookware, glassware & dishes) but we ended up buying them a decent paring knife and some new ice trays from the nearby Wallmart. The room was clean enough and the sheets and towels were very clean, but the bedspread and pillow shams were quite worn. The daily maid service was inconsistant. We had to ask for them to empty the trash and provide new towels on a couple occations. Ample free covered parking was available and the room had free wired internet which we really appreciated. The location is south of the major town area of Kailua-Kona making the great snorkeling adjacent to Place of Refuge an easy drive. They had a great courtyard pool and hot tub that we had mostly to ourselves. It was perfect for my economical standards but my husband would have preferred something more "posh" (and a lot more expensive).
I stayed here 18 years ago and returned. My wife and I found it had been well maintained over the years. Very comfortable beds and units have everything you would need. The shore near the hotel is frequented by green sea turtles. Some of the best snorkling is only 2.5 miles south at Kahaluu Beach Park. The Kona Bali Kai is a great value for your money and I would stay here the next time I am on the Big Island.
We got upgraded from a partial ocean view to a full ocean view room. Our condo was spacious with 2 bed/2 bath/kitchen/living room/lanai. It was well decorated and also included washer/dryer. We had a great view of the ocean and saw sea turtles from our lanai. It was very convenient and we totally enjoyed it.The negatives were no A/C in our condo and the carpet was a little dirty. They did have ceiling fans and table fans available.
The room was spacious ( 2 full bath, seperate bedroom, living room, and full kitchen) with beautifully udapted bathrooms. The room was just steps away from the ocean. It was a perfect spot because we love the sound of ocean waves. This was also a surfer's hot spot so we got see them surfing daily which was great for our son. It's a great spot to kick back, relax, surf, swim, and sun bath. This hotel is truly oceanfront with a breathtaking view!!!The staff was friendly and always available.
We stayed at the room w/ ocean view. The building is very hard to find since we arrived at night and very noisy day time since the room was right face to Ali Drive. Inside room deco is very old. Had a muggy feeling when we entered. We found a big roach! Bathroom (inside shower, washing counter) had molds. Celling fan had a lot of dust and request to clean immideatly. The front desk didn't even say sorry and didn't offer to change the room! However they came to clean the celling fan fast. One day shower head came off and hit my daughter's shoulder and I reported to the front to fix it. The front desk had a contempt laughing when I was talking to her!! They have every day maid service, but I thought it is little bit too much since we were staying at condo. We won't consider to stay again. I wanted to hear from the manager for all things happended in a week! But of course nothing offered!
My mom booked our 2-BR condo online, only to arrive and find it outdated and filthy. We changed at no fee to a unit which was remodeled and nicely decorated, but turned out to be roach-infested. In both units, the 2nd smaller bedroom was pretty undesirable, making it necessary for us to bunk together in the master bedroom! We definitely won't be back.
