We had a wonderful stay at the palm villas, clean, private and quiet. Would definitely book here again.We had everything we needed for our trip and the host was very helpful and friendly.The Wi-Fi was slow at times, but that may be a settings issue. Happily, there was plenty to do.
A great place to stay - comfortable condo and beautiful grounds. Will stay again if we travel to Hawaii in the future.
We had a great stay at the Palm Villas Condo. Staying at the condo gives you access to the Beach Club which is the best beach in the area especially if you have kids. The location of the condo is excellent as you can walk from the condo through the Kalahuipua'a Historic Park to the Mauna Lani fish ponds and just a short walk further to the Beach Club. The condo is very nice and it was well stocked. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. The garage was very convenient to park in and the beach chairs, umbrella, and sand toys were really useful. We will stay here again next time we're on the Big Island.
We had a lovely stay in this condo. Parking in the garage was easy. We really appreciated the beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, etc. that were provided. Towels were plentiful and there were cleaning supplies provided. The location is excellent and access to the Mauna Lani beach club was such a great perk. We would absolutely stay here again.
We enjoyed our 6-night stay in this modern, clean and quiet condo. It was my first time in the Mauna Lani resort area, and it was beautiful. I loved walking through the lava fields to the fishponds, to the private beach club. The condo itself was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. The grounds were lush and peaceful. We appreciated having all the beach gear available for use. The parking was convenient. The pool was never crowded and so serene. I did miss having an ocean or vast landscape view, but the gardens are beautiful. I had a bit of an issue with my friend being too cold in the secondary bedroom (the vent blows directly on to the bed), and the AC condenser was a bit noisy in that location. But the owners were accommodating in taking the security features off the thermostat so we could turn off the AC at night. My only slight issue was that the pebble floor in the master bath shower was uncomfortable on my feet... a shower mat would have been nice. Also there were a lot of check-out instructions which is a bit annoying when you’re on vacation. But it was overall a wonderful, all-too-short stay. I would definitely return.
Good spot: We appreciated that the place was clean and well equipped — everything needed without being filled with leftover junk from previous guests. Access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club & beach gave us a good sun spot and walk-in snorkeling. Ground floor unit was spacious with 4 dining room chairs and kitchen counter seating, good internet, and easy workspace if you’re combining work and vacay. Nice attention to detail and cleanliness was really appreciated.
Love this area. Close to the Mauna Lani and the private beach club. Pool jacuzzi right out the door. All the extras included including sunscreen! Mahalo.
This was a perfect, stress-free, FUN vacation for us starting with the booking process all the way thru our flight back home. The condo was inviting, spacious, clean, well-stocked and secluded in a secure, lush, gated community. Within walking distance was a historic site complete with lava tubes and fish ponds; keep walking and you reach The Beach Club with a calm cove perfect for snorkeling. We walked, cycled and drove to amazing restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening "nightcaps" on our private patio overlooking beautiful grounds. This was our home away from home in Paradise. We highly recommend!!
We had an excellent time staying in this condo. It's a gated, smallish complex in the Mauna Lani resort, within walking distance to the beach through a historic park to the fishponds and beach. The grounds were lush and generally quiet. Key card access to the semi-private beach was a plus.
This home was very well stocked and the management company provided great details and instructions and provided thoughtful touches throughout. I will definitely stay here again!
This condo was perfect for my family! The beach club was quite busy but it was very nice and allowed my kids areas to swim without me having to worry.
Very quite location but close to everything comfortable and quiet.
My wife and I travel to the big island 2 to 3 times a year for work. We always love to stay in Mauna Lani resort area and this is the perfect spot! The unit was fully stocked and clean, the check-in process was smooth and seamless, and communication with the host was perfect! I would definitely recommend this unit to anybody and we will definitely be back again!
We had the best time on the big island. Condo was as advertised and communication was prompt! Would definitely stay again!
Owners thought of everything! Clean, well located. Loved the access to the Mauna Lani Beach. Would definitely recommend!!
We had a great week on the Big Island. This condo was the perfect home for us as we explored. Loved the convenience of the location and the full stocked garage with beach/water equipment. We had a great week!
Clean property and responsive management. Fixed the A/C right away. Communication with management was fast and responsive.
A great spot in lovely Mana lani - highly recommended
Beautiful condo with everything from cookware to beach chair/umbrella. It is in a high end resort area, close to beach and golf course. The walk to beach through a nearby trial is really beautiful! Not a lot dining options nearby, most the good restaurants require reservation weeks before in hot season.
