I recently stayed at Hale Kona Kai with my husband and wanted to share our experience to prevent future renters from encountering what we did and prompt changes. We encountered a serious issue with bed bugs and ended up with bites all over our arms and legs. The rental company continues to deny the incident and told us we had an allergic reaction action, ultimately forcing us to go to our doctor once we arrived home only to have our doctor confirm we were both infested with bed bugs. This can be backed up with pictures of the bites on our bodies. Not only did we have to spend our last days on our vacation inspecting the couch, bed and washing all of our clothes, we were forced to book additional accommodations not knowing whether we would be spreading bed bugs in the process. Since our return home, we spent over a week washing and bagging clothing, steaming luggage, contacting our doctor(s), lawyers and trying to determine how we were allowed to stay in such unhygienic accommodations. The rental company/hosts continue to deny the bed bug nightmare we encountered. Unfortunately, after staying at Hale Kona Kai for 6+ years, we will never stay there again given the blatant disregard for hygiene and renter safety and will continue to pursue legal action as a result of our experience.

Great location, easy to get to everything at the Kona waterfront. Could sit on lanai and listen to surf while watching fish jump in the ocean. On Sunday they had an ocean swim with hundreds of swimmers right in front of the unit. Was awesome to watch.

We throughly enjoyed our stay. There was a slight issue with our reservation and Ryan was very quick to notify us and review our options. The condo, E22, was well stocked with virtually everything we needed for our stay.

We got this condo because the original condo we booked was not available due to construction issues. We were concerned it would not be as good but were pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. The bed was a tiny bit uncomfortable but otherwise the place was great! It looked directly over the ocean and pool, very good view. I liked that they had washing machines on each floor, but finding quarters to run them was very difficult! Overall great place to stay and I’d go here again.

A quiet condo yet still close to the action. So many restaurants and shops within walking distance and amazing sunset views on the balcony.

We loved our stay here❤️ Loved waking up and having breakfast out on the Lanai. The view is incredible !! The Kona coast did not disappoint . We saw sea turtles, tropical fish and in the evening beautiful sunsets. The rental had beach chairs we could use so that was helpful as well. The place is older but really after we ate breakfast we were out and about all day and it had a great AC that kept the place nice and cool. We will be coming back and staying here when we do🌺

The view is amazing !!!
There were a few problems however:
1.) About (1) month before we arrived we were notified
that the Central A/C was not working.
We were given the option to have (2) Room A/C Units installed in the unit, in the Living Room and the
Bedroom.
To be very honest in this review, the owners did give
us a ($ 224.85), which was a 15 % discount for the
A/C not working, only after I pushed back on the
10% that they offered when I said that we didn't book a unit with no Central A/C..
The portable units were installed when we arrived, they did cool the unit, however they are so loud, you can't hear the ocean right outside of the unit.
We go to Hawaii every year to hear the ocean, not any kind of loud sounds !!!
Also, the Living Room unit is installed in such a way that the sliding door CANNOT be locked. This made us super nervous, as we're not in the habit of leaving our hotel room door, unlocked when we leave for the day !!!
The discount was not enough for no Central A/C !
2.) The entire unit needs to be updated very
badly.
There is rust everywhere in the unit.
3.) The shower head is OK if you're 5' tall or shorter.
4.) The rugs in the bathroom are dangerous, and are
anything but Non-Slip rugs. They need to be replaced.
5.) The (2) TV's are vastly undersized for this day and
age.
6.) The TV in the bedroom is almost impossible to turn on with the (2) remotes.
7.) The couch in the LR is old and needs to be replaced

Locationa is fabulous. Decor is dated. Bed was comfortable. Kitchen had all we needed. Property is dated. Needs paint. Air conditioner worked great. Security was fair. Car was rifeled one night. We will return but its not five star. Still perfect for us. Price abt 15% high based on whats available BUT its only place like it. YMMV!

We were not able to get the ceiling fan on in the middle of the room it looks like an older model not a crisis but would have been nice. And I want to come back

This place was amazing to stay at! My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and we loved every minute!! The hosts were fabulous, easy to talk to, and definitely went above and beyond with leaving us a little gift for our honeymoon. The views were incredible and you open the door/widow and just hear the sounds of the ocean. Very close to "downtown" Kona and you can walk to shops/food. We drove around the island and nothing was too far (except for the other side obviously). The place was VERY spacious, clean, comfortable and came with everything you need!! Would 100% recommend this to anyone! :)

This is the most beautiful unit in the property! The lanai is incredible, feels like you're on a cruise ship! There is a little swimming lagoon next door, walking distance to all the restaurants and shops in town. We will definitely return.

We loved our stay at Hale Kona Kai. The unit was exactly as described, beautifully furnished and decorated, but the crown jewel was the wrap around lanai. The views cannot be beat! We enjoyed the sunset directly from the lanai. The sound of the surf is the perfect lullaby to fall asleep to. Waking up to that view was amazing. The swimming lagoon that is shared with the royal kona Resort is literally steps away from the condo. It appears small but it was never crowded and the rock wall provides a safe sanctuary from the surf. It was safe and relaxing and you can snorkel and see all sorts of fish right there! The town is within walking distance, so you don't have to worry about parking. Just walk! So many great restaurants within walking distance. Huggo's is the closest and it was wonderful. We also loved Papa Kona. The unit is close to everything yet super quiet at night. The parking was easy, covered parking with a marked spot. Just wonderful. I also want to give a shout out to the management company. They were so helpful and extremely accommodating. I called to report an issue with the bed (the bedsprings had come apart) and they resolved it instantly. Just fantastic service. They went out of their way to make sure that we had everything we needed. Loved this place and would highly recommend it!
