This is my third stay at Kona Makai. I like the location of this complex however it has become crowded making it difficult to find parking. We stayed in building 5 this time and found it very close to the other lanai's. Very strict rules about where you can use your phone. This condo had a nice kitchen but the rest of the condo is dated. The bed was ok but the out door furniture was very uncomfortable and the one lounge chair was falling apart. The towels are very small and old. With some inexpensive updates (towels, shower curtains, and lounge chair), it would be nicer. Don't count on the weight room and exercise room as everything is rusted and feels like you're in a old dungeon. The BBQ area and pool are on the smaller size for the number of people who live there. Will definitely be looking for a different complex to stay in next time.

The property manager, Dawn, was terrific handling the issue I had. Door lock was difficult until you figure it out. The furniture was pretty old and uncomfortable. Kitchen was sparsely stocked.
The bed, however, was nice and comfortable.

This was the nicest and best-equipped condo we have booked at Kona Makai. We have stayed at various condos there over the years, so we had others with which to make a valid comparison. We hope we can book the same unit the next time we visit the island.

Booking agent and owner were great, property decent, actual onsite management is a pain. After 10+ years of Kona Makai we are moving on. No this, no that, don’t do this, don’t do that, our group had four units, we all had verbal or written notices. No surf boards on any lanai even ones that face the parking lot, don’t laugh to loud on your porch, don’t drink coffee from a glass cup at the ocean front kitchen, don’t use the exercise room to early, don’t play pickle ball on the tennis court. Don’t, don’t, don’t. Rules seem to apply to all but those that make them. I’m over it.

Ground floor condo had a partial view of the ocean and had lanai on both sides. Well equipped and supplied recreation equipment and kitchen. Pretty true to description. Just a few things to note. Fold out sofa bed was unpleasantly unclean and the closet sliding doors were inoperable or moveable.

The unit was clean but is in need of some repairs. My husband fixed what he could without tools.

This unit is far better than advertized. It is very clean, in good condition, and bigger than it looks. The location of the property is right on the ocean, the pool/deck area is perfect for watching sunsets. It is within a mile of the Kona waterfront and beaches, and just 15 minutes from the airport. We never had a problem with parking as there are plenty of spaces available, many being right outside the front door. There are two lanais to enjoy; the main lanai is perfect for breakfast with the sunrise.
We were very pleased with the amenities; the kitchen was wonderful in every respect, the bathroom was very clean and in good condition, the bedroom was large with a comfortable bed and linens. The A/C units worked to perfection cooling the entire condo on the hot days we were there. The ceiling fans are newer than the ones shown in the photographs and are silent and effective.
The unit comes with other unlisted amenities such as beach chairs, snorkels and fins, coolers, etc.
The front door can be tricky to open, but once you get the hang of it it's no problem. Just pull the door toward you and turn the key at the same time and it opens right up.
My wife and I look forward to returning to this property in the future, it is our home away from home in Hawai'i. 5 stars for sure!

Overall l impression of the property is excellent. That being said there were a few minor maintenance issues to be addressed but the property manger was very helpful in addressing them.
Great stay!

Nice property in a good location with easy access to island attractions. Very quiet and peaceful property. Comfortable bed. All windows and screens in working condition. Great supply of beach chairs, umbrella, towels and household items. Lovely lanai with comfortable seating.
Things that need improvement: 1) Replace the door lock. Better yet, install a digital lock. The amount of effort required to unlock the door is ridiculous. 2) Eliminate the unpleasant musty odor...perhaps deep clean or replace living room furniture cushions. 3) Upgrade bedroom air conditioner. It was so noisy, I barely used it. 4) Replace the bedroom ceiling fan/light fixture...it wobbled, was noisy and did not provide much air movement even at a high speed. 5) Fix or replace the living room ceiling fan/light fixture...could not get to turn on at all.

We love staying at the Kona Makai, but this was not the cleanest unit that we have stayed in. It needs a good deep cleaning! We love the condominiums and the relaxation that we are able to get there!

The property is lovely, well equipped and quiet! Everything you need is in the unit! Perfect location, close to everything in Kona. Busses stop near by and bike rentals are very close. Dawn was awesome, responded quickly about changes in our check in and was so very helpful when we needed a late check out! Perfect stay! So Kona!
