It was convenient for us and a nice view and ocean sounds. It was comfortable. The manager did have a fan that was stuck on fixed the next day.

Stayed for 6 nights and the place had everything we needed in the kitchen and elsewhere. Fans, beach towels and chairs, kitchen items. Great place if you like to listen to the ocean, fantastic for sleeping! Easy walk to most of the Kailua Kona strip and easy to drive to other places since it is on the less busy end of Alii Road.

I live here on Island but at the last minute I decided I wanted a quite Christmas on the ocean. This place was perfect! The unit was clean and comfortable. The grounds were clean and I felt safe. A short walk to all the restaurants on Ali'i Dr. The sunsets from the pool were beautiful! My favorite part was listening to the waves on the lani and inside while I slept. I saw a whale and dolphins while sitting on the lani! ♥️

Ocean View exceptional, pool small but pristine, assigned parking a wonderful bonus, elevator 15 steps from condo and from parking, great eating and drinking nearby. We’ll try to come again! Mahalo.

We've been to the Kona area numerous times. The Hale Kona Kai is the centrally located for any activity. We had a room with the lagoon view. Beautiful. Unbelieveable proximity to snokeling & relaxing on the beach.(a whole 3_ minute walk). We look forward to our next visit.

The condo is beautifully apportioned with fully stocked kitchen, linens, towels, blankets and anything you need for your stay. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! The view from the lanai is wonderful and the A/C in the bedroom was great. Go to sleep with the sound of the waves and the small chirping frogs.

We booked this property last minute. Due to a change in our flights we extended our stay on the Big Island and had to find last minute accommodations.
We were pleasantly surprised with our choice. The unit is in the perfect location, easy to find and the views from the deck did not disappoint.
The kitchen was very well stocked with good quality utensils and cookware.
The linens were high quality and very well stocked.
The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on.
The building itself is a bit old but is well maintained. The patio at the front of the building is perfect to enjoy the beautiful sunsets!
Our stay was absolutely perfect. A solid 10/10.

We've stayed in 3 different condos at Hale Kona Kai, they have all been exellent so far, you cant beat the beautiful sun sets and the location is excellent!

According to the maintenance staff, the air conditioning system has not worked correctly in three years. Constantly breaking down. More time down than working. Had we not had a swamp cooler in the bedroom, the entire unit would have checked out and sought other accommodations; like some of the other guests did.
Because of the heat and humidity, we were not able to use the oven and used the stove in a limited capacity. And we spent most of our time "hiding" in the only cool room in the unit.
A spectacular view is worthless if you never want to be in your expensively rented accommodation.
We want to visit the "Big Island" again. But we would only return to the Hale Kona Kai if the AC were "properly, permanently" repaired

Positives: Location to Kona retail area, provided beach chairs/towels/cooler/boogie boards, wonderful assortment of books about the local area, lots of kitchen equipment, and the unit was charmingly decorated.
Improvement areas: This is an ocean view with the direct view being the Royal Kona Hotel, not an oceanfront unit. Also the balcony is directly over the outdoor massage gazebo and occasionally we saw more than we wanted to.... We knew that the AC was not working, but having stayed "oceanfront" at other places in Kona in the past, thought we would have oceanfront breezes, so this adversely affected our comfort, especially at night.
