“Room with a view”

We stayed in the ocean front unit 3101. Very clean and well equipped. There were boogie boards and chairs in the closet for our use. The appliances have been recently updated. The pools were all clean and all the pool furniture appeared new. We could not use the bbq nearest our building due to some landscaping upgrades.

“Stay in Kona”

This was a wonderful hotel. The grounds were beautiful and completely kid friendly. My daughter had a blast with the pool. I highly recommend this hotel for any visitors to the Kona area. We also did the drive up to the International Observatory (not the summit) and it took about 2 hours. It was a not difficult drive, just slow due to the twisting turns of the road. I will recommend this to family, friends and plan to stay here again if we make it back to Kona.

“Great Hotel. Would definitely stay there again. Very Impressed”

This was a great hotel with excellent service and quality. As soon as we arrived they upgraded us from a fair view room to an ocean view room for no extra charge. overall it was a great place to seat back and enjoy Hawaii. Was a little bit out of town, but there is a free shuttle that runs regularly from different hotels to town and back. There is also a small mall or centre in walking distance with everything you need to fill the fully equipped kitchen. Fantastic Resort loved it!!!!

“Golf, Kid stuff, Sunsets and friendly geckos...What else do you need?”

Everything at the Kanaoloa turned out to be perfect. The location: just off highway 11 and 2 minutes from the Keahou shopping center which is convenient (and cost savings if you eat "at home" most of the time--and with kids, that's not a bad idea). The room: 2 bedroom fairway view unit on the ground floor. Unlike many other condos we have rented, this was very clean (they even had white carpet and furniture)but comfortable. The amenities: The pools were clean and not crowded. Activities: They have a Childrens Activity Director and they take kids for "bug hunts", arts and crafts and other neat things. This place really does "have it all" without the high cost of a "keiki kamp" available at some of ther high-end resorts. Downside: If you need A/C, it's not available, but you really don't need it. Also, they have round-the-clock security that cruises the property in a golf cart. If you're a light sleeper (like me), you'll hear/see the guard 2-3 times a night due to the fact that you'll have the louvers open for cross ventilation. Lastly, the Kanaloa has great geckos that hang out on your lanai. You can get really close and even pet them sometimes. If you see a little guy without a tail, that would be "Charlie." Please be nice to him. Mahalo

“Excellent condo adjacent to the beach”

Very roomy condo (2 bedrooms/2 baths) and quiet. Great for families with three pools..one overlooking a great ocean view.

“Better than hotel, Its condo type, outstanding..”

Outstanding hotel.

“Absolutely Fantastic”

Such a wonderful surprise how beautiful the room and grounds were. Stayed 3 days and wish we could have stayed 10. Very much worth the money. 2 adults and 2 teenagers,the space was worth it. Stock up at grocery store just up the hill and your set. Rooms were clean and well decorated. Lots of shopping and food just a short drive.

“Loved It”

We were there for 5 nights and wish it were 10. Everything was first rate and we will be back in the near future.

“Great Place”

We stayed at a two bedroom condo in July 2005. We were very comfortable, and the location was great. We liked staying there much better than the hotel we had in Hilo. Here we were able to shop at Costco for some meals, the kayak trip was just around the corner, the pool was a nice place to relax after a day of fun in the sun. We didn't try the restaurant on site, but we grilled some awesome salmon on the grill outside the pool area. We'd go back.

“A wonderful place to stay”

Our condo was very nice...and a lot more room than my wife & I needed. It was HUGE!!! 2 bedroom, 3 bathroom, & loft, a kitchen, a huge master bathroom. Also, that staff was nothing but nice and prompt. Story: We accidently broke the coffee table(there wa a glass center in it). I was sick about it, thinking that, in true hotel fashion, they would charge us $200 to replace it. I went to the office & explained what happened. The maintenance man came over and fixed the table(replaced the glass) and told us that he really appreciated our honesty and that there would be no charge! All of this happened within 30 minutes. Very nice people there. There was also assigned parking at no extra charge.
