Despite the great location, the filthy condition of the unit and the combative response from management made for a very
Positive:
The location is excellent. The property is very close to the airport and within just a few minutes’ walk to shops, restaurants, and the beach. It’s a very convenient area and makes it easy to walk to restaurants and explore without needing to drive everywhere.
Negative:
Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the unit was unacceptable. When we arrived around 4:30 PM, the front door of the unit was wide open. We initially weren’t sure whether we should even enter or if a cleaner was still inside.
Once we entered, it was immediately clear the unit had not been properly cleaned. There was hair all over the floor and on the toilet, along with other visible dirt and debris in the bathroom. The sink, shower, floors, and even the refrigerator were dirty. I documented everything with photos and videos.
The linens were also disappointing. The towels and sheets had visible stains, and the pillows on the bed were extremely flat and worn out. I would strongly recommend replacing the linens with fresh white sheets and towels, which would immediately improve the appearance of cleanliness and guest experience.
I contacted the manager to ask if perhaps the cleaner was still working since the door had been left open, but I was told the unit had already been cleaned. I requested that the cleaner return. They did come back while we were out at dinner, but when we returned the unit was still dirty.
When I raised the issue again, I was told that I should have been present while the cleaner was there to point out what needed to be cleaned. As a guest on vacation, it should not be my responsibility to supervise basic cleaning or point out obvious things like hair and dirt on the toilet and floors.
To make matters worse, the manager’s response throughout the situation was rude and combative rather than helpful.
For context, I am a real estate asset manager and oversee more than a thousand properties across the United States. I actually tried to approach the situation constructively and explained to the manager that I was attempting to help by pointing out that their cleaning crew may be failing them and potentially costing the property owner thousands of dollars in lost bookings due to poor cleanliness reviews.

Very pleased with individual unit resided in, but some improvements needed to Kona Islander Inn
Breakfast N/A
Location to beaches and other touristy sites.
Individual condo was excellent. Kona Islander Inn needs some improvements such as:
-having a gate to the street that did not close easily or lock (this meant many nonresidents walked through the property)
-lots of trash on the grounds and on steps
-cigarette smoking on decks and on property
-Hot tub did not work during our visit
-Bathrooms in main building locked and no one available to open (for use of pool goers)

Nothing fancy but good value for the price
Location- close to the airport so not a lot of driving after a long flight and right in Kona next to shops and restaurants. Older building but beautiful garden. My unit was very quiet (but I cannot speak for all other units as this is a big building - it still feels like a little village).
Not enough parking spots for the complex

Decepcionada
La ubicación.
En las fotos publicadas no se condicen con la realidad, la cama está prácticamente dentro de la cocina, no entraba luz natural suficiente para no prender las luces, la decoración era antigua y poco estética
