Really had an amazing vacation at the Kona Coast Resort. My 20 year old niece and I had a 3rd floor 1 bedroom. The condo was clean and well-maintained. We had everything we needed and have no complaints! The bed was a little firm for my niece but fine for me. The housekeeping service was probably a 5/10, but we aren't messy people so it didn't really bother us. The fully stocked kitchen was great - we prepared almost all of our meals, which really saved on expenses. We pretty much lived and ate every meal on the lanai - which was huge and comfortable. Spent a couple of afternoons at the main pool, which was clean and enjoyable. Full bar and outdoor restaurant located poolside, with tons of family friendly choices at a reasonable price. We had a blast! Already planning a return trip in another month - if that doesn't tell you it was worth the money, I can't imagine what might.

Beware construction, closed pool, closed restaurant, 'I'M SORRIES' w/o action

We stayed at the Kona Coast I September 11 - September 17. When we checked in, we were informed that the main pool was closed, as was the onsite restaurant (all their literature boasts of their 2 pools and restaurant). The pool closure was disappointing to our 2 young children. However, this was nothing compared to what we were to encounter when we went to our room. We were met with a construction crew, blocking the space where we had been told to park. There was a huge dumpster for their demolition materials, as well as a port a potty which we had to walk by when entering or exiting our unit. We were told that the construction shouldn't be a problem, as they worked from 8AM to 4PM. This is a HUGE problem with demolition noises while your 2 young children are trying to take their afternoon nap. One of the other problems we encountered was that there was not a bathtub in the unit - so much for our everynight bedtime ritual for the kids of taking a bath. We were told by the front desk that all the bathtubs had been removed in order to accommodate elderly guests, and that bathtubs were considered hazardous (this didn't seem to be the case when we went on the timeshare tour, in which a bathroom with a jacuzzi tub was displayed.) We contacted the Shell Vacation Club reservations number, and we were told that there were indeed many units available with bathtubs in the 'newer' part of the property. When I called the desk and asked to be moved to one of those units, I was told that would involve approval from the accounting dept, which would not be available until a weekday.

We were in unit 25-203 an upstairs condo unit looking over the golf course and the GORGEOUS ocean!!! I would redecorate if I had my condo there wall paper outdated and peeling in some places, but it was always clean and easy to get around. The main pool is great. The poolside pub had amazing food and a coconut/mac-nut shake that was TO DIE FOR! I miss them already and we have been home 23 hours! The condo is THE nicest of all the ones we visited... near the shopping center, right up the road from great beaches! fun farmer's markets... shopping and for dinner Don the Beachcomber is less than a mile away... WOW, talk about wonderful! Ali'i drive is a big L shape...The Kona Coast is near the middle ot the L... close to the highway (5 minutes), close to loads of entertainment, wonderful staff too. Everyone wishes you good morning, asks how you are, the ALOHA mentality I craved! Sunset walk to the coast line across the golf course (illegal but we all did it) Sit by an amazing blow hole and take in the sights, sounds, and smell of PARADISE. Meet your neighbors or spend loads of time alone... it is up to you! The Kona Coast Resort made my husband and two teenage boys so happy... I feel blessed to have been at home there for 8 glorius days, not nearly long enough! Watch cruise ships pass by in the morning sun, feed the amazing birds and had a chorus of birds every morning, Follow a path and find wild bananas growing up and down the path with wild geckos chirping with the excitement of the evening! (did you know bananas are the world's largest herb? you do now!) Try SUNRISE DONUTS at the shopping

The room needed some repair and updates. We wouldn't give the condo sales people any of our financial information so they escorted us out of their meeting. The activities desk told us to keep the discounts we were given. When we checked out we were told we had no balance due. About 6 weeks after the trip, an unauthorized charge shows up on our credit card.
