Hale Kona Kai by Casago Kona

My parents and I stayed in room 309 for 3 nights. Overall, we have a great vacation time here. Good: 1) Great location, walking distance to the restaurants and grocery stores. 2) Extraordinary views from the lanai, even better than expected. Although we live in the north-facing room, the side view of the ocean is also great, and the lagoon and mountain give more diversity. 3) Provide everything we need, from a fully equipped kitchen to all of the beach supplies. Great for a family vacation. Several acceptable drawbacks: 1) The check-in process is not really smooth. I know I made the reservation just the night before. But I did not get any check-in instructions. After we arrived, the front office was closed, and we didn't know who to consult. Fortunately, the emergency number works, and a staff member contacted me within 30 minutes to give us the code and let us in. 2) The whole building is a little old, even though it was carefully cleaned; some dust can be seen in the corner. There was a smell when we arrived, and we had to keep the lanai door open for several hours to refresh the air in the room. 3) The living room becomes crowded when I unfold the sofa bed. We have to fold it every morning and unfold it every night. 4) The laundry room opens 8 am-7 pm daily, a little inconvenient for me since I am used to doing laundry at night.

Amazing view!!

Room was spotless Furnished with everything we could need. Great Ocean views,Ocean breezes and the sounds of the ocean waves ,so close to the town made this a memorable stay! Very friendly host is just there when we needed her.

The room and view were wonderful, however the central air conditioning is under repair. There was a portable AC unit in the bedroom but the cool air did not reach the living room. The thermostat read 81-85 degrees indoors during our trip! To be fair, the association informed us of the AC repair, but AFTER we made the reservation.
