Do NOT recommend this place Roaches!
Absolutely a terrible experience. Place had cockroaches. The toilet flapper would stick and the only way to operate was to take the lid off and manually trip the flapper. Bathroom sink was clogged. Light bulbs were burnt out. Front door lock battery was dead. Hot tub was out of service The front desk or management NEVER responded to a single question I sent before arriving and never responded to any of my comments.

Room was just ok. Internet and cable TV didn't work and when we asked about what to do we were just referred to the management agent for the owner. There is a 1000 rules you have to agree to to check-in. It's not the worst place I stayed, but it isn't one of the better ones either.

Condo unit itself in disrepair and was literally dirty, including lanai surface (bought a tatami mat just to put our feet down on the surface after sweeping). Slider/screen doors both in terrible shape - had to really muscle it to get it closed w/a rusty piece of wire as a "lock"! Shower head flapping in the wall, & had to buy a paring knife just to prepare food. We're 'campers' but this was yet another Islander condo that is obviously over-used/under-maintained. (We've tried three times!)

I wouldn’t book again.
No toilet paper . No spoons or sharp knife. Stayed in unit 145. Thin towels. Insufficient wastebaskets. Laundry room had no soap in dispenser, yet took our money. Change maker out of service. Can’t get any help from desk because it’s condo owned. Can’t contact owner while there for any help. Would not recommend.

Definitely sqaure in two star territory. No blankets for pull-out bed. Front desk person was rarely there, and when I finally asked them about it, they said contact the unit owner. Jacuzzi was very foamy. Parking on the grounds after 4 PM is impossible (not enough parking). The location is what saves it.

I arrived at the unit to find out that there are 121 units, and only 60 parking spaces. I am disabled, with difficulty walking, there are only 3 handicapped parking spots. Non of the spaces were available, because they are taken by permanent residents. This unit was on the 3rd floor, with no elevator. This is a private condo association with no options for changing rooms. I was stuck with a non-refundable room on the third floor, with a long walk to get to the room and no staff to help me with my luggage, I was blessed to have another guest offer to help me carry my luggage up the stairs. I had to walk down an uneven pathway for more than 100 yards to get to the building, then tackle three flights of stairs. The security was ridiculous. The so called gate entry had a three foot opening for anyone to walk through. The walkthrough gate didn’t have a lock. The room was no better than a two star hotel. Queen bed, tiny refrigerator about two cubic feet, bar sized sink, nothing to cook with, only two plates, two bowls, two filthy coffee mugs, and some cups, shower with hot and cold faucets reversed, you have to take out your own garbage with the dumpster at the front of the property and the unit at the far back, laundry facilities were good, the room did have air conditioning which was nice, a good view of the ocean from the balcony, the sliding door was broken, screen was off track and no lock on sliding door, the pool and hot tub were nice, lots of stray cats on the grounds, sad!

Nice place but awful management
Door lock would not operate and clerk was able to let me in with the master code and tried to reach management but could not. Therefore I could not lock the room for the entire stay. Internet was not available as well as TV cable. This place consists of individually owned condos that are managed by Soleil. They are at fault for not giving me what I paid for.

The hotel is clearly dated and in need of some remodeling. No matter how long we ran the shower the water never got beyond lukewarm. A few times finding an open parking spot was a real hassle. They would do better to number the parking spots so each unit has a designated parking spot. On the plus side, we had an ocean view and we could walk to numerous restaurants and shops. It also was a very affordable option compared to most other hotels that are more like $500 to $800 per night.

Expedia listing is not clear this is a timeshare/privately owned condo. There was no service or staff for support beyond people at check in who expected us to know about timeshare information. No blanket was provided for the pull out bed and since there was no service options we had to make do without. That being said, pool was nice, unit was clean and location for accessing Kona were all positives.

Parking was at a premium. If we used our rental, we feared nothing would be available upon our return and we'd have to park off-property somewhere. Not knowing the area, that made us very nervous since we were using a rental car. Check-in was long and tedious. I was made to read and initial over ten warnings and fines for a number of ridiculous potential infractions. This set a very unpleasant tone to our stay. If I could have gotten a refund, we would have left on the first day. As an adult, I should be asked to read all ten plus statements/warnings/fine related violations and initial once! It wouldn't have been so terrible if the front desk associate hadn't come off so stern / cross. Rather unwelcoming. The sofa bed was the best I've ever used. WIFI access was extremely difficult to set up. We were given the wrong network/user-id at check-in and had to reach out to two outside companies to get it resolved. Unit door security locking system was excellent. Very quiet most of the time. Property was centrally located to most of Kona's night life and dining.
