"Amazing property, room was beautiful with a great view, however the pools were very full of locals, must have been a discount day for them. Just weird to see people go swimming in beautiful pools fully clothed."

"Had the best week stay here at the Kona Coast Resort. I would definitely recommend it to others. Everyone was so friendly and quick to respond to housekeeping services. The little restaurant up by the check-in office is delicious. We had breakfast there almost everyday. The location so super convenient. We were 5 minutes away from the beach we spent the most time snorkeling at and 15 min from some amazing restaurants with beautiful sunset views. Thank you a great experience!!"

"This was a very nice place. I was actually pleasantly surprised considering the price was more in line with a hotel rather than a resort. I did not realize though, that it is a time share and i was asked to attend a 90 minute presentation which i did not go to. I would stay there again with no hesitation."
