What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 811 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Travelers consistently love Kolea’s prime setting on Anaehoʻomalu Bay (A-Bay). The beach club’s infinity pool, hot tub, and sand‑bottom kids’ pool are highlights, and it’s an easy walk to the beach, Lava Lava Beach Club, and the Kings’ and Queens’ shopping areas with markets, coffee, and restaurants. The gated community feels quiet, beautifully landscaped, and convenient—many guests note sunny weather and easy drives to Hapuna and Mauna Kea beaches. Several units even include passes to the neighboring resort pools as a bonus.

Condos are described as spacious, comfortable, and well equipped for families and groups, with full kitchens, large lanais (often with built‑in grills), and thoughtful extras. Many hosts stock beach gear—chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel sets, coolers, and even wagons—making beach days simple. Cleanliness and maintenance get strong marks overall, and hosts/property managers earn frequent praise for responsive, proactive communication. Guests love indoor–outdoor living, sunset views, and frequent turtle sightings at A‑Bay.

Common caveats are mild and vary by unit: a few report housekeeping lapses or tired furnishings/mattresses, occasional maintenance hiccups (ice makers, grills, A/C), or limited basics (spices/condiments, sometimes beach gear). The pool can feel busy at times and has stricter rules (no balls/toys; quiet hours), and the fitness room is small. Navigation/signage at night and limited pool access cards come up, and ocean views differ widely by unit. A‑Bay is calm and family‑friendly, though rocky in spots and not always ideal for boogie boarding/snorkeling. Tip: confirm what your specific unit supplies, bring any must‑have pantry items, and arrive before dark if possible.

This is the third year in a row that we stayed at the Kolea at Waikōloa Beach Resort, but first time at this property. This was for sure our favorite as the property was very spacious, well kept and just an overall beautiful place. The ocean view was very nice and of course all the local amenities from the awesome pool area, the beach, Queens Market and the other close restaurants are all great plus's.We definitely will be back!!!

EJ was a pleasure to deal with. Communication was fantastic. He and the property manager were available and responded with any questions I asked. The location is great related to that part of the island. We enjoyed the beach associated with the property and the pool was a great way to chill at the end of the day. Parking was easy. We had ample storage for our luggage for family of 5. The beach toys and snorkel gear the owner has in the closet is a nice touch. As well as beach towels. We bought a few snorkels for our family and used the ones provided. Beds are all comfortable. Living room space is ample. The lanai was nice as well. I would absolutely stay again. We loved the location and the property.

My husband, two young sons, and I had a great stay at Villa de Aloha! We were happy to find that the condo has a pack 'n play, beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, pool noodles, boogie boards, cooler, iron/ironing board, hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner, and body wash. The kitchen is a good size and is well appointed. We loved the balcony/deck and the outdoor grill. The condo community (Kolea) is beautiful and it is a short walk from the unit to the beach and the pool. The pool is stunning with a view of the ocean and there is a separate shallow pool with a sandy bottom that is great for kids. The condo is also very close to the Queens Marketplace and the Kings Shops. The condo is a very good value for the money. We would definitely stay here again! I suggest bringing a sweatshirt because it can get chilly at night in the unit with the AC (the owner asked that we keep it set to 72 degrees), but we were very glad to have the central AC!

This was a beautiful property super close to the beach! Our family of seven adults and one infant thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The host was responsive to request and provided beach equipment and had cribs and high chairs for the baby. The home was clean. We also appreciated how the clubhouse for the complex was on the beach. It allows us to play on the sand and then come back, rinse off and jump in the pool. Another feature was that we were super close to the King and Queen‘s markets along with many restaurants and shopping opportunities.

The condo was very centrally located and well appointed. We had a fabulous time. The second bedroom with its massive onsuite was perfect for two teenage girls. They felt like they had their own apartment. The central location was also perfect because they could walk to the gorgeous pool, market, the movies, the shops and the beach by themselves so they got in some quality free range kid time.Additionally, Resortica Hawaii, the property management company for the rental was absolutely wonderful. Everything was seamless.

The condo is incredible! We had 6 people stay in the unit comfortably, with enough bedrooms, beds, and bathrooms for everyone. The condo is spacious, and there are places to come together as a group and to have time alone. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and looking at the view of the mountains. The unit is very quiet and peaceful.The location is awesome! It's right across the street from the pool, hot tub, and exercise facility. The beach and "A-Bay" are a short walk beyond the pool. We also walked to the Kings Shops and the petroglyph preserve. Everything was so convenient.We encountered a few issues when we arrived. We called the office, but it was closed for the day, so we were worried about responsiveness. We left messages via the VRBO platform, and were pleasantly surprised when the team responded within minutes. They worked hard to resolve the issues as quickly as possible, even though it was "after hours" for them and their contractors. We really appreciated everyone's sense of urgency and dedication. We were told that this was the first time that these issues had happened. The team was gracious to compensate us for the inconvenience.On our departure date, I went on an errand and lost one of the keys somehow. I'd never done that before, and I asked to be charged for the replacement. The team was gracious to waive the charge, even though I expected to be accountable for my mistake.

Our stay began with some challenges as the ac unit was not working. Although the repair was made the next day, we had to move to a hotel for one night because it was too hot to stay in the apartment. While we did receive a partial refund for the first night, having to move into a hotel was tiresome and inconvenient. The unit itself was very spacious. However, the furniture and decor in the living room is in need of an upgrade.

Amazing condo in Kolea at Waikoloa Beach. Has everything you need, very spacious 2 bed 2 bath. The beach club, with a swimming pool, a hot tub, and a workout room is right behind the beach. Hannah is a great host, quick to respond! Would definitely recommend!

We love this Kolea neighborhood for its beauty, beautiful grounds, pool area, and especially its accessibility to shops and the beach! This particular unit was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances were high end. What was awesome was the big common grass area the patio opens up to. The kids could run around and chase birds all morning. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

No other thing to say other than it was fantastic and I don't use that word loosely. Owners were very responsive when we had questions, property location is perfect, pools, beach, restaurants, shopping all about a 10 minute walk in either direction. May have been best family vacation we have had, and we will reach out to go again. Thank you and Mahalo!

Phenomenal property, location, owners, all of it. We had two families staying in the unit. Plenty of room. We cook most meals and the kitchen had everything we need. Being across from the pool with a huge lanai and grassy area was an added bonus. Would stay here again and again.

These condos have wonderful access to A Bay, as well as a pool on the premises. It was the perfect setup for our extended family, whose ages ranged from 3 to 74. The owner is very responsive. We loved the availability of plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, umbrellas and a cooler. There was dishwasher and clothes detergent, etc. so no need to buy these things. The one area for improvement is to have unbreakable plates and glasses, which are required if you want to take food to the pool area. Fortunately for us, the other condo our group rented has these.

Condo is great. Clean and spacious. Had everything we needed. Could use more comfortable seating in living area, but would totally stay there again. Beds were comfy. Ate on the lanai daily. Location amazing.

My daughters and I had a wonderful stay here! The location can't be beat with the beach, pool, shopping, and restaurants so close by. But, the condo is so lovely and well equipped, and the owners were in communication the whole way through the process. Our only thing is we wish we had more time to enjoy it---we are island hopping and only had about 4 days. We will be back! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

after multiple stays in the Waikoloa resort area, what a treat to find a condo that lived up to it's billing. Everything was immaculate. Kitchen fully stocked, appliances, utensils, etc. all in great shape. Location was great and we were able to take our grandson on easy day trips to different beaches. He especially enjoyed the boogie boards and other beach equipment. The Ocean Sports snorkel trip and Blue Hawaiian helicopter tours were both well worth it and highlights for us. We would return in a minute!

The condo was a perfect play to stay for 2 families with kids. We walked to the beach in the morning and hung out at the pool everyday. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and more. The owners were so kind, responsive, and anticipated our every need - coolers, beach towels, chairs & boogie boards - even a wagon to carry everything. We were especially grateful for their generosity and extended our check-out by a few hours because we had a super late flight. I highly recommend this condo.

Check I was super easy, the place is how it was described (we’ve been to the property many times) we cooked in most nights. As to be expected the knives were not sharp and that’s why we alway bring our own. Tons of beach accessories like chairs umbrella and coolers in the garage storage. Would stay here again.

Amazing stay! Perfect setting and we enjoyed the pool and beach access that are about 3 min away!

June 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is great. They pay attention to reviews and make changes. For example, there were beach towels provided, sand toys and even a boogie board which was so fun--thank you! There are now multiple cards to get into the pool, however they did not work for us--only the key fob worked. There was a sponge to do dishes, but yes there are no spices. We bought salt and pepper and left them. The shades in the twin beds room were both broken, but my two teens didn't care. All in all, it was a great place and we'd happily stay here again.

Everything about this condo was great. From the location, to the comfort and amenities. Amd the host, Dmitri, was extremely easy to deal with and communicate with. I travel to the island at least once a year and this will be my new go to accommodation.

June 2025

Pros: Phenomenal location. Excellent, super-kind & responsive hosts. Well-appointed home, kitchen & beach gear. Cons: Feels tired and in need of new mattresses (hard, squeaky, uncomfortable), better cleaners, and better property manager.-Barbecue was so dirty with fat drippings that it caught fire (2 foot flames out the back within 1 minute) so we couldn't grill like we planned and shopped for.-Ice machine in refrigerator was broken so we had to walk down to beach club with cooler.-Shower floors & walls, handheld shower heads, & bathtub had black fungus because there are not enough fans to remove moisture (just in water closet areas).

Beautiful condo in a beautiful property. We had a great time and this condo made it even better with 2 bedrooms and 2 big bathrooms. Easy access to beach, shopping, and restaurants. The pool area was great too. We loved the view of the ocean from lanai too.

This was an absolutely amazing place to stay on the big island of Hawaii. The location was central to all of the activities we planned out. Access to the beautiful pool and beach was walking distance and took only minutes. And of course the views were spectacular too. Shops and restaurants were also really close by. This place definitely was fabulous.

We had a wonderful time at this luxurious condo. It has everything you could possibly need (including top-of-the-line kitchen appliances, very comfortable beds, a washer/dryer, paper products/laundry supplies/condiments & spices, and many other conveniences). The condo decor is lovely, with lots of hardwood (mahogany?) and elegant tile throughout. We appreciated the beautiful artwork and other decor elements. We loved the expansive lanai, which gave us a beautiful sunset view as well as a view of A-Bay. The location is perfect (within walking distance of the Queens' Marketplace and Kings Shops, a few minutes' walk to the pool, and a 5-minute walk to A-Bay). The pool area is wonderful with an infinity pool and hot tub. It never felt crowded, and there were plenty of poolside chairs. We had a fantastic time and hope to return!
