What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 744 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 praise Kona Pacific for its unbeatable location: an easy, flat walk to Ali‘i Drive’s restaurants, shops, the farmer’s market, and small beaches, yet set just far enough back to feel calm and quiet. Many units boast large, breezy lanais with partial ocean views and sunset colors, and guests love the serene pool and BBQ area, which is rarely crowded. The complex is older but broadly well maintained, with elevators and secure, under-building parking adding convenience.

Inside, the condos feel more like homes than hotel rooms. Reviews highlight spacious layouts (many 2-bedroom, 3-bath setups), strong air-conditioning, in‑unit washer/dryers, comfortable beds, and very well‑stocked kitchens. Thoughtful extras are common—beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkel gear, and even welcome goodies—making it easy to pack light. Hosts and local managers are frequently described as responsive and friendly, and check‑in is generally smooth.

Common heads‑ups: the assigned garage spaces are tight, so a compact car makes life easier. Some AC units can be noisy or run on timers, and a few guests noted occasional maintenance disruptions (pool closures, water shut‑offs) or strict pool rules. Depending on building location, light traffic or frog sounds may be noticeable at night, and a handful of units show their age with dated furnishings or worn lanai/beach gear (amenities can vary by condo). Overall, sentiment is strongly positive—clean, comfortable, walkable, and well equipped—earning lots of “would stay again” and repeat visits.

Great location. Clean and convenient.

Beautiful property. Well represented by the photos. It has a great floor plan and was very clean. We loved the location. It’s convenient to the main part of Kona.

Really nice place for a family stay. We loved hanging out on the lanai. It’s a great spot for birdwatching, bring binoculars! It got pretty hot even with the AC units. I feel like the AC units need some updating. But we stayed comfortable enough. The pool is more geared towards adults lounging. There was an attendant that made sure kids weren’t disruptive (loud, splashing, and specifically no Marco Polo) and they didn’t allow balls or floaties, which I thought took a bit of the fun out of the pool. Great for relaxing though. Overall I loved the building, it was nice and quiet and a great location for walking into town. The parking was nice too and easy to access elevator. I would definitely stay again.

Roomy 2bedroom unit with well stocked kitchen. Walking distance to downtown. Excellent! Should inform renters parking space is suited for compact car. We had mid size and struggled

Although a little dated the unit was large, clean, and comfortable. The location was excellent, close to town and all the amenities. The property manager was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this unit.

The condo has everything you need. From kitchen to beach- we wanted for naught. Excellent place. Hope to visit again.

We enjoyed your property and the view from the lanai of the ocean. I was a little concerned that we wouldn’t be able to keep the temp comfortable but with the a/c on and the fans going, it was perfect! We also liked just sitting on the lanai at breakfast and supper and feeling the breezes. I used the pool 3 times. Wonderful! And we treated it like our own. Respectfully. Having the beach towels and cooler was great for snorkeling trips. We got by with the one toilet. We renewed our vows after 44 years!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at the Akina Pacific. The location is on the corner unit, which gives you an unobstructed view of the ocean from the covered balcony. The unit is also very conveniently located to the underground parking lot and the poo, and an easy walk into town. We had ample space and appreciated the beach towels, beach chairs and boogie boards, and in-unit washer and dryer. You can walk into town within 5 minutes. It was quiet and clean. While the unit could use a fresh coat of paint and is a little dated, it was very clean and comfortable. Our arrival was also right when there was a tsunami evacuation taking place. The management company provided us with updates and evacuation instructions that were very helpful and much appreciated.

We were very pleased with the Kona Pacific condo. It was as good as advertised and was very well stocked (the kitchen. linens, beach items in the lanai box etc). The view from the lanai was wonderful and we spent much time there. The beds were very comfortable and having a third bathroom was nice. The owners / hosts were very responsive. We would definitely return and recommend this beautiful condo to our friends. FYI: we had four adults and a 2.5 year old. Thank you very much!!!

We were here for our wedding and it was a great place to stay, clean and was exactly as pictured. It was a short walk to all the shops and restaurants in Kona. Would stay here again and recommend!

The unit was very spacious and accommodating with 3 bathrooms. The balcony was amazing and spacious to enjoy dinners and morning coffee while viewing the ocean. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and then some. We did not want for anything in that kitchen! The only downfall was the cleanliness of the floors. We are used to taking off our shoes in the house. However, when that is requested, you need to make sure people’s feet won’t turn black from all of the dirt on the floor. The floors were filthy. Otherwise, we loved everything else about the unit and location.

Great place to stay for our family of three. The unit has been upgraded and taken great care of. Perfect location for all Kona and the Big Island have to offer. Quiet and peaceful atmosphere. We will be back!

We are so glad we found your condo. The wall of windows is beautiful overlooking the ocean. You thought of so many extras that were handy to have like spices bags tin foil, etc. Especially handy were things for the beach, sunscreen for ocean. Umbrellas to use if we needed because it rains often on the Big Island.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Man, oh man! What a wonderful place to hang out at and rest your head after a day full of fun! Being such a short walk to town is such a treat as well. The property is absolutely beautiful and is very well maintained all throughout. The condo itself is amazing! Complete kitchen, two bathrooms, AC (in both the bedroom and living room), comfy bed and all of the beach gear you'd need for a day out. I'd highly recommend this condo and location to anyone looking to experience the relaxing Hawaiian atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly and easy going! I'd also recommend checking out Huggo's/Huggo's on the Rocks (about a five-minute walk from the condo) and order garlic parmesan fries, they're life changing!

Roomier than I expected. Great location, quiet area and lots of privacy. Place is clean and has everything you need for linens, full kitchen and space to unpack. Would love to stay here again. We got a Jeep that was too tall to fit in the parking garage, but there was plenty of free parking right up the street!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Kona Pacific. The place worked great for our family of 4. We wanted a location where we could walk to town for dinner or to grab coffee in the morning and this was exactly what we needed. I used the washer and dryer everyday and it was so nice to have when you are packing light for Hawaii. The furniture on the patio could use an update and the air conditioners leaked onto the patio because the trays that collect the water overflowed. We were happy we had air conditioning though it was a trade off.

An older building that has been well maintained. It would have been helpful if the buildings had been labeled "A, B, C, etc. as it was a little difficult to find the right building.

Great location close to town and ocean front. Condo exactly as advertised, clean, modern and a killer view. It has all the amenities to make your Big Island adventure enjoyable. Close to town and many great restaurants. Town a little depressed with many closed businesses and some homeless but still enjoyable.

We really enjoyed this condo. First off I'd like to say the communication was fantastic with the owner/location and they put a lot of thought into what was needed to make the stay a nice one! Nice view and the lanai has enough seating to eat and enjoy with family. The storage bin has snorkling equipment, beach chairs and a cooler in it. Nice not to have to rent them.It is laid out nice, the 3rd bathroom was great so you didn't need to go into the bedrooms. Location is walking distance to the local restaurants but out of the noisy area. Make sure to walk over to the "On the Rocks Grill" and get a Mai Tai...they are the best we had any place we went, and try their coconut coleslaw!Black Rock pizza and the Fish Hopper are the other 2 restaurants I'd recommend.Parking garage spot is nice, close to the elevator. We used the washer/dryer a lot.Kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for the week. It even has a separate ice maker. We were happy it had A/C units, they were used everyday, it was pretty humid when we were there in June 2025. One in each bedroom and one in the living area which made it comfortable.I like to sleep in a dark bedroom so my only issue was the blinds in the first bedroom let in a good amount of light. I used an eye mask, it was fine. Pool was clean, good temperature and barely anyone there.I would recommend this condo to anyone for vacation and hopefully some day we can come back.

This location is perfect! It’s an easy walk to historic downtown, a quiet beach not far from our front door, and an easy drive to other beaches! The condo had everything we needed, was clean, with a great view. We had breakfast on the lanai every morning to the peacefulness and sound of birds singing. This place was the ideal size for my husband and me, and we would love to return again!

I can't say enough about this place and the host! It was clean, stocked with anything you might need and very welcoming and comfortable. Marisa, our host, was also amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure our visit to the Big Island was everything we hoped it would be, even going so far as to give us insight and recommendations of places to visit and experience. AMAZING!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo in Kona. Safe, clean, & good price for partial views. Close walk to main drag with shops & restaurants and a few smaller beaches. Not swimming beaches but beautiful! Only complaint was outlets don’t work in the bathrooms & 2 masks leaked. Lovely time & not to far from many must-see beaches & places on Big Island.

The rental was very clean and well-appointed. Danielle, the representative, was especially gracious and welcoming.
Joe S.
May 2025

We had a great stay here, we specifically booked on alii drive so that we wouldn't have to pay for parking every time we wanted to visit restaurants or shops in town. It was perfect, the property is clean and the listing is accurate. Self-checking process is very easy. The bed is quite comfortable and the laundry machine is extremely convenient and very quiet. It was very nice that they provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and even razors and toothpaste in a little gift bag. I think our one and only complaint is that the parking spaces are extremely tiny and against pillars that make it exceptionally hard not only to reverse into but to get out of your vehicle if people are parked next to you. Not the fault of the property owner whatsoever. But highly recommend booking a economy sized car if you're going to stay here, a large SUV or truck would not fit. We would definitely rent this property again in the future.
