This condo was a perfect place for our stay! Busy downtown during day and quiet comfortable bed for night. Lanai view of the bay beautiful!

We stayed here for 5 night. It was a great location and very clean. It’s a little dated but I think they all are.
We had a nice stay

This condo had everything we needed! It is very well stocked and has a beautiful open floor plan. We really enjoyed the huge balcony and the fact that it's really an additional living room and dining room.
Beautiful place!

Great location. Pictures are accurate. Close to all the amenities in Kona. Staying here, you do not need a car unless you are going to tour around the island. Grocery stores (2 on Palani), Walmart (straight up Henry Street), and local shopping are all within a mile of the condo. There is an ABC Store directly across the street if needed that is open 7:30 am to 10:00 pm 7 days a week. Beaches are close (Kailua Pier being one of them) or several along Ali'i Drive or the old Kona Airport that is 1.5 miles away from the condo. There is an E-bike rental shop on the main floor of the building and a brand new coffee shop that has 15% discount for those who staying in Kona Plaza (great coffee and treats). Bike rental shop was amazing. Farmers Market is a 3 minute walk away for all your fresh fruit and veggies. We had no issues with the property. Property manager was amazing and has options available for mail and parcel pick up, which was greatly appreciated! We would stay here again.

This is the third time we stayed at Kona Plaza (first time in this unit) as the location is great and the condos are always clean. Despite specifically booking this unit, which was advertised as having air conditioning, we arrived to find that the air conditioner was inoperable and there were only portable units in each bedroom. These units failed to effectively cool down anything past the bedrooms, which made it quite uncomfortable for us to enjoy the other areas of the condo during our stay. For what we paid this was unacceptable.

This is a nice unit close to everything Kona town has to offer. We have stayed in this unit before and this is our second time renting it. It is clean and updated. Close to many restaurants and shop. We were a bit taken off-guard during this stay as upon arrival as when we drove into the parking garage it has many temporary structural beams holding up the parking garage. We were told by a condo owner that the building was sinking and that they were starting a major structural project to fix it. We feel we should have been told in advance as it seemed a bit scary. I am sure it is fine as I canʻt imagine they would allow people to stay in this building if it was unsafe, however, it definitely made us feel concerned.

We loved staying here. Every thing was short walking distance in town. Outside of town 90 minutes got you to everything you want to see from green beach to very top of Mauna Kea. Plan on returning next year and other than a few days in Hilo hope to return to this condo!

It was a nice condo, better than expected. Tv did not work first night, it was replaced on the last night. We did see roach activity, so we kept all food in fridge. Sofa couch not comfortable, but did the job. It was a hassle to get to parking garage thur elevator you needed a key all the time, and parking garage entrance was difficult with large vehicle due to renovations going on. Condo was in perfect location

The location is good for access to shops, etc. on Ali’i Drive but a bit overpriced for what you get. For example, there are several fancy hotels nearby that have a daily rate per person for less and with more amenities as long as you don’t want to cook.

Problem free would be the best way to describe our stay. All of the access codes worked, and everything in the unit worked with no issue. The balcony doesn't have a water view, but it is roomy with a nice breeze. It was the default location for morning coffee. Communication from the mgmt company was also prompt, friendly, and efficient.

We had a nice time in Kona and the condo was everything we were expecting. The photos and description were perfect other than the sofa has been updated. We were there for appr. 4 weeks and everything was great. We really enjoyed relaxing out on the deck late in the day and the view across to the church. We used the bbq's on the upper deck a few times and that was nice. This isn't a 5 star condo (and your not paying for one) so if you set your expectations realistically you'll be happy with your stay here. Having parking was an added bonus and touring around the island was the highlight of our stay. On the days we stayed in Kona it was very nice to be able to walk everywhere.

This condo was exactly as pictured. Very clean, comfy bed and quality linens. The decor was beautiful, I was able to read a couple of books the owner left for guests' enjoyment. Internet connection was good, we were able to easily work during our stay. We were welcomed with wine, coffee, snacks and some cooking essentials. The lanai was perfect for al fresco dining, the BBQ area easy to access and has a comfortable sitting area to relax while grilling. The neighborhood is safe and walkable. We would definitely stay here again.

The location of this complex makes walking to restaurants and shops very convenient. Alii Dr is a busy street, but downtown Kona gets quiet around 8pm. The size of the balcony is great, and if you look over the shopping center roof that is need of repair, you have a nice view of the ocean. This is an older unit, but does have all the necessary kitchen appliances, as well as a washer and dryer. We appreciated the beach chairs that were in the closet, and the paperbacks for reading.

The rental was great, so close to the ocean, restaurants. The rooms were clean and fully equipped. The toys on the lanai certainly came I. Handy espically the beach wagon. The only issue we had was at the airport. Our flight came in around 11pm, and there was absolutely no service available to our unit. No cabs, no Uber,nothing. Thank goodness a service person from the airport offered to drive us. Kona needs to improve that service for tourists.

The condo was great! Parking is at a premium so we enjoyed the u/g parking. Great location! Because we were a half block from Ali’i Drive, we could walk to restaurants and the pier. The lanai was large and looked onto the yard of the historical church. Beautiful sunsets from the lanai and since the lanai did not receive any direct sun so you could enjoy it any time of day.

![Kona Plaza Condo 2023]()
The condo was stocked like a home away from home. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of closet space in both rooms. The lanai is very large overlooking the pool and the back alley. At first we were disappointed with the view from the lanai but ended up enjoying it. The lanai is screened making this a very large extension to the main part of the condo. This condo is perfectly situated to the heart of Kona and all the attractions. The deck doors to the lanai did not lock but we felt safe as we were on the 3rd floor. Negative comments. This condo does not come with an in suite safe. The parking is a problem especially with the construction work being done both outside and in the parking garage (which is where we were told to park). Parking is included with the condo yet we had to pay for overnight parking ($65). I tried several times to address this situation and to be reimbursed but my calls were never returned regarding the parking. This was very disappointing as we were nervous to drive anywhere as we didn’t want to lose our parking spot and having to pay for parking. If parking is included with the rate then assigned parking should be given - this is an issue that should be considered before staying at this location. Paid parking is VERY expensive and the management team refused to address or to refund. Rental vehicles are very expensive to stay parked due to parking spots. The elevator near our condo quit working causing some hardship.

Everything was truly wonderful and we could not have asked for more.

Good experience, nice unit, well located. Management company has it together. Only issue was construction in the basement made parking tough, had to park on the street 2 times. Clean unit, upgrades from last time we stayed there. Would recommend staying there, we will rebook for next year. Check on parking garage construction and impacts. Great view from the balcony. Photos of unit are accurate.

Time share owners that wanted a different experience that got us an “in village” opportunity that we can’t get with our network. This property is everything advertised and we enjoyed it. Kailua walking experience is very achievable from this property. Parking is great and secure in an underground area. We plan to come back to this property soon.

We enjoyed our stay in Kona. Made good use of the Kona trolley that stopped right by the condo. Location was great, could walk or take the trolley to a number of beaches & grocery stores. Only trouble we had was on arrival. We arrived very late at night and had trouble finding the entrance, as was looking for it on Alii Dr. We didn’t see any sign or building # for the condo on Alii Dr. Luckily we found someone who knew the parking lot access was at end of Hanama place.

We loved staying in this unit. We have stayed at this complex before and the location is awesome if you want to be in walking distance of all the touristy shopping, restaurants, nightlife, farmers market, and an easy slip into the water;)
This unit was SO CLEAN and just really nicely updated. It was very well stocked. We were used to having to buy more during our stays and did not have to do that this time. The lanai is big and great for dinners/lounging/etc.
we would DEFINITELY stay here again. Woulda booked it for March, but it was already taken! Haha!

The interior of the property was clean and communication with management was easy. The unit itself was very dark in terms of lighting and the decor feels outdated. The two portable AC units in the bedrooms are very loud and would not work until we cleaned their filters at 3 in the morning. Because of this we did not get the best sleep during our stay here. The location is great and it is easy to walk to local restaurants and stores.

The beds were incredibly comfortable - seriously, I don't think I've slept so well on vacation before! The location cannot be beat either, we loved being able to walk almost everywhere! We would definitely recommend this property to anyone and will more than likely book again, whenever we return to Kona.
