Banya Tree 304 - Oceanfront Kona Condo w/ Views, Pool & Lanai

Clean, location, quiet

The plus on this place is the view and that was about it.It started with the bathrooms being filthy, gross. I had to wash the shower curtain in one bathroom twice just to get some of the filth off of it.It was starting to grow mold on the shower curtain in the master bathroom. The second bathroom has hole in wall where the toilet paper holder was to be.Really bad Hair dryer when I went to use it had bared wires and shocked me.Bathroom rug in master bathroom was so gross I placed it in entryway along with hairdryer so they would see them. Cleaning products that we found were wet ones wipes. Refrigerator was leaking water on the floor definitely needs to be replaced. Kitchen is a little small and works for 1 to 2 people in it at a time. The dryer wasn’t drying the clothes or towels after an hour of running. Beds were bad.One was so bad that they tried to sleep in the living room floor with the mattress still didn’t help. The carpet in living room had really bad stains and needs replacing. Only slept 1 night on floor due to carpet condition.Couch could use new cushions great base. The wiring really needs fixed throughout the Condo, shortages lights not working.When ceiling fan is on in master bedroom it blows ceiling stuff all over the dresser and bed. Lights over sink went out, no replacements. Beautiful view from the lanai but the furniture is so old and rusted out we were afraid of them breaking.No air conditioner. Which wouldhelped vs the fans. Stay at Hilton!!

Great location! The unit could use updating but the space, layout, and location make up for it. We would stay again!

The location and place was great. It could use a little updating but nothing to stop us from coming back. Comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and a lot of fun stuff like snorkels, hats, board and coolers. Easy communication with owners. Would stay again.

Location and floor plan of room are great. Wonderful views! Reserved parking space and elevator are nice bonuses. Very peaceful, probably because there are only 20 units.There's a lot to like about this unit, we really enjoyed our stay. A couple of negatives, code entry lock did not work, had to call property management to get in.The light in the kitchen needed both flourescent tubes replaced, had to call building maintenance. The light fixture in the main bath started strobing, needs repair. There was no latch on the screen door so the flow thru ventilation could have been better. Carpet was in bad shape, maintanance said it's scheduled for replacement. It's a great unit but it needs a little attention. We would gladly stay there again.

location wonderful, loved watching the suffers off the Lani,condo had all the things you needed for your stay, including beach chairs, snorkel gear and cooler. The furniture was not like pictured and not comfortable .The worst was the carpet was very dirty and frayed, not at all what we expected. the beds were old with foam toppers and made it warm to sleep on with no air conditioning, and not very comfortable . The water and dryer were nice and worked good. Kitchen was well equipped. Towels nice and beach towels were included, the pool was great with not many people taking advantage of it. We only used the hot tub once while we were there in the pool homeless people were in the Hot tub and they closed it down the rest of our 2 weeks .

We loved staying at this very special oceanfront complex. The unit was a bit dated but the price was right for our 10 day stay! Kona Coffee on the Lanai is the best as the sun appears on the ocean. The view fantastic for sunsets, watching surfers, paddlers and ocean surprises …dolphins. Would have loved to see a whale or two, but our stay was a bit early for whale season. Yes, recommend this unit during winter months as there is no a/c.

We enjoyed staying at this condo. We took some wonderful sunset pictures, and we often had the pool to ourselves. It definitely was the best place for surfers since we were able to watch them sunrise to sunset from our lanai. We even saw dolphins! No air conditioning, and it was very warm when we arrived. It helped to keep the sliding doors open during the night, and then close up the windows and blinds in the morning. Another fan would have been appreciated since one of them didn't work. (I left a note for housekeeping.) Lots to see in the area.

The place is awesome with an unbeatable view!! Clean and comfortable. A touch warm at night, but with the windows and fans it was fine. We will certainly return and recommend!!

The pros of our stay were the location, oceanfront with a swimming pool and assigned covered parking. The cons were (for the street side bedroom) traffic and neighbor noise and the rooster crowing (and not just at Sun up). We have stayed at this location multiple times and enjoy the pros over other locations. Floor plans are generally very similar and not as busy as the larger buildings. The unit we were in was in need of some minor maintenance and upgrades, but was the best rate of all the rest of the units and our visit and memories more than made up for any minor inconveniences.
