The unit was great. It had everything we needed and the included starter items like paper towels, toilet paper, a day of coffee, and toiletries like shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Location was excellent! Very close to the pool and gym. Only negative was that the grill wasn’t working. Only 1 burner worked and it wouldn’t get hot enough to cook our chicken.
We have stayed in 3 other units in Halii Kai. We love the atmosphere and care of complex and feel Halii Kai owners take pride in their units. We were a little disappointed in 16C. As another review stated the unit needs some attention. Dirty stained carpet, dirty couch, noisy washer, shower needs deep cleaning, & the furniture is looking worn. We did have a ant problem in bedroom but Halii Kai sent someone out and handled it. That said the kitchen was in great condition and quality appliances. Salt and pepper was not supplied. Location was great for pool and restaurant. Restaurant food and service were excellent.
This is our second stay at Hali’i Kai.Unit 16c needs some attention. The carpet in the master bedroom was filthy and stained. The grout in the shower and floor needs a deep clean. Both bathrooms have small wall clocks which are missing batteries. The bed is hard and the fitted sheet slides off each night. It has a crummy, very loud stacked washer/dryer with weird detergent sheets that never quite dissolve. There really isn’t an ocean view…you can just see a sliver of ocean peeking out over a hedge. Also, the patio overlooks the street so there is a lack of privacy. Positives: the kitchen has high end appliances including a Wolf cook top and oven, and a Sub Zero fridge. The unit came with plenty of supplies for our 11 nights, including TP, paper towels, toiletries. This unit is very close to the pool and restaurant. The management company responded quickly to all of my inquiries. Comments about Hal’i Kai. The second floor units are more desirable due to added privacy and better views. The buildings closest to the pool are preferable (but more expensive). Try for any building numbered 10 and above. The grounds are gorgeous and the bar and restaurant add a lot of convenience…they make a killer mai tai. The pool furniture, while comfortable, is showing a lot of wear, made worse by the mineral (zinc based) sunscreen requirement that the state of Hawaii has implemented. It’s for the health of the reefs (yeah!) but man that sunscreen is the worst!

Overall, the condo and complex were great. This was our second time staying in Halii Kai, so we knew what to expect. Location - We really loved the location with the slight ocean view from the patio. We would spend the morning drinking coffee and catching up on work. It is so close to the pool/bar/gym so super easy to walk with the littles. The big crash lawn was perfect to let the kids run around and play soccer. The entire complex is also super close to the shops so that’s convenient for a quick grocery or coffee run.Condo - the layout of the condo was super nice for our little fam. We had some struggles with the internet and the property manager took care of it
Great condo and location!
The condo was perfect for our stay. The layout was just what we needed and perfectly appointed. You really couldn't beat the location. The was a great view of the ocean and sunsets from the patio and it was just a short walk from the pool, gym and club house. It was just what we were looking for.
The property had everything we needed for our stay and is in such a great location. We felt at home from the minute we arrived and will definitely be back!
Wonderful location, clean and beautiful property close to pool, restaurant and fitness center. Would definitely stay here again!
This unit is a 2 minute walk to Ocean Club. The patio has unobstructed views. I would definitely use it again.
Great spot. Hali Kai was just beautiful. We made it to pool almost every night for some swimming, drinks and sunset
This was an amazing place. Beautiful view as you wan in and the pool is right on the water and we could walk right out the back slider to it without getting into a car. We loved all the supplies from kitchen to beach equipment.
We absolutely love Hali'i Kai and 16c for our Big Island stays. The resort is always peaceful and serene, the condos are clean and always have a lot of nice touches that enhance our stay such as laundry, extra snorkel gear and beach towels. The pool food and drinks are fairly reasonable compared to other places in the area and the pool itself is always wonderful to catch a sunset at. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
We had a great stay! Very clean, comfy bed and air conditioning! Had all the amenities! View of ocean from lanai was a great place to start cocktail time! Started the day at 6:30am on the treadmill and Peloton in workout area overlooking the ocean while watching the whales playfully passing by. It’s a short walk to the pool and workout area. Recommend grabbing a couple lounge chairs along the ocean! You can actually do two things at once. Sunbathe and whale watch! Pool/Bar/Restaurant area is the perfect spot to watch the sun set! Oh, don’t forget to look up! The sky is littered with stars!
Enjoyed the place. Great location. Not great for teenagers as the pool has a lot of rules and there were not any other young ppl around.
Excellent service from the manager. Just beautiful watching the whales from the Lanai. I love it when the property is just as described.
Spacious snd comfy condo in a super convenient location right by the gym and ocean club, inside a well-manicured, gated. community.
