First time booking this property and would definitely recommend it. Look forward to our next vacation and rebooking.
Our families 3rd trip to the Big Island and this was the best place that we have stayed at so far. Would definitily book again.
our family stayed at the property over the Thanksgiving break. The property manager service was over and above. They offered to buy groceries and coordinate spa services. We did not take them up on it, but it was nice that they offered. The location to the private beach club was, amazing. Also, the access to the beach/fins, snorkel gear, beach chair was very nice. There are also bikes that were available, that we did not use them. Fantastic place and we would definitely stay again at the same location if we went back to the big island.
Very private, secure location right on the golf course. Beautiful property- very well maintained!
Will definitely stay here again! Would recommend
to anyone. You also have access to a private beach, perfect for the family !
Great end unit and location with beautiful golf and mountain views.
This was a wonderful property to stay at! It was even nicer than the pictures. Everything you need to enjoy the resort was provided from bikes to beach gear! We will be back!
We have stayed at several STVR units at the Golf Villas over the last seven years. Collectively, this is our 7th unit at the Golf Villas that we have stayed in. Hands down, bar none, this is the best unit. Period. Full stop.
First the unit. It is clean, bright, tastefully decorated and well equipped. Some recent updates r4ally make this unit stand out. All the carpet has been removed and replaced with a nice tile. Walls painted and the unit is very bright unlike several of the other units which had original tan paint, carpets and dark accents. If I had any complaint it would be the televisions are not "smart tvs". So, it was hard to stream Netflix etc. for the kiddos. Simple HDMI cord solved that issue though. So, no big deal. Otherwise, everything else was great. The beds, the linens, all very clean, new, and comfortable. Kitchen had sharp knives - a common complaint for frequent STVR renters.
Next the extras. Plenty of beach towels. Lots of pool/beach equipment including, sand toys, chairs, umbrellas and snorkel gear. The unit even has 3 bicycles. All newish and in good working order.
Finally, the Golf Villas. We really enjoy this property on the Mauna Lani. It's close to the beach club and golf club. It's a little further away from the grocery but we rent a golf cart to get around. So, again, no big deal.
We will 100% stay here again and look forward to doing so. Thanks for the great stay!
The Golf Villas are beautifully landscaped and a quiet area; it seems primarily adults live and stay here. The unit we rented had hard surface patio furniture rather than what is pictured on web site (cushy chairs and couch on lanai), so that was disappointing. Communication with property concierge was lacking. Upon request, we were granted a two hour later checkout which we ended up not needing, but that was nice. However, the place was not well stocked: only two bath towels in master BR, no Kleenex in bathrooms, too few laundry pods (there were only two of us), a/c limited to 75 degrees, ants in kitchens and no spare traps to set. These concerns were shared with our “personal concierge” but went unanswered. Not exactly the type of communication and attention to detail I would expect from a concierge.
Great property to stay with friends. The pool was close by, only a couple minute walk.
Grocery store, some shopping near by. We rented three bikes in additional to the three that the property had to offer. Various beaches in driving distance to property. Incomplete sets of snorkel gear provided, so we ended up renting some. Advertised to have air conditioning, although it was locked to be set no lower than 75, which we all felt was too warm, especially to sleep in at night. Took sometime to get into contact with property manager. After a few unanswered text messages, she did eventually pick up my phone call. They did eventually agree to lower the temperature to 73, but that didn’t occur until day 4.
Overall it was a great stay. We all had a good time and mostly exceeded our expectations.
This 3-bedroom is very large and it’s gorgeous. The place is super clean and has a wonderful private lanai as well as a balcony off the master bedroom to fully enjoy the outdoors, warm island breezes, stargazing, etc. The living areas and one of the bedrooms are downstairs and so you can walk right outside and enjoy the lush lawn and views of the golf course. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bathrooms are luxurious, especially the master bath with its large walk-in shower, sunken bathtub, and big walk-in closet. Plenty of hangers in each closet, all those details that make your stay easy! The beach club is fantastic and super easy to spend the entire day at. we didn’t really use the pool because it was sort of in the middle of the complex and doesn’t have the best location or any views. But it seems nice enough if you really need to get into a pool. there’s also a Jacuzzi which would be nice after a long day at the beach if you can make time for it, but it closes at nine so we actually never made it in there in time after watching sunset at the beach and going to dinner or even eating dinner in the condo. There is no streaming or any pay-per-view available, just a fairly standard cable TV package, so be sure to bring any cables/adapters you need to connect your laptop to the tv if you need to watch your shows! we would definitely stay here again!
