Location in downtown Kona is a choice! Great restaurants and farmers market steps awayWell stocked kitchenware, towels, beach chairs though I think that equipment variesDated but in good repair (sliding doors are sticky but ALL beachfront properties only have smooth doors for the first 6 hours they are installedThe choice location is also its downfall— it’s not quiet, so if you aren’t into hearing town noises, trucks, kids playing soccer next door, it might not be ideal.Didn’t bother me one bit, we had a fabulous time.No a/c but fans work well and nice breeze on lanai (I never use a/c anyway but thought it might be useful info)Communication with managers was smoothEverything went smoothly

The Kona Ali’i condo is perfectly located with sunset views and Hawaiian plumeria and BBQ aromas!
We were able to walk to dinner each evening and parking was included in our stay!
The building is aging a bit and the unit doesn’t have AC, so be aware if you’re traveling in the hotter months, but the location and responsiveness of the management makes up for those tiny concerns.
We would certainly stay at this location again!

Whilst the property was functional the furniture and general look was very dated.
The mezzanine bedroom was good but no curtains of any note so prepare to not sleep well. The showers were fine but not f you’re 6ft then aren’t high enough on the wall. The pool was good and overall we had a great time on the island

Perfectly centralized spot for the island. We could walk to restaurants and shops with ease. Check in and out was a piece of cake. The place was nice and clean and even had some beach stuff we could use. Overall great experience.

It was perfectly fine, except the upstairs shower has some issue where the hot water is just a trickle, so it is unusable. Luckily, the second bathroom downstairs has a shower, but it is not as convenient.

Great location within walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops. There is one designated covered parking spot next to the building.
There is no A/C, but several fans available. The washer and dryer are very small, but worked well.
The property management company is not available by phone or text outside of business hours.

Nice condo and we enjoyed the location as it was central to many of the restaurants and we walked to dinner every night. The shopping was convenient as well.
