When we booked this we thought we were booking for the Kona Reef which is also owned by Castle Resorts. The only nice thing I can say about the room was the ocean view. When I got into the room it was old and had stains in the carpet. The unit was so hot. So I asked the front desk... more

The previous review was spot on; Cockroaches, insects, it was dirty, the shower didn't work, old, over priced, understaffed, advertised as a completely different experice. Kona Bali Kai was located on the beach but you can not swin there. The lighting was terrible, the blinds and doors didn't work properly, and the lounge chairs were dirty with grime. I did... more

Condos were centrally located to attractions and shopping. This was a very nice room for the value. Bedrooms were a good size and nicely furnished. The view couldn't have been better - ocean view approximately 100 feet from the water. Watched the sea turtles in the tidal pools, the dolphins a little further out, and surfers all day long. Not... more

Just up the road from the best snorkeling on the Big Island, we stayed in 166, which is a 1 bed condo. Nice kitchen, small living room which needed a couple more chairs. View across the street to the ocean was nice. While the Castle Kona Reef is nicer and larger, this was fine for a family to stay in... more

I’ve noticed that most reviews aren’t that detailed and decided to provide as much detail as possible. This review is similar to the one that reviewer blamar did since we stayed in the same rooms (424, 418). This stay was the 3rd hotel of the island (Hilo first, Volcano second and now this one). With a month long 4 island... more

The complex has great oceanfront views. It appeared to me that all the rental units had a spacious lanai and a wonderful ocean front view. Through an internet special, we were assigned unit #422, on the top floor. There is one elevator for the complex. The unit was very comfortable and roomy with lots of storage, a laundry, 2 televisions,... more

New Kitchen and bathrooms with red granit counters. Beautiful sunsets from the lanai. turtles dalphins and whales can be seen from the lanai also. Flat screen TV if you have time. You are close to town and snorkel beach Fairwinds cruse is a must. Highly recomend this condo for a wonderful holiday. more

For the first part of our stay we were in room 420 facing the ocean and the room was great for the price, we then were forced to move to room 330 facing the street. I would stay here again only in the ocean view rooms otherwise it is not the place to stay. Overall good value for average place... more

We stayed here 8 years ago, so we knew what we were booking. It was the same, just older and a bit more worn. We had a one-bedroom on the beach. That is where the great value is. If you are content to watch the surf (and on some days some great surfers) and a few sea turtles then the... more
