Stayed in a Ground floor ocean front room (D7). Reading some reviews made me question my choice in staying here but after the first day here I realized this was a very good choice. Great ocean and sunset views. Small, un-crowded beach next door. Easy walking to downtown Kailua shops restaurants and entertainment. Good pool and spa with barbeques available.... more

After reading some of the reviews on the site I was a tad freaked about staying at the Reef. I knew each unit was inividually owned so it really was a crap shoot when I booked thru Hotwire for a stay there. Boy oh BOY I was pleasantly surprised! The unit I stayed in is owned (or managed) by the... more

We stayed in condo D-12 which is owned by Alex and Michelle. You can book with them on VBRO. After much research on the internet, found D-12 and booked for August in April. This condo is booked all year long so plan ahead as Alex has returning customers! Alex was great in contacting us with information about tours and things... more

Yes - I have mixed feelings with respect to our stay at Kona Reef. Let me start with the good marks. It was a clean condo. We stay in an Ocean Front unit - which was a true ocean front. The view of the big waves, black lava rocks and surfers is really amazing. But that's it for the good... more

we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in to our room. we actually weren't expecting to have a condo. because of this, we saved a lot of money, since we prepard most of our meals. when you check in, they even give you a coupon to use at the grocery store. the hotel was in a pretty decent location. we... more

This property is a condo property (I believe) and each unit is privatley owned. When we were booking our stay, we requested a certain unit. We didn't get it, but I guess I was expecting that! Stayed here for 4 nights in Unit A-14. It was an oceanfront unit on the second floor. Getting to the room was a little... more

We've just completed our 3rd say at the Reef, the 2nd in D12. It's privately owned, and we book through the owner, Alex Duncan. This condo is great! Extremely well decorated, everything you could ever want for a great vacation. Alex takes a personal interest in his guests. The location is great too, as it's a relatively short walk to... more

Elevator did not reach floor for unit D34. Steep set of stairs to drag luggage, groceries, etc. Air conditioner by ceiling, need to stand on a chair to turn on/off. Linen changed every 4 days, so doing laundry a must. Not very sound proof, plus construction next door, walls just going up. more
