Great sea view but let down by outdated room (175) decor and bugs
Al-Shumba (Bedfordshire, United Kingdom) on Jul 02, 2025
We stayed at this resort when visiting Kona. We were given a ground floor room in the Bay Tower (175). It was cleaned to a good standard daily. On arrival it took a long while to get processed by only tw...o reception staff on duty and a long queue. Our appointed room had a great sea view, and had great sunsets, but smelt musty / damp. The room was dated and needed renovating. The patio sliding door from room to patio was rusty and was difficult to open and close. There were numerous bugs / moths in the room that would land on your face during the night and wake you up. The provision of cheap plastic and paper cups lacked quality. The garden in the quadrangle outside the room had croaker frogs croaking all night long which kept you awake. Nice to have the greenery but not when it stops you from sleeping. The air con worked well and the car parking was good, albeit at additional cost. The hotel was well located near to shops and restaurants / bars. The hotels own bar and restaurant was good and efficient and the staff were knowledgeable about gluten free options on the menu which is essential for coeliac. Checkout was quick and efficient. Big Al’s Top tips: Ask for a room in the main block as they will probably be quieter
Friendly staff, convenient, clean rooms!

We love that it's right on the bay. You can hear the ocean at night. It puts me right to sleep. The restaurant and bar are very convenient. Close to shopping and other restaurants, no need to drive if you ...don't want to!
