Family vacation stop in Kona
donnier (Powder Springs, Georgia) on May 22, 2025
The lobby / registration area is very nice. Has the feel that you imagine when you think tropical resort. The guest rooms are dated and past due for a renovation. The towers all show signs of a past due re...fresh. Our rooms ac did not dehumidify, but just blew cold air. This, the room had a musty smell. The water in the shower was totally unpredictable. Turn on the cold wide open and it was scalding hot, taking several minutes to cool off. Great location within walking distance to lots of shopping and dining. But wayyy past time for a refresh.
Great time other than my fall

We had a wonderful room and had a lovely gift basket upon arrival to celebrate our 55th anniversary. Everyone extremely nice . However on our 1st full day there , I slipped in the bathtub and had to go to ...the hospital ER . I had 2 broken ribs . The tub had strips in the middle of the tub . I told our housekeeper what happened and had a bath mat the next day . I am in my 70’s and my suggestion would be to have strips from front to back of tub or bath mats to prevent someone else from slipping like I did . Thanks so very much
