댜죻은뎨 뱌쿼별례 이써욥. 수영장도 좋고 편의시설도 많아요. 객실 한칸한칸마다 주인이 따로 있는 시스템이라 와이파이 비번을 주인한테 물어봐야 했어요
I have owned a time share at Kona Islander for 34 years. They continually upgrade the timeshare rooms. You have easy access to clean towel. You can book your room 2nd or 4rd floor with ocean view. It's a studio with a bed and sofa with a bed. Perfect for a family or 2 people. Walk around the warf, or rent a car and tour the island. My maintenance fee is $780.00 per year. That's a little over $110.00 per night. My only comment no elevator. We go over during Ironman races. Volunteer where needed and sit on our lanai and enjoy the race. It's a nice property, has BBQ's, pool and spa. Nothing fancy ..but you're in Kona flip-flops and shorts.
庭園漂亮。房間較舊，一樓有霉味，浴室蓮蓬頭水很小，需要更新。
La habitación estaba muy bien. Amplia, con baño, frigorífico, una pequeña cocina con microondas, muchas toallas. La ubicación del apartamento es genial porque está en todo lo mejor. Hay aparcamiento si eres del hotel y es gratis
Je suis resté qu'une seule nuit à cet hôtel alors je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de le découvrir, mais j'ai adoré sa localisation, à 2 pas des boutiques, restaurants et bars de Kailua-Kona sur Alii Dr. Dormir au son des vagues fut une expérience fort agréable!
It is really nice. Just a short garden path to Alii Drive, walking distance to everywhere on the strip. The girl that checked us in was very nice and friendly, full of aloha. Definitely will be coming back.
The location is just perfect!! Go from the back door, cross the road and there the beach! Great restaurants and shopping centers at a walkable distance. The only drawback is the parking which is very very limited inside. Else you need to park on the street.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
