Small but functional room with a comfortable bed. Great neighbourhood for walking with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Lots of charm, free on-site parking if you’re quick but also free street parking.

When I got into the room I noticed cockroaches both large and small. It’s ridiculous that Expedia won’t allow me to tell the Truth. Small cockroaches were in the bathroom and larger cockroaches were present in the little kitchen sink and on the floor around the bed. I let the owner of the unit see this so it’s not a surprise to the gentleman that owns it. I purchased Raid ant and roach spray and used it daily. The freezer was broken the first 3 days and on the third night around 8pm the owner had a new refrigerator installed which took care of that problem

Unit 212 is just as deacribed

This studio is clean and updated. Pictures and descriptions are very accurate. No surprises !The one thing I will mention is that the area of Alii Drive is a bit shabby and not vibrant like it once was. There is a lot of renovation underway so high hopes for the future

Leider sehr laut

Leider war die Klimaanlage und der Kühlschrank so laut das man nicht schlafen konnte. Wir haben dann versucht mit offener Tür zu schlafen und Klimaanlage aus, aber da war der Straßenlärm zu laut.Es war so unerträglich das wir uns ein Hotelzimmer buchen mussten um wenigstens schlafen zu können.

Bumpy start, smooth finish

It would be a five star review except for our arrival. We arrived after a long 7hour flight at 10:30pm at night to be told we did not have a room and that it would be impossible to check in without first island reality uploading us as guest in their computer system. They wouldn’t open until 8am the next morning. This apparently happened even though I had paid in full and had the receipts and an email telling me to check in at the front desk with my ID. After contemplating spending the night in our rental car and fruitlessly trying to see if another hotel had a room. (They didn’t) First island reality after hours called back around 1am and confirmed us as guest and we were given a door code. We were never offered any discount or compensation for this and the front desk and first island reality blamed each other for the problem. Double check to make sure they have you in their system. It sucks a lot to arrive jet lagged and be treated like a vagrant without a reservation.

Excellent Location

The Islander is located close to many restaurants, coffee shops, shopping etc, Across the street is the ocean. Easy check in, and check out. Nice condo, clean and spacious. I stayed at the Islander 3 times this year, and will spending more time there. It’s very close to the University of Nations/YWAM, which was my original reason for choosing it.

Everything went very smooth. I came here to bring my daughter to the University Of Nations/YWAM. We have stayed here at the Islander before, and have another state coming up in November here in the same unit. Speaks volumes three stays here. We really love it.

Studio in the middle of everything

This studio located on Alii in Kona is clean,comfortable for a couple. It is nicely remodeled with plenty of storage. Beautiful garden view from spacious balcony with partial ocean view is a bonus. We enjoyed a pool in the garden and made a dinner on the barbeque. Sadly the hot tub was broken during our stay ,which we would be happy to use. There is only few parking spots there so parking can be a challenge there.

Quaint and Comfortable

You can tell that the property is aged, but is clean and safe. The entire property could benefit from a facelift update. This was a perfect place for the solo trip I took for a continuing education seminar, but not a place that I would bring my entire family back to. Location is absolutely perfect and walking through the back gate of the property puts you on the street in the middle of everything and only steps away from the water.

Pics in listing not from the actual room

This is clearly a former hotel which was cut up into owner rooms. So it’s like you’re at a hotel without the one benefit of being at a hotel which is service. Aircon was broke first day so room was very hot. But the part that bugged me was the pics from the balcony overlooking the pool were not taken from the actual room. This is classic bait n switch and for a room this expensive that sucks. Parking also too limited, had to park across busy highway in not safe place
