Very good

Very organized and friendly staff. They lent us beach equipment are whole stay. Our unit had a beautiful view of the ocean. It is walking distance to downtown Kona.
We come every year for a week for our anniversary. The price markup went up about 40%??probably due to inflation ??!! It was still a nice time ex c ept for the cconstruction going on. Fortunately for us we do things on the island and dont just stay in the condo. FOR RELAXING rhiugh the pool is nice & its a pretty quiet retirement type of place. If youre younger its not a party time place which we love. We love kona reef & if the process come down a bit we will be back next year. Thanks Afton for an easy check in upon arrival.

2nd time staying on this property and this unit was no as nice as the one we got.before. This one was clean but run down. Couch bed was not comfortable at all. No closet door for the washer/dryer, Crack and sagging ceiling in the bedroom. It is a great location, next ro the water, beautiful balcony view of the ocean, walking distance to downtown and next door to a small beach. If you are going to be out and about all day, it is a good place to come back to at Nighy. Just not all units are as nice and you don't get to pick which unit you stay in, It would be nice if you could pick.
The check in process was very easy, even for late check in. The property was beautiful. We had an ocean view. There was construction going on in other parts of the complex, but did not bother us. They offered beach chairs and pool noodles for the nice pool. Had the pool to ourselves most times. Loved to be able to walk out and see the sunset every night. The room was nice. Loved having laundry and a full sized fridge. The fridge had some rust and the pull out bed had some kind of sand or something on it, but we just used one of our sheets to cover over it. The staff was very friendly. We loved the location. Just a short walk to the shops and restaurants in town. Overall we had a great experience!

This is a hidden jewel! It’s well-run, well maintained, minutes from downtown Kona, units are spacious and almost all have an ocean view. We love that it’s on the ocean, has a lovely pool, and is not a large complex.
We've been to the Big Island several times and have stayed at the Kona Reef all but on 2 trips. 2 years ago pipes ended busting in several units and although they ended up having to upgrade us to another condo that was a bit of a challenge with management as he was making it our responsibility to find else where to stay. Still giving them the benefit of a doubt we booked again this year and the condo we got was very outdated and rundown, stained fabric diningroom chairs, large rust spots on side of the refrigerator, found hair and sand on sheets, smelly place and very noisy. Not a pleasant or comfortable feeling place to stay. It's obvious they are doing the the minimal to keep up with maintenance for what they are charging. We love the Big Island and use to enjoy staying at the Kona Reef, but after our experience these past couple trips, we decided it was our last time that we'll be staying there. It's unfortunate that they are letting the place to go downhill. We brought it all to their attention, but they had the attitude that they didn't care.

The place was nice! Nothing fancy, but big and with a good kitchen. The patio was nice, but looked out onto the public beach where some rough locals were constantly hanging out. Great walking distance to tourist trap area.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Our kids absolutely loved the pool, the temperature was perfect, and the hot tub was such a great bonus, especially with the rainy weather. It was quite hot, so having both options made it even more enjoyable.
Our room was very spacious and spotless, with a beautiful ocean view. One of our favorite moments was having breakfast while watching the surfers out on the water, such a relaxing way to start the day.
The kitchen was also spacious and very well equipped, which we really appreciated. Just a small note: there were no basic spices or condiments provided, so keep that in mind if you plan on cooking.
The location is fantastic, making it easy to walk to most downtown attractions. Despite being so central, the hotel was very quiet, which we really appreciated.
Overall, we have nothing but positive things to say and would definitely stay here again!
