"It is really very close to the beach, you can even walk it.i also love the place itself. very quiet. The only thing really is the air con is very loud that you can’t sleep! That is the tie breaker. Either you sleep in comfort with the loud sound of the air conditioner blasting loud into your ear or hot but quiet during the night. I always end up turning off the air and just taking off my clothes under the covers Lol. Also the small window by the back porch doesn’t have a curtain so the neighbor...

Top Donkey Mill Art Center Hotel Reviews

Royal Kona Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Paid extra to upgrade our room to oceanfront. It was an amazing view! The sunset view was awesome and the sound of the waves from the ocean was so relaxing. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Only thing missing was a microwave! The resort is walking distance to all the restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again. The housekeeping staff were super friendly... although the front desk girl could have been friendlier. She needed to smile more. The restaurant staff were super friendly as well."

Breathtaking Panoramic Ocean Views, Crystal Blue Pool, Hot Tub, BBQ Grill!

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and layout for families – a few things to improveWe had a wonderful stay at this vacation home. The location is excellent, and the layout really stood out for us: all four bedrooms open directly onto the pool, which was fantastic when travelling with small children. We could always keep an eye on the kids, and everyone had easy access to the pool area.Communication with the host was outstanding. They were friendly, responsive and helpful throughout our stay.There were a couple of points we'd like to mention. Shortly before our trip, Vrbo sent us an email saying there was a second fridge in the laundry room, but there wasn't one when we arrived. The host explained that this was based on outdated information from an older listing description. It wasn't a major issue, but it would be good to update the details so future guests know what to expect.We also felt that the kitchen was not equipped to the standard you would expect from a vacation home in this price range. Several basic kitchen utensils were missing, limited or if poor quality, which made cooking for a family more difficult than it needed to be.Overall, this is a lovely property in a great location with a very family-friendly layout and an excellent host. With a better-equipped kitchen and an updated listing, it would be close to perfect."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Lisa’s cottage! The place was wonderful, comfortable, peaceful, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. You can tell that a lot of care and thought went into making this place special.Lisa was an amazing host, welcoming, thoughtful, and always helpful. She made us feel genuinely welcome and made our stay even more memorable. One unexpected highlight was trying her coffee, which we absolutely loved!This cottage was the perfect place to relax and enjoy our time in Hawaii. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to stay here, and we would happily come back again. If you’re looking for a cozy, charming place to stay with a wonderful host, we highly recommend Lisa’s cottage. You won’t be disappointed!Thank you, Lisa, for your hospitality and for making our stay so special. We hope to see you again on our next visit to Hawaii!"
