"I was assigned to building 1 but the directions took me to building 8. It took me about 45 minutes to find building 1 with help eventually from friendly neighbors. Building 1 didn't have the number 1 on the building where you could see driving through the parking lot. When I did finally get into the room it was a pleasant stay and I did have a good night sleep. it was fun drinking tea on the little patio and watching the ducks on the pond. THANK YOU Onna"

Polynesian Koi Pond Gardens Condo in Hilo w pool

10/10 Excellent

"Yup"

Tropical Garden Condo with Pool Kitchen, and AC

10/10 Excellent

"Pool view, recent renovations, nice studio equiped kitchette. Large screen tv in sleeping area with bedside charging options. Remote fan, remote tv and a/c. Common area views. Back parking lot allows parking directly in front of the building. Unit had a breeze at night and balcony provides a teak bistro set and nice hammock. What it lacks in dressers or closets it gains in its cooler elevation and central location in town allowing easy access to all sides of Hilo town. Unit is in an older complex but new renovations, pool, and lots of back lot parking make it a winner."
