We have stayed at the Kona in Islander in Two previous times and really enjoy the location, the staff and the grounds. We love that there is a grill, hot tub and pool.

The room that we stayed in was nice and comfortable and suited our needs for the most part. We love coming there but we do have some suggestions for things that would be helpful for travelers coming such a far distance. At the minimum, a broom and dust pan and would be so helpful in keeping the floors clean and therefore the sheets comfortable for sleeping. Chairs and a couple boogie boards would be fantastic as well.

Location was very central to shops etc and we had a room with a waterfront view. Pretty well equipped kitchen and additional beach items. Nice to have the use of a pool and spa too.

Although some toiletries were provided and appreciated, body wash and shampoo / conditioner probably would have been more useful instead (and a bathmat)! Very hard to obtain car parking.

The location is right in the middle of the tourist area. Beach across the street. Our balcony looked out on the ocean but most of the units face the pool and garden. The room was large and nicely decorated.

Noisy part of town.
