Good for Families
My first impressions of the condo's at Outrigger Royal Sea Cliff was a big disappointment. The room had a horrible smell, the carpets needed to be cleaned, the refrigerator door was dirty, and the view to the lanai was of the parking lot (so-called garden view). In addition, the Sea Cliff was undergoing renovations and the walkway outside of the condo was in terrible shape (very sticky) that has potential to ruin shoes. However, after complaining, we were moved to another condo.
The second condo was much better!! It was clean, the kitchen was in great shape, and the condo itself was huge. The only complaints I had about this condo was that the sofa could be cleaned. It had a nasty smell. Also, the lanai needs repairs (the floor tiles are in bad shape and someone could trip).
The so-called garden view was a joke. The view is actually of the parking lot with plants outside. But� the grounds of the Royal Sea Cliff are pretty, with lots of tropical plants and trees and waterfalls. The service was excellent. Each day our condo was cleaned. There was nothing special about the pool areas other than the fact that they offered a great view of the ocean. At the saltwater pool area, there was a BBQ area that was great to use and very clean.
The location of the Outrigger Sea Cliff is good. It is around a 2-mile walk/drive to Kailua-Kona town.
Overall, the experience was good and I would recommend it for families. Our family would definitely consider staying there again (but with an ocean view instead)!!
