I did not want to go home!! Kona Nalu is the best!!

Kona Nalu 303, All of the reviews below are 100% accurate with the exception of the 2005 report of bugs. We stayed for 8 nights the first week of April 2008, and we only saw one bug (it was a big one though) in the elevator the night before leaving. Also the elevator worked fine, it didn't seem to make any funny noises, so I'm assuming it has been fixed. I walked around and looked at all of the condos and the ones that are for rent, I really think unit 303 and 302 have the absolute best views. Although don't get me wrong every unit of this complex has wonderful ocean views. Kona Nalu is absolutely Ocean Front. You couldn't get any closer. Also I really liked the 3rd floor, it is very private. We had a great vacation, and spent much more time in the condo than anticipated, simply because of the view and the sound of the waves. We even went for Pizza one night and the restaurant was not in downtown Kona and didn’t have an ocean view, but we didn’t care because after we ate, we simply went home and had our own ocean front view. 303 is still my favorite though. If you’re looking for an ocean front condo, without the frills of a big resort this is it. I actually felt sorry for the people staying at say the outrigger, or the Sheraton. They’re most likely paying top dollar for their ocean views or ocean front, and they are required to eat out each day. There are so many restaurants in Kona that I’d rather have the flexibility of making bfast or dinner in the condo or driving 5 minutes to a nice restaurant. In any case I absolutely give Kona Nalu 303 “a thumbs up”, we loved it, and I will definitely be back!!
