This property is essentially a collection of buildings: the main building which is structured like a hotel sits right on the beach; the rest are basically condos across the street. We opted to save a few dollars and get a garden view room, which put us in a unit across the street, and on the third floor.
The room was clean and very well-stocked ...

great vacation spot

We stayed in an "ocean vue" unit (E21) and loved it Would recommend this place to anyone. However, looks like construction on building North of Kona Reef could become a hassle,as ground floor just about complete. For us, noise was not a problem

Great view & will stay there again!

I stayed at A-14 for 5 days. It is a second floor, oncean front unit. It provides a great view of ocean. It's perfect for watching sunset. There is a parking garage, so your car will not be baked in the sun. It is true that there is construction on the north side of the building. But, I did not hear any construction noise from my units. As ...
We were fortunate enough to be booked into room D4 at the Kona Reef...it was fabulous!! Clean, ground level and 30 feet to the edge of the ocean, quiet, wonderful lanai to enjoy our meals and cocktails on. Watching the parasails, cruise ships and stepping out to see the turtles right in front of us on the beach. The pool area was very clean. The ...

Good value for price

We loved our ten days here. note there is a difference between ocean view and ocen front... the view is from a slant-back porch but is better in some ways because it is out of the sun. Spotless whirlpool, poolside and BBQ grills. Roooms Clean with no mold. Average daily cleaning (10 min for a crew of 3) and a bit of noise fomr the neighboring ...
The Kona Reef is actually a condo complex and every room is actually maintained by the people who own it. The result is there is not a lot of quality control on the rooms. In particular, our room (C21) had a HORRIBLE bed, rock hard and older than Methusleah. We tried to use the foldout in the living room, but it was falling apart. We finally ...

Had a wonderful time here
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/03/06
We worried a little after reading some of the negative reviews on this site but since we had already booked our condo, we went ahead as planned. It was super! The condo we stayed in (D-3) is literally 30 feet from the ocean! We loved sitting on the lanai (patio), having our breakfast, and watching the surfers and the cruise ships. Our condo was ...
We had stayed here before many years ago and it was very nice. However on this stay the carpet in our room was very stained, my daughter and another girl cut her foot on the pool deck, the air cond. unit in my mother's room had no remote and you had to climb up on a chair. The pull out sofa had no sheets. The rugs in the hallway need ...

The Best

A short walk to town and resturants. The oceanfront condo, D-12, we stayed in was very clean and well appointed. It felt like home. We will stay there again on our next trip to Kona.
