Kanaloa at Kona by OUTRIGGER

10/10 Excellent
"The property was gorgeous with flowers, plants, trees. Lots of birds. Our unit was clean, comfy and spacious. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 balconies. You do pay extra for air conditioning but we knew that ahead of time. The property has 3 pools, one is right on the ocean with terrific sunsets! The property is located in a neighborhood that is quiet. There is a strip mall within walking distance with a few stores, restaurants, book store, coffee shop, movie theater. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"

8/10 Good
"The resort was nice. The ocean front condo had a great view. There isn’t really much to do 9n “the resort”except swim. There were two pools. There is a small grab and go for food at the family pool but they are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays and only open 8a-12p. When we asked about a good place to eat dinner we were handed a pamphlet which listed the poolside cafe that was closed that day and offered no suggestions. Although the staff was friendly, they offered no information on a plan for the hurricane and just said we aren’t being told to do anything yet. They handed out a paper that just listed hurricane categories."
