My husband and I booked a late trip to go enjoy our wedding anniversary & get some dives in.
We enjoyed:
Location is perfect, within walking distance to all restaurants, shops, etc. View is lovely looking out over the ocean & listening to the waves crash right outside your lanai. The a/c was fixed & worked great. The kitchen had everything needed, was stocked & worked well for us. There were beach chairs, snorkel gear, towels, etc.
We didn’t enjoy:
Place was small & only surface clean. Things were wiped down, vacuumed, mopped, etc. But there was so much caked on (moist) dust on everything that I spent the first 1/2 day cleaning everything so I could be comfortable. For example: I threw my pillow down after fluffing it & a cloud of clumpy dust blew up everywhere. On further inspection the entire headboard (wood) was covered in that gross wet clumpy dust. I went to plug in my phone charger & the wood on the side tables was the same. I put all the fake plants outside because the wet dust was so thick on them. The lamps, backs of the tv, all the a/c vents & return were thick with dust. I’m not talking about a months worth of dust. I’m talking thick, moist, layers of neglectful dust. Sheets & towels are TIRED & need replacements. Construction is going on at the Royal Kona & our building had a new security system installed during our stay. No naps for us, just constant drilling. Place is outdated & needs love. Please talk to your cleaners to do a more thorough job.
