"Pacific 19 was very convenient for our stay in Kona. Parking was a bit tricky, but staff were helpful and friendly. There is no restaurant but only an outside breakfast building-cart with coffee and pastries. However other dining options close by and room had a small fridge plus a microwave. Would stay there again as price was great for the convenience."

8/10 Good
"I had a pleasant, not great, stay at Kona Coast Resort. Some things that were wonderful: the size of the villa! A full kitchen, dining, and living area was not quite what I expected; the bathroom and bedroom were also huge. The deck was enormous. The bed was very comfortable. I appreciated the ceiling fan in the bedroom & living room, the white noise machine/alarm clock, the good quality shampoo/conditioner/body wash, and the full kitchen. Things that were okay: it did take some time for the place to cool down. Not ideal when arriving late, as I think many flights from the mainland do. I skipped the timeshare hard sell (I was able to use amenities with just my room keys) and I received calls to my cell throughout my stay trying to get me to come do that. I ignored them, but it was irritating. The floors are surprisingly thin; I think I did not have a herd of rhinos in the condo above me, but it sure sounded as though I did. Things that were bad: the wifi. My apple iOS devices would not stay connected. I called both the front desk and the tech support number provided multiple times, and was unable to resolve this problem. My macbook connected, but I was dropped from my meetings several times to the point where I just had to join from my phone - it was unprofessional. I woke up to a Hawaiian centipede in the bathroom on my second day, which was unpleasant. I subsequently killed two roaches. I would not return if I had work obligations. I might otherwise."

"The hotel offers excellent facilities that are easy to use. It is ideally located on the main street with convenient access to a sandy beach that’s great for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. Complimentary morning coffee, poolside drinks, souvenir water bottles, a seven‑stage water filtration dispenser on every floor, and beach chairs with parasols are all thoughtful touches. The only aspect that didn’t feel fully 5‑star was the front desk service, but overall the hotel deserves a 5‑star rating."
