Lapakahi State Historical Park Tours and Activities

We stayed at the Kona Islander Vacation club for a week during our family vacation. If you are looking for a tropical vacation spot that is affordable and within walking distance of shopping and restaurants this is it. The condos were clean, and the property is well maintained. We use the pool on hot tub just about every night, it was a great way to end the day. The grounds are very relaxing there. We had one minor thing happen. When we arrived the air conditioner to our condo kept turning itself off every 20 seconds which made our condo very hot.. So I called the number that was given to us and maintenance came up and they fix the problem. Other than that, we didn’t have any major issues with the condo. If you want your towels and toilet paper or trash bags refurbished, you just have to call them and leave a message and they bring it up to you that day. The kitchen had a refrigerator and a microwave and toasters and coffee pot, it also came with all the dishes that you needed plates cups silverware all those things as well. And paper towels. The only other thing to mention is that parking can be an issue. They have 100 parking spots. But there is 150 units. So if you arrive a little later towards the day, the parking spots will be full so they ask you to park up there by the street where the gravel area is. And sometimes that was full as well. So a couple of times we had to park down the street. We would definitely stay there again.

I have been here once before. It’s a lovely property and the staff is great. What is unfortunate is that they changed their food/coffee. They used to have a little coffee bar where you were able to get great drinks such as matcha and they had a great restaurant. They have changed the restaurant and the food is not as great. Also very overpriced for the quality of food you’re getting. It’s better to go off property for food. They did great renovations but we had to call someone to come clean the vent in our bathroom because chunks of debris were falling from it. The manta deck is still under renovation so there was no place to view the manta rays and the light they shine in the water wasn’t operating. I’m sure that won’t be a forever thing though.

You should note that there is no ac and also if you arrive after five you must be there to get a permanent key the following day during business hours. The facility itself is excellent in all ways.
