Castle Kona Bali Kai 76-6246 Ali‘i Drive, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

"This little studio apartment was great for my boyfriend and i during our stay in Kona. Upon arrival, check in was super easy as you are provided with a door code to your unit and there are keys to the unit and pool/laundry facilities inside. The unit was very clean and we were welcomed with a basket full of local goodies and a parking pass to fill out. Parking was nice as the complex has its own lot and there were many open spots for temporary residents. We were very happy that the unit had a/c that worked very well. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and there are tons of extra blankets if needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need. The unit we were in faced the ocean, however it was across the street so it wasn’t right on the ocean, but we didn’t mind. We appreciated how we were supplied with beach chairs, pool noodle, beach umbrella, and a boogie board. All the appliances worked, as well as the tv. We had troubles with the internet going out one night, but other than that it was fast. This was our first time in Kona, and this property is on our list to stay again. I highly recommend Vacasa and Kona Bali Kai."

"Visited for our honeymoon; we spent the nights pretty much half awake. I usually sleep well in a loud plane or train. There is basically no sound proof here. There is so much noise coming in from everywhere. You WILL hear every car passing by right next to your room. It's like sleeping in a tunnel right beside the road. Oh, also, the toilet did not work. Comical at that point. Proximity to the beach is something most hotels have in this area. DO NOT book this hotel for that reason."

"Rent here from owner for one week. The units have beautiful ocean views. Units come furnished and kitchens are all well equipped. Units are small but adequate for two people."

"This is by far the worst place to live in all of big island. If you can’t find a different place to live you might as well not go to big island. We stayed here 2 times and both times the service was terrible. The conditions of the units was even worse than their service. Sagging beds, overflowing bathrooms, in-operational sofa beds. Everything about this is just depressing."
