My stay at Kona Reef Resort was largely enjoyable, thanks to the stunning views and the comfort of our unit. However, the experience was somewhat overshadowed by the outdated furnishings in our unit and some cleanliness issues we encountered. The location is fantastic for exploring the local area, but I wish the cleanliness was better addressed upon our arrival.

Our stay at the Kona Reef Resort was truly special, especially for its amazing ocean views and proximity to downtown Kailua Kona. The units were clean and equipped with everything we needed, making our stay comfortable. Although the air conditioning had some quirks, and it could get noisy in the early mornings, it didn't take away much from the overall experience. The full kitchen was a plus for preparing our meals, and the pool area was a delightful retreat after a long day of exploring.

I stayed at Kona Reef and loved the location, which is a short walk to restaurants and shops in Kailua Kona. My room had a nice view of the pool and ocean, but the amenities weren’t ideal. While the staff, like Rita, were friendly and welcoming, the cleanliness of some units was questionable. Overall, I had a decent stay, but there is room for improvement in cleanliness and maintenance.

Our stay at the resort was certainly a mixed bag. The ocean views were stunning from our unit, and the location was perfect for exploring local attractions and dining options. The cleanliness of the unit was commendable, but the couch was uncomfortable and made relaxing less enjoyable. Overall, it was a good experience, but there were a few significant downsides that detracted from the overall comfort.
