Kona Coast Resort at Keauhou Gardens 8204

We just returned after two weeks at this incredible resort. I would highly recommend!! The resort is beautiful - flowers, trees, gardens everywhere. There was even a lime tree It is very well taken care of. Our one bedroom was huge with a beautiful large deck, large bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room and dining area. Parking is free which was a huge bonus and you have your own spot so you are not struggling to find one.

Nice options from the very popular pool with bar and hot tub, to a more quiet pool with hot tub (no bar).

Kona Coast Resort is a great place to stay. The grounds and buildings are very well kept. We particularly enjoyed the on-site restaurant/bar, its nightly live music entertainment and staff. We were impressed with the ocean and golf course view from the restaurant/bar, pool, and hot tub areas. Our whole experience at this resort was excellent. We would definitely come back and stay here again!

Excellent service, spacious rooms, friendly and helpful staff, plenty of parking spaces, well maintained property and surroundings, awesome restaurant and gym.

The resort was very lovely and affordable. The two king room with 2 full bathrooms was perfect for 2 couples. The kitchen and living room in building 9 was super spacious. The room is dated decor but clean, comfortable and functional. No sign of pests. Up the road and a walking distance from us was some shopping and good restaurants. We would stay here again. Front desk staff were very helpful. We rented some beach chairs, snorkel sets and umbrellas that were very handy from the shop onsite.

The property and rooms are old and outdated. Pool was closed for renovation

Hot tubs and BBQ grills.

Everything was great. The pool was nice. The condo was big and spacious. The only thing that was annoying was one of the employees in the check in office wouldn’t give us pool towel on our last day. My flight didn’t leave until 10pm. So we left our luggage at the resort. We were going to enjoy the pool until we were leaving for the airport. But the employee said no we can’t give you towels. This is something we don’t do. Everything was great until that. Kind of gave me a bad taste in my mouth on our way out.

I was alerted through text after I checked in that quiet pools were close due to renovations. I would’ve preferred to know this before I booked. The only pool open was near the lobby at the bottom of the property. This was unfortunate because my room was right above a quiet pool which was not very quiet. The renovations went on all day and it was very loud. They were also cutting down trees outside our room. If I had known this before I wouldn’t have booked during this time.

So amazing. Location was great. The property has multiple pools and hot tubs and tennis courts, volleyball courts, playground, a restaurant, a place you can rent beach gear, and more. The apartment had a large l, full sized appliance, furnished kitchen with a blender, coffee maker, and washer and dryer. Dining table, nice living area, large balcony. One room had two full beds. A common bath. The primary bedroom had a king bed with different pillow options and a large en suite with a two person deep tub and large walk-in shower. There’s a good size closet and vanity area also. Both bedrooms have large TVs.

Locate in convenient location, easy access to highway. Staffs are very nice and kind. However, found lots of cockroaches in the kitchen :-( we couldn’t leave any food out, everything must be on the fridge. We also have to wash all plates and pots before and after used due to roaches problem. Otherwise, I would come back again.

Upon arrival the condo was filled with the smell of urine. Dog? (Feces in grass along walk way.) Multiple spots in the kitchen also had cockroach dropping. There's was a roach in the shower and soap residue that wasn't cleaned. The other bathroom had mold on the ceiling, grout and on top of the decorative cubed shower wall. Will spend a little more next time somewhere more clean.

The pool was nice and the sorrounding is safe. But the condo was terrible the carpet was dirty . The tile floor was so rusty the bedroom was dusty around the bed frame around it.

ROACHES. We have stayed in many hotels in the Hawaiian islands, this is the first one that had a crazy roach problem. We stayed in building 28 room 102, and upon checkin we saw little roaches. Advised front desk, and they said they would send maintenance the next day. We were gone 12 hrs the next day, came back to find the back glass sliding door open and curtains open, ANYONE could have come in as they had unlocked and left the first floor patio door open (it's open to the grass common area). I was very concerned w security after this. Thank goodness nothing was stolen. Even tho they said maintenance had come, for the next two days we saw a bunch of roaches, and my husband had to squash them all. I was SO WORRIED about packing a roach in my luggage and transferring them to another bottle or even bringing them home, how awful!!!

Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Price Our stay at Kona Coast Resort was unfortunately far from relaxing. We encountered a severe pest issue—cockroaches coming out from multiple places in the room, along with centipedes, worms, and constant mosquito bites. This made it very uncomfortable, especially for a property that’s marketed as a resort. One of the pools was closed during our stay, and the other was poorly maintained with bugs in both the pool and Jacuzzi. This was a major letdown for our vacation. I reported the cockroach issue to the front desk, and while they initially said they would send someone to spray, no one ever came. Upon following up, I was told we could be moved to another room, but it was only available upstairs with no elevator—despite the fact we had requested a ground-floor room in advance. I asked again for a downstairs room and was told none were available, yet during our time walking around the resort, we saw multiple unoccupied rooms. It felt like those who book through third-party sites like Expedia are placed in the least desirable locations, far from the main amenities. The only positive note was the prompt response from housekeeping. Any time we requested extra towels or linens, they were delivered quickly and followed up with a call to confirm we received them.

The property is really nice. The place I stayed was dirty. I saw a cockroach

Clean large condo, a little dated but everything worked fine, liked having a safe in unit. All staff was wonderful. I’d definitely stay here again.

Nice room with great space. Beds very comfortable. But…There were cockroaches in the room. Probably normal for the area as there were a lot outside. The unit had dead cockroaches behind the furniture. It seems there may be a chemical used. As I read other reviews this seems to be a trend.

部屋が広く、キッチンや洗濯機などの設備も問題なかったです ただ、プールに小さい虫の死骸がいっぱい浮いていて、それを網で救うなどして欲しかったです それ以外は大変満足しました

The room is very clean, you can do the laundry in the room, convenient location. We had very pleasant stay.

I think the room and amenities itself was okay. The bed was comfortable and it was relatively clean and spacious. Staff was friendly. However, the people upstairs were extremely loud and heavy footed, it sounded like they were stomping around for hours. I brought it up to the front desk and they said we could call security after 10pm. Another thing was that it was not mentioned this is a timeshare property and so we were haggled to do the timeshare presentation with promises of "gifts". 90 minutes was far too long to sit there and listen when you are on vacation, no matter what the gift was. Anyway, I am not sure if I would stay here again because of that fact but the room itself was decent.

We stayed in a spacious one-bedroom unit that had a full dining table, comfortable king bed, a fully appointed kitchen, and a large patio. The grounds of the resort are beautiful, and we really enjoyed the large pool. The WiFi wasn’t the best and there’s only one very small beach in the vicinity (but Kona has a rocky shore everywhere), but if you’re looking for a comfortable resort to relax at, this one fits the bill. We would definitely stay here again.

The only downside is the neighbors on the upper floor who can be heard walking around very loudly.

huge property 2 bedroom but very spacious.

Better than expected. Huge room. Good price.

Room was spacious with lots of amenities. The Spectrum tv remotes however were very difficult, non-intuitive - in short an abomination to use. Gave up trying many times. Property was well kept up and very attractive. Great view of ocean but a golf course (private property) was between resort property and ocean :(

Amazing room - huge space, great balcony, kitchen stuff needed for mornings, washer/dryer if needed. Property was great - people so helpful, bar & food by the pool and great staff for activities if you need it. Location was great for day trips l over the island. We went for day trips to black & green sand beaches, volcano national park for the day, Mauna Kea visitor center /hikes!! Great 4 day trip location & rent a car so worth it. Plenty of food spots to eat - parking is expensive in downtown Kona. Look for lots where the scan code has the restaurant you are going to and ask for validation to reduce costs of parking!!!

Units were very spacious and well equipped.

The rooms are spacious and clean. We were in a great location to visit the surrounding sites.

The room was a little dated and the walls were thin.

The property was beautiful and well kept. It had more of an apartment feel than I expected and almost seemed like some people live there full time. We had 1 issue with someone blasting music from their vehicle with the doors open late at night. The activities desk will try and talk you into a timeshare presentation, disguised as a "20 minute tour" for $100. You'll lose minimum 2 hours of your vacation time. Don't fall for that unless you're into that sort of thing. Overall inexpensive for being in hawaii and a great option when you dont plan to spend a lot of time in your room. On site pool is really nice, restaurant is not very good. Staff are responsive to anything you need and you can rent anything you'd need for the beach at a shop near the pool.

Hotel concierge straight-up scamming guests Hotel concierge straight-up scamming guests Don’t sign up for their “free tour” — it’s an outright scam! They slip a $40 “refundable” deposit onto your card without telling you, then force you to visit the tour center in person (during limited hours) just to get your money back.

I expected a little more from the staff activity dept. I tried calling for about two weeks before our trip to ask about activities and things to do. I left many voicemails. Texted and called guest services about connecting with no success. I think if we would have had more activities planned our trip would not have been as boring as it was. Guest service staff could have just walked around the corner to Activities and asked why they weren’t answering their phone. They never looked very busy the times I saw them. I was just very disappointed.

Arrivée difficile : la réception se trompe de chambre. Nous avons dû retourner à la réception pour récupérer les bonnes clés. Une fois arrivée dans notre chambre, nous découvrons un cafard dans la cuisine qui s’est échappé dans la partie salon de l’appartement. Nous sommes retournés à la réception pour indiquer cela avec photo à l’appui et nous avons été changé de chambre. L’arrivée a donc été très difficile et à ce moment-là, les employés ne semblait pas surpris. Les employés nous ont proposé gracieusement à nos grd avec une vie sur l’océan. La chambre était correcte. Nous avons cependant au bout de deux jours, trouver un cafard cette fois-ci mort dans la cuisine. On résumé établissement décevant et pas à la hauteur au vu du prix payé.

We had an excellent stay. The staff was friendly and very helpful with anything we needed.

Everything was great. The pool was nice. The condo was big and spacious. The only thing that was annoying was one of the employees in the check in office wouldn’t give us pool towel on our last day.

This is something we don’t do. Everything was great until that. Kind of gave me a bad taste in my mouth on our way out.

Great customer service. Caleb made our stay a very nice experience. We got the room we asked for. It was great. Thank you so much for everything and providing outstanding service young man. Definitely we will be staying there in the future. Great place, very quiet and clean. Kudos to the staff.

Scam, they trick you into signing up for a timeshare sales meeting, and take a deposit. Not at all what I expected on a checkin

The staff was super helpful. And quick to have things fixed when problems are brought up.

Kona Coast Resort was a perfect stay for my wife and I - staff here are amazing. A nice location slightly out of the Kona thoroughfare. Great sized rooms & fully equipped kitchen. Not associated with the resort itself, however as a word of warning if staying here, unless you want to buy into a timeshare, don't sign up with the activities desk for a 'short presentation' to unlock discounted activity rates.

We’ve stayed at Kona Coast resort several times. Beautiful property and spacious rooms. No beach but nice pools and amenities. Close to a shopping center with several restaurants and a grocery store - easy walk. Just a few miles to beaches and downtown Kona. recommend!

Close to the snorkeling areas.

My wife and I stayed at this resort after the rest of our family returned home and we spent a couple of days by ourselves. The suite was spacious, clean, well stocked and comfortable. We had a beautiful view of the ocean, ideally optimized for sunset. There is no direct access to the Shoreline from the resort, but the shoreline at this location is fairly rocky and inhospitable. It has easy access to beaches and snorkeling sites just to the north. we would stay here again if we return to Kona.

Convenient for every thing I love the installation The only thing i didn’t like was No access to the beach

We enjoyed our stay at the resort. There were lots of restaurants close by and a beach you could walk to. It was a laid back atmosphere and quiet. Everyone there was friendly and helpful. The pools were a great place to relax also.

Too far from town.

Location is on the edge of town so it is less busy, also has less amenities. The rooms are starting to show some age and are a bit dated. The AC is not on until you get in your room and turn it on, and it takes about 2 hours to cool down. Beds are very comfortable, has full kitchen and laundry in the room. Great bang for the buck staying here. I did not us any amenities, so i can't comment on those.

This property was great and had everything that we needed. There was shopping across the street, plenty of parking, and best of all was the ability to cook meals and do our laundry. Our stay at the Kona Coast was convenient for us to get to the island destinations on our itinerary and was a great “home base”. We would stay here again when visiting Hawaii.

Spacious and clean property. Shopping very close by. Freeway access within minutes. Really nice.

Property was clean. The food was not very good.

The property was nice. The staff were friendly. We never used the main pool partly because you couldn’t take your own drinks (and I believe food) into the pool, so if you wanted to enjoy a beer by the pool, you were forced into a $9 beer plus a tip. I thought that was too much on the side of profit rather than showing the guests a good relaxing time by the pool. There was a grocery store and a Longs Drugs not far, so that was good. The property is way on the south side of Kona, and the beaches are way on the north, so I found the location to be too far from the beaches. Every day was a long drive. But as far as the room and the staff, it was great!

Really large Condo property with everything you need to not waste a lot of $ dining out everyday. There was even a washer and dryer and kitchen had all utensils, dishes, fridge, oven, microwave. I would probably update the carpet to hard wood floor and the tub was huge but hard to get out of. Only thing we hated was the food at the bar. Drinks were great but I would not order any food, worst we’ve had in our years of travel. They need to redo the whole food situation asap!

Beautiful place, great amenities, very good staff, really nice room if I had one negative it would be bar food it was nice but would be good if you could get something a little less fried.

We would definitely love to come back to this resort the next time we are on the big island. The resort is very beautiful and very clean. The kitchen is stocked with everything that you could possibly need, and all of the glasses, including the wine, glasses are sparkling clean. There was enough towels inside of the spacious bathrooms, and the bathrooms were so big. They were almost the size of a bedroom in the master bath. The beds were very comfortable and slept well. The balcony also had an extra large table on it as well as the kitchen for dining. The entire suite that we had was very clean. The pool was clean and quiet. We enjoyed having drinks and we enjoyed the food at the bar. All of the staff were very friendly. We have no complaints at all. If I could make one critique, I would want a ping-pong table. Otherwise, this is an excellent stay, we will definitely come back. The photos on Expedia, do not do this place justice. The grounds, the rooms, the bedroom and bath are all very clean and beautiful.

Clean friendly great food and activities

Wish food or already breakfast would’ve been included
