We had a very nice stay here for 10 days and found the unit to have everything we needed. It was clean, neat and nicely appointed. Directions were good, and accessing the unit was easy.
The view from the deck and proximity of crashing waves are awesome!! And the (3) pools and hot tubs were nicely maintained and enjoyable to use. The surrounding tropical grounds made me know I was in Hawaii, despite the barren, volcanic landscape along the highway getting there!
The location is good and central for visiting all the different communities and climates on the island (and the volcano) and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a condominium accommodation. However, if most of your activities (like golf) are centralized along the northwest coast line, being north of the airport would reduce the daily trips up the highway.

We rented the Kona Bliss condo at Kanaloa at Kona from March 7-14, 2012. It is a one bedroom and two bath unit. This is the fourth time we have rented at Kanaloa but the first time we have rented this unit. The condo is very nicely furnished and complete with new appliances including a front load washer/dryer. It was very clean.
Many thanks to Debra!

We had a great time here, the condo was great, very well equipped kitchen! View from the lanai was very good also. The oceanside pool is just splendid, I could have spent the entire vacation there.
The condo is close enough to a couple restaurants and grocery store that you can easily walk if you choose. Market up the hill by KTa on saturday's was awesome also.

Debra,
Your oondo was absolutely beautiful and had everything that we needed. We have never stayed at such a clean and tidy place. The amenities were endless; you thought of everything. We had breakfast every morning on the lanai overlooking the ocean...what a beautiful way to start our day. This was week one of our two week honeymoon and we wish we would have spent the full two weeks with you. The resort was great as well; very quiet with beautiful pools. Thanks for making our honeymoon so special. We will definitely come back to you when we visit the Big Island again!!

My husband and I stayed in unit 2104 at the Kanaloa at Kona for 2 weeks. We wish we could have stayed a lot longer. The condo was wonderful, clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated with an island flair, and superbly stocked. The lanai (deck) off the living area faced the rocky ocean front and was wonderful to eat, relax, read or just visit on. The resort was beautiful and we loved the location a little out of town, and quiet. We definitly would like to come again.

Love the unit..our 2nd time there. Views are great and sun sets are awesome in December. Well stocked unit. Wish were still there as having torrental rains in SoCal! Will stay there again.
Only issue is noise from upstairs in # 2106...for first 4 days there were 6 adults upstairs, very talkative foreigners, scraping deck chairs constantly, and up at 5 am stomping the floors. We called Kema and front desk to report. After 2-day respite, 2 young couples moved in and while we expected the worse, were surprising okay on noise. We love Kanaloa complex after many years saying there.

Conot 2104 is an outstanding unit. Wonderful experience watching the ocean waves hit the rocks . Enjoyed the condo so much we did not go out as much as we first intended. The tile work in the entry, kitchen, and bathrooms of the condo is expectional. This unit is very well maintained and and contains everything you need for a great vacation. I would reccomend it to anyone who wanted to stay in the Kona area. Very beautiful grounds and three beautiful swimming pools that we really enjoyed.
Would definitely stay here again when we return to the Big Island!! If you can use a one bedroom unit with a couch that becomes a bed, this is a great unit to stay in. Especially enjoyed the Lani offf the living room!

when I pay a lot of money, I do expect a little bit of luxury. This is a lovely condo, the location isn't bad, the washer and dryer are a nice convenience, the bed is comfortable, but honestly speaking, it could use a bit of up dating. The noise from above was really annoying. Every footstep is audible, and there were many footsteps. The sliding door to the ocean facing lanai sticks and is difficult to open .We have friends who stayed at another condo complex for quite a bit less money and their units were much more up to date and much classier, and considerably less money - also, larger. This unit is nice enough, but it is not the luxury unit I thought I was getting. A.motorcycle group came in for a few days during our stay, and while I realize they were not trying to be loud, the noise from their bikes was quite obnoxious while they came in and out and worked on repairing and tuning their bikes. All in all, bottom line, I was disappointed and felt like I overspent on our accomodations.

Manager response:
“
Thank you for your feedback and Im truly sorry your stay at my condo was disappointing; we strive to provide our guests with a pleasant and memorable experience in paradise. <br />
<br />
I do not think the presentation of the condo on the website is misleading - Alohacondos.com goes to great lengths to accurately portray our units with numerous photos of every room from every possible angle, so I am quite puzzled as to what you were expecting as far as decor and size. I do understand your concern about the lanai doors, I am having them replaced but it is taking longer than I would have hoped. On the noise issues, a phone call to me, to the front desk, to security, or my property manager could have re-mediated the noise from upstairs.<br />
<br />
Motorcycles over the holiday weekends do happen and unfortunately I have no control over other guests staying at the complex.<br />

Aloha,<br />

We wanted to stay at Kanaloa at Kona because of a relative's wedding and other family members were staying there but renting from office. I didn't like the reviews I read about the renting from the office so I found this condo owned by a private owner. It was great to see the pictures before renting and everything was just as promised. It was a wonderful stay and if I have the opportunity to travel to Kona again, I would rent again.

For our honeymoon, we wanted to stay on the water and figured that we would have to make huge sacrifices to be able to afford the location. The minute we walked into our Condo at Kanaloa at Kona, we knew we were going to have a great time. Everything was beyond our expectations from the outdoor seating on both ends (with one overlooking the ocean), to the first-class kitchen (fully stocked) and huge master bedroom with it's own private bath. What really made it special was the little touches like the flowers in the bathrooms, the Hawaiian and Classical music in the CD player and, of course, the beach gear outside. We had the most romantic, magical honeymoon during our stay here.

2104 has a excellent location with a outstanding view of waves crashing onto lava rock directly in front of the ocean side lanai.
Very tastefully decorated, the best of all the condos we have ever rented.
Everything you could possible need in cookware is provided in great quality.
Highly recommended. Great two week stay. Wish this owner had rentals on other islands.
The grounds and pools are in perfect condition.

We had a wonderful time. The condo was all it was advertised to be, and very convenient, both to things we needed and from things we didn't want (eg Ali'i strip.) We found the 2 bagged chairs broken but still 'sand' usable. One umbrella was totally broken. We added 2 beach roll-ups and a small cooler to the outside storage. If/when we are able to return this is certainly where we would want to stay. Thanks.

We loved the condo. It was tastefully furnished and decorated. It was also very well equipped. Both bathrooms and kitchen were nicely renovated (except maybe for the cupboards which needed to be refreshed on the inside). Everything worked very well. When the BDR TV didn't, mamagement was quick to try to fix it and soon enough we got a brand new TV. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. The people around, staff and guests are friendly and relaxed. It was a little noisy at times: maintenance crew in the morning and people upstairs at night. However, there's a lot to do on BIG ISLAND and we went out often. We did have to drive to get to most places though. There is a supermarket, bank, post office and a few restaurants 5 minutes away. Overall, we loved our experience there and we highly recommend this condo. We hope we can come back someday.

The Kona Bliss condo has everything you could want. It's got a perfect ocean front location that's got the world's best sunset views, is well appointed, has big rooms and generous lanai and has everything you'd ever need. The complex is well located and the pools and BBQs are great. The owner went above and beyond to make sure we had directions and instructions for our arrival. It's nearly perfect.
So why not 5 stars? Noise. This is not a top floor condo and you hear just about every footfall upstairs. Admittedly we were there when probably the least considerate people on Earth were upstairs. There was a large group, including at least two kids who ran constantly all day. We were pretty sure the hall mirror would come off its hanger at some point. There was no way to enjoy the vacation holy grail - an afternoon nap. When more reasonable people came at the end of our stay, it was far better. Maybe it was bad luck for us, but you are at the mercy of your neighbors. Too bad, because we'd love to love this place but just can't.

My wife and I visited the Big Island to celbrate our 40th Wedding anniversary. Our unit was spacious, up to date, clean and really worked well for us. It was nice having two bathrooms. We only used the ocean side lanai, even though there was on off of the bedroom, as well.
We especially liked the pools, but, unfortunately, the restuarant at the main pool was closed - a victim of the economy. We were within a short distance to a shopping center, where we stocked up on provisions. Also, we visited the nearby Outrigger to eat have a Mai Tai in the Veranda (recommended) and the Country Club (we did not play golf, but there are two great golf courses there.
We drove down Alii Drive and looked at all of the other places that we were considering and were so glad that we paid just a few dollars a night more the the condo at Konaloa. We would gladly return.

My husband and I just returned home from 11 days in this lovely condo. The condo was well stocked with all the beach essentials--towels, chairs, and umbrellas (my personal favorite!). The condo was as pictured. The view from the deck was fantastic--very beautiful. Also, we loved the shower. There were only a few downsides. Primarily, the walls of the condo are very thin and for most of our stay we had VERY noisy neighbors. It literally sounded like someone was running on a treadmill in the unit above ours almost every night between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. It was almost unbelievable. Unfortunately, we slept through the night only 2 of the 11 nights in Kona. The only other point worth mentioning, we did find two cockroaches in the kitchen during our stay, even though we were diligent about taking out the trash. All in all it was a great condo, and if the neighbors were quiet, it would have been pretty close to perfect.
As for location, we found that we preferred the north end of the island and most days drove the 35 minutes north to the nicer beaches in that area. I think our next visit we will stay up that way, were the skies are a little clearer and there is a breeze. Loved the island though, can't wait to go back.

My wife and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary by spending 11 days in this condo. This was our first visit to the Big Island and the condo and island far exceeded our expectations.
This condo is beautifully decorated and is in an excellent location. We really enjoyed constantly hearing waves crashing into the lava rocks just a few feet from our lanai. This unit is very close to a BBQ and the pool next to the ocean.
A shopping center is only a few minutes away which has a supermarket and some excellent restaurants. The best snorkeling I have experienced is only a 5 minute drive and the center of Kona, where we have many excellent dinners, is only 15 minutes away.
We highly recommend staying in this condo and will definetly be back.
