RECENT REVIEWS

From Marian 01/10/09Hi Rita,

I just wanted to say thanks! We had a lot of fun on the Big Island and the condo was very nice. We enjoyed being so close to the beach, and even though it’s pretty touristy, it was really nice to be able to walk to lots of restaurants & shops (and the Atlantis sub – awesome kamaaina discount!). we thought the room and the lanai were clean & comfortable, and it was a good deal. We also got to drive up the Kohala coast, hike in Pololu, and snorkel in S. Kona and really enjoyed ourselves. We made good use of several of your restaurant recommendations, so thanks so much for that! It’s such a shame that there are hardly any restaurants on Oahu that you can even see the ocean, much less be right on it – so that was really fun for us in Kona. I will recommend your place to any of my friends who travel that way.Aloha,Marianthanks!

Steve Tokar Wed 2/25/09 10:24 PM

Dear Rita,This is just to let you know that we had a great time on the Big Island, thanks in large part to our stay in your unit at Kona Islander Inn.We found everything as promised: clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and homey. The mattress was firm, everything worked, and it was altogether luxurious to hang out on the lanai at the beginning and end of the day. We liked the way the unit is situated, facing the inner courtyard and the pool. We heard no traffic noise at all. We slept with the sliding door open every night. The staff was friendly and helpful. And all your advice on where to go, what to eat, and what to do was helpful too.We didn’t want to leave! We look forward to returning as soon as we can.Best,-Steve & Beth Tokar

Hi Rita, Kenny and I just got back from Hawaii a couple days ago and we wanted to thank you for letting us stay in unit 327 your place at the Kona Islander. It was a beautiful room, very clean and comfortable and great location. We didn’t have any problems and it had everything in it that we needed to get by for the week. Thanks again for everything!Terri and Kenny

From Deborah Davis Sent: Mon 9/22/08

Aloha Rita,

Thanks for your email and your condo room. It was very nice. I spent the first night in unit 211 a room not near as nice, with bright lights outside the patio window. It was not a good night of sleep. By noon the next day I was able to move your unit 335. That was a very nice experience, indeed. We would both stay there again.All the best to you in all your endeavors.

One in Peace and Aloha,Deborah Davis

To: Rita Roberts (northwind369@msn.com) Oh! yes Unit 319 was wonderful!!!!!!!this was my mothers fav. place and it was just perfect….I’ll keep you in mind the next time we or any of my friends visit….thanks again

Pleasantly Kona Islander Inn tomlin Naperville, Illinois Mar 22, 2008

“We planned to go to the Kona Brewers Fest and wanted a reasonably priced place within walking distance. After hearing the terrible reviews about the Kona Seaside and the King Kam, we did some research and found this property.We booked online directly with the owner, Rita who has 5 units at this location. The studio unit 334 was very clean, bright and cheery. We had a nice view of the pool, not oceanfront, but still OK. A small kitchenette with microwave, fridge coffee maker , dishes and silverware was provided. Very quiet at night even though there were two busy streets on both sides of the complex. This is a residential complex as well as vacation condos and everyone seems to be respectful of each other.Parking is a challenge here but there was always street parking available if we couldn’t find a spot in the lot. Almost everything is within walking distance anyway and we rarely took the car out. Have heard that some of the units here are not so nice, but we were fortunate to find this one.Some of our brewing friends were staying at the King Kam paying $109/night and said it was absolutely disgusting. They were all asking for discounts on their rooms. We will definitely return to the Kona Islander Inn again. At only $89/night + tax this was definitely a worthwhile bargain.” ****Traveler rating: 3.9 out of 4 stars

Gene and Mary G.Kailua-Kona: Kona Islander Inn: “Very Happy with Room 329

We just returned from a wonderful week in Kona (returned on October 24th, 2008) and stayed in Room 329.According to other reviews this is a hit and miss lodging, depending on the unit, because each unit is owned by individuals that may or may not keep their units clean and updated.All I can say is we were very happy with room 329 with an ocean-view the total cost INCLUDING taxes came to $662.00 for 7 nights, and it’s easy to visit all the great restaurants and great sunset watering holes in town quite easily by foot.For the value, you can’t beat it… There is no maid service (which is no big deal), but just be aware of that fact, keep the bed neat and the towels on the rack for the next day.Conclusion, we were happy with Room 329! The noise from the street was not as bad as some have described, as a matter of fact the sound of the ocean waves is the predominant (and peaceful) sound we heard.

Traveler rating:4 **** Kailua-Kona: Kona Islander Inn: “above average” July 19, 2008

My husband and I stayed in the pool view in room #327 and it was very clean and well kept. Its so nice to just walk out the front door in any direction and have it all at your finger tips. Its pretty small but who needs a lot of room. It fits a couple just fine.

Traveler rating:4**** Kailua-Kona: Kona Islander Inn: “Beautiful Kona” Jul 3, 2008

The Kona Islander Inn is a simple yet delightful hotel/apartment complex in Kailua-Kona. My wife and I have stayed there for several weeks while on vacation in Hawaii. The condos themselves are small and simple, but all are clean and have all the facilities we wanted. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. We rented our room from Rita Roberts over the internet and she set up the whole reservation for us in just a few minutes. She is also a wealthy of information about the Island, even helped us with our rental car and interisland flight info! Our stay in unit 319 was perfect! Quiet and tropical views of the ocean as well as the pool area from the private lanai. Very clean, and well equiped for our entire two week stay. We cooked most our meals and took advantage of the farmers market next door. We enjoyed the location being just a few minutes walk from the center of Kona and close to shops, a great ocean-side bar and the Wyland gallery of marine art. It is “our” vacation condo without all the problems of owning one! We look forward to going again.
