Our choice of this Waikoloa Colony Villa (a unit in a condo development) was dictated my the fact that our grown daughter was attending an academic conference at the principal hotel at Waikoloa. As it turned out, we enjoyed it very much.
Here are the strengths:
1) Clean, roomy and up to date, with a well-outfitted kitchen.
2) Excellent air conditioning, a real plus during this summer's unprecedented heat wave.
3) The location, though not exceptionally close to the best beaches, was central. Every destination on the Kona side was within an easy drive.
4) The pool, which our granddaughter loved, was only steps away, as was the tennis court.
The principal weakness, and the only reason we didn't give the property a 5-star rating, is that there is no dedicated parking for this particular unit -- guests must jockey on a first-come basis to find a slot among the non-assigned spaces. As it happened, this was a problem only during our first day/night; nevertheless, upon our arrival there were no nearby slots available. In our party of five, we had two rental cars, neither of which could be parked near enough to make for easy unloading.
My impression is that the parking problem is sporadic, rather than ongoing for this unit, thus I would recommend it.
