Reviews

We had a wonderful family stay at Kona Hale Pili. The ocean views were beautiful, the home was well equipped with snorkel gear, fins, boogie boards, and other beach essentials, and the welcome package was a thoughtful touch. The hosts were responsive and helpful, and we loved being able to walk to the friendly surf break at Kahaluʻu Bay. Highly recommended!
