“Condo close to Volcano”

This condo community is a little isolated (sine it is near Volcano National Monument) and could use some updating. But if you don't mind a little (ok, more than a little) 80s decor and a drive to the nearest anything, this is a good home base to see the South side of the Big Island. Close to one of the best black sand beaches on the island. Some units have a great view but the water is not close enough for an easy walk. The South side of the island can be very windy (unlike Kona) so no need for AC but there were bugs so keep those screen doors shut!

“Big Island Bargain”

Anyone traveling to the Volcano National Park and planning to spend a few nights in the area, the Colony I is the place to stay. The park is only a 25 minute drive from the resort. The resorts location is warmer at night and has less rain than Volcano Village where we stayed a few years ago. The units are clean and private. Many of them have ocean views or golf views. Everyone should take a drive of about five city blocks at night to the black sand beach. The number of stars, the milkyway and the meteors are amazing. There is one drawback of the whole Volcano Park area. The number of restaurants are limited. So, as another reviewer commented, bring in at least enough groceries to cook your own breakfast.

“A colony to remember”

Colony I At the Sea is a well maintained, quiet place to enjoy the beauty of Hawaii. I would recommend it for people who like to be a way from the center of things. The people were helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. We would go back in a heartbeat.

“Quiet, peaceful, beautiful surroundings, isolated”

Great place near the ocean to get away from the hustle and bustle and tourist stuff. Could use a bigger TV and more comfortable chairs. Very relaxing atmosphere with lots of things to explore withing walking distance-black sand beach, turtles, local shrines, rocky beaches, jungle type roads, etc.

“Amazing location”

My wife and I stayed here for the better part of a week and we had very few complaints. There is a supermarket only 10 minutes away to stock the kitchen. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is also some 25 minutes away. The perfect place to stay in the middle of nowhere without lots of tourists!

“Good deal”

Well maintained condo with balcony near black sand beach frequented by green turtles.

“Nice and Quiet”

As long as you like a quiet out of the way place with no shopping or night life then this is a great place (that is what we wanted). I would go back again and probably will.
