The condos were beautiful inside and out. I liked the flavored coffee creamers left the coffee and tea. We were a bit disappointed that the pool was closed and we had to walk down to a nearby condo pool. It would have been nice to of known this before booking or before the trip. It was also very hard to find anybody on the property that worked there.The management office was always empty.We were supposed to get the pool code from them and it took a while to get through to someone on the phone. A few more garbage bags in the unit would have also been useful. I would stay here again though. Was about a 15 minute walk to the Kings Shops and Queens marketplace.

The Shores at Waikoloa is in a great location: close to ocean, restaurants and shopping. Our condo suite had excellent views of all four mountains on the Big Island. This third-floor condo has a large balcony with comfortable furniture on which to view the mountains and volcanoes. The property is quiet and walkable. The neighborhood is easy to walk around and includes sidewalks and bike lanes. The property is one of the older projects in Waikoloa, so our unit's furnishings cabinets and floors are dated. Remodeling was only partial. But, the rooms are spacious and the appliances and fixtures worked well. We had everything we needed.

Harrassed by owners of units
Our stay was absolutely awful. We were confronted and interrogated by owners of other units at the Aston Waikoloa Shores. These owners took pictures of our ohana and proceeded to video us at the pool. Our children were apporached anf questioned by multiple owners at the Aston Waikoloa Shores which left our children frightened and alarmed. We asked mutiple times to be left alone by these owners (I will refrain from providing the unit #s of which these owners are from. Our unit had no rumning water the first day. Washer and dryer were not operable for the entire stay. There were bugs and droppings in our bedding sheets and we had no other sheets to use. The tub was not able to be used as it wad infested with ants. Our ceiling leaked in the kitchen and the furniture where smelly and completely worn. The entrance to the unit walkway was covered in leaves and dirt. Overall the harrassment and discriminatory remarks made against us "nothing but a bunch of locals" coupled with the extreme poor condition of the units we contacted the management dept. and are requesting to be compensated 100% of our stay. Sorry, but this is the truth. I will refrain from adding pictures.

Terrible check in experience.
Despite my efforts to communicate with the property manager prior to our arrival I didn't receive the entry gate code or the key box code. We spent about three hours outside the gate in near complete darkness, made numerous calls and finally got to the condo around 1 AM. It was very frustrating and exhausting.

Below expectations
After 20+ years of renting at Waikoloa(multiple locations) this was the least satisfactory. To begin, we had difficulty locating the rental management (Aston) for check in. When we arrived at the unit we found it was not that clean. There was a used bandaid in the shower, a lot of dust in various locations, and some of the dish’s had not been cleaned. There was coffee residue on some of the coffee cups. The place is not that well equipped, no spatula, cork screw broken, old frying pan that was hard to clean. The supplied paper products were of the poorest quality. The TV set requires several steps to turn it on but Aston services came over to help us with it.

We liked our condo
The location, views, size of rooms, and pool are great. Restrooms were nice, kitchen was ok (dishwasher soap dispenser didn’t work properly) although the appliances were dated. The beds are the low point, very creaky (old) and our backs were a little sore after. Could have used more pots and pans. Staff is really nice, and the price was right, overall we’d go back.

No housekeeping services. No communication with property management. Poor experience.
Property was relatively clean, but the lack of housekeeping services is a major knock. Not once did anyone from property management contact me to see how my stay was and I was never offered clean linens for a two stay! For the cost, I would not recommend this property.

the property and the surrounding area was very nice,
got to the unit a little confused on finding the place, would be nice if you added Sandalwood/Banyon etc...there were no dish towels or dish wash rags or sponges to clean up dishes. the remote on the tv/satelitte was a little confusing but finally got it to work. Loved the lanai and pool area, great view. thanks, John/Claudia

Nice staff but .....
There was a very loud noise inbetween the two bedrooms starting at 5:30 am intermittently throughout the day. Staff tried but were not able to figure the cause and correct the problem. There route to the pool was double in length due to a footbridge that was in disrepair and there were mosquitos at poolside,... maybe due to a koi pond with brackish waters that could have used cleaning? To be fair, jam a mosquito magnet so they may not bother others

Dated and Noisy
We stayed in Unit 131. You can hear your upstairs neighbors moving about, but even worse is that you can hear the plumbing each time they flushed the toilet. The cleanliness was ok except that there was thick dusk collected at the top of the dining room chandelier that appeared it had not been cleaned for a long time. Amenities were sparse. Kitchen utensils were sufficient to cook a meal, but the unit only had one bar of soap for both sink and shower so we had to ask for more. Some aspects of the complex needed some work such as wear to signs and paint. Water pressure in the shower were ok. I found the bath towels to be "scratchy" and the bed was too soft for me. Complex had good proximity to shopping and market. You know how some units just invite you to stay and you enjoy spending time there? This was not one of those. Not offensive, but not inviting either.

I've place. Spacious unit. Too bad The Waikaloa srea doesn't have convenient bus services like Wailea/Kihei or Kaanapaali/Lahaina areas in Maui. One car isn't enough in Waikaloa if two people have different interests and it's not connected to the other resorts in the area. It was fun but too much wind (especially on the golf courses) and not a lot of charm in the area. Would stay in Aston Shores if we came back, but no plans of returning.
