Kona Le'a Plantation Tours and Activities

Kona Reef is proof that even a spectacular oceanfront location can't make up for neglected accommodations and nonexistent management. The grounds are beautiful, and the views are incredible. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Our room appeared clean at first glance, but the bathroom exhaust fan didn't work, and mildew was visible along the ceiling near the shower. Worse, the bedroom AC smelled like mold every time we turned it on. Nothing says tropical paradise quite like questionable air quality. The furniture looked and felt like it had been rescued from the clearance bin at a thrift store. But the biggest failure was management. Guests are given a number to text for assistance, which would be great if anyone actually responded. They don't. Ever. Other guests confirmed they experienced the same frustration. Apparently, collecting payment is considerably easier than providing customer service. It's remarkable that a property with so much natural beauty can be operated with so little apparent care. The ocean does all the heavy lifting while management seems determined to do absolutely none. My advice? Admire Kona Reef from a distance and spend your money somewhere that actually values its guests

Everything was perfect
