My husband and I stayed for at Kona Village for 9 days in January in the tree top hale. The resort is only a couple of years old, and feels fresh and new, although they still have some kinks to work out. I'm not sure I would stay here again. The grounds are stunning, probably the best part of the place! Located right on the beach, really incredible how close you are! We wore sandals all of the time and it’s worth noting sand will constantly get in your shoes, even at the restaurants. The whole resort feels very serene and private. We stayed in the tree top hale, which is a great value option (between the basic lagoon view and oceanfront view). There are only 5 tree top hales, and each one is centrally located in the resort, extremely close to the pool, but situated far enough back where it is quiet. It was super convenient and easy to walk to the beach and restaurants. The view from the lanai is incredibly peaceful and some of my favorite parts of the trip were spent lounging out there. The room itself is nicely designed and well appointed. Service is where Kona Village really fell short. There were a number of mistakes to our billing, found upon checkout. I read other reviews to take pictures of your receipts, and I'm so glad I did, as two meals were charged to our hale number that we never authorized!! We also requested a change to our reservation, and we had to talk to about 5 different people, some of them multiple times, over many hours, before the situation was resolved. This took up most of a day, and was super frustrating to say the least. There definitely is a major staffing problem and something to be aware of if you decide to visit. Staffing issues also showed up frequently at the restaurants. Many times there was only one waiter for the entire restaurant, and food took a painfully long time to arrive. Additionally, the food was overall lousy, with very few healthy options. To sum up, a beautiful resort, comfortable new rooms, but slow service and terrible food. Not sure I would stay there again.
