After years and numerous trips to Maui we decided to see what the Big Island had and were not disappointed.
The unit is spacious (OMG, the master bed & bath are AWESOME), there was enough room for us and our three grown kids. The unit has almost everything you would need, with a well appointed kitchen and a outdoor barbeque area that is top notch. The grounds around the community pool are beautiful and having the separate lap pool, which requires quiet, is a peaceful oasis as well.
Overall great, but our concerns were;
* Kitchen fridge... water dispenser did not work and that was discovered when water was leaking all over the floor (a tech was sent out but could not fix the issue)
* Upstairs twin beds... my two kids who stayed there said the mattresses were fair to good, with very little support and uncomfortable
* Old beach chairs... people come to Hawaii and expect to go to the beach, with the old and limited number of beach chairs left us wanting; there should be one chair for each guest (unit can support up to six people, only have four chairs)
* Beach towels... there were enough towels for the pool but not for the beach, I would expect at least one of each for each guest
I did read the comment about a smart TV and agreed, but I was more bothered by the size of TVs provided in each room. While they are functional, for the type of rental and cost I would expect larger TVs in each room.
