We like it here as we have been here 4 times in last 20 years.Each time we have had an ocean front .Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen and 2 bathrooms.It is plenty of room for 2 people.It is centrally located and quiet. We enjoy the view, hot tub and good sized swimming pool.The elevator was upgraded and very modern.Barbecue grills are readily available.No swimmings but turtles come by on the lava rocks.We do wish they would add adult hours to the pool schedule.

We booked our trip thru Costco Travel. Central location, nice pool area with hot tub jacuzzi. Plenty of lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas with a view of the ocean. 3 gas BBQ for cooking while enjoying the ocean. Our unit is one bedroom with 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, nice dining and living area and a comfy lanai with 1 lounge chair, 2 high back seats and 2 more with a table plus a ceiling fan overlooking the ocean. The stack washer/dryer were very useful and daily maid service for the condo was so nice. Bench in entry for shoes and sitting. Pool towels issued. We did have some problems getting the PS3 to play BR movies as it needed updating and better user instructions. Staff have been helpful and friendly ( office, hskping and MAINT) during all conversations. Parking can be underground or outside lot, permit issued. Swipe cards used for doors everywhere for security which is good. Enjoying our stay!!!

Our stay at Aston Kona by the Sea was excellent! The location is close to so many attractions (multiple beaches just down the road). Our lanai had a beautiful view of the ocean, and we loved all the space for our family of four. For the price, I couldn’t believe we had a gorgeous master suite that opened onto the lanai and the separate room for our kids with twin beds. The full kitchen and living room were also great. They also had a nice pool, hot tub, and garage parking, which were all good. I only wish we could’ve stayed longer to take more advantage of the free movie rental and grills. As an added bonus, the staff took care of our luggage on our check out day since our flight didn’t leave until 9:30 PM. It was really nice not to have to take our luggage all around as we explored on our last day.

Twenty-six years after our initial visit to Kona by the Sea, we were delighted to stay here again on our recent trip to the Big Island. My three sisters and I stayed here for 3 nights before moving on to Hilo and came back to Aston Kona by the Sea for our final two nights. We had a 2 bed/2 bath condo which provided us with plenty of space. Both units were clean and comfortable. We loved the large balcony with chairs and a table where we could enjoy both sunrise and sunset. This complex is just the right size to provide all the amenities without feeling crowded. We used the pool and jet spa several times and only a few other people were in the area. We appreciated the free parking, good internet, and sufficient pool towels. We brought pictures from our first stay and we can tell that the pool and spa area as well as each unit has been updated to a high standard. Our most vivid memory was of an earthquake that we felt in the middle of the night in 1993, and as fate would have it, we felt the 5.5 quake in the early morning of March 13th. Good memories! I hope we don't have to wait another 26 years before our next visit and we highly recommend the Aston Kona by the Sea for its great location and value for money.

My Wife & I and our 12 year old Daughter stayed in apartment 210 for 7 nights the week before xmas 2018. We chose this Hotel mainly due to the fact it has full Kitchen facilities, we did eat out quite a bit but it's nice to have the flexibility to cook breakfast or lunch if you are having a lazy day in. The Apartment was very clean and has everything you need for a wonderful Holiday, the views from the "Ocean view apartments" are 10/10 staff were very Friendly and helpful the whole experience was great. Price I thought was very reasonable considering you do have the Kitchen facilities you are not forced to spend Hundreds of Dollars to eat out if you don't choose to. The Hotel is only a short drive from the main centre of Kona, I highly recommend this Hotel we will be staying here in the Future.
