This was the 2nd stay at the Kona Kai & it does not fail to please! Kona Kai is the best way to complete the tropical vacation and changes your fantasy into reality! The flora is authentic, actually, the biggest & most fragrant spider flowers I've ever seen- even in Hawaii! Geckos everywhere, sea shells, pagan tiki gods, attractive porch,... More

“Stay multiple nights to fully appreciate”

Reviewed 20 May 2013

This property is breathtaking . Having been to Kona on Hawaii's Big Island , I can attest to the authenticity of the landscaping. This indeed looks like Kona and like Kona, feels like Paradise. The efficiency units are so worth it and their location on Periwinkle Drive puts you in the heart of the shopping area ( such as it... More

“A place to relax during a very stressful time”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Excellent, amazing, words which barely describe my comfortable stay there for an extended period. We stayed in one of the suites with two queen size beds and a kitchenette. It was nice and quiet in the room at night. Brenda and her fella were absolutely fantastic, helping guests with all matters and making the place shine 200%. Our visit was... More

“Slice of Paradise!”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

Not only is Sanibel an amazing place to visit, but the Kona Kai is an amazing way to experience it. I arrived in late April for a friends wedding. We all stayed at the Kona Kai. They are somehow able to create an atmosphere that is open and intimate at the same time. The common areas are very inviting and... More

“Perfect Piece of Paradise”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

I stayed at Kona Kai at the end of April for a week. Let me say, the grounds and landscaping are exceptional. The plants are so lush and full. The pond, twinkling lights, and the pool were everything I hoped for and more. The location of Kona Kai is right next to a 7/11, within walking distance to a grocery... More

“Fun with friends!”

We stayed at the Kona Kai for my brother's wedding. It was perfect for the whole wedding party! Each couple had their own private "bungalow" with fridge, microwave, and porch area. It is such a perfect size that we were able to rent out the entire place just for ourselves! We grilled, swam, rode bikes, and explored the beautiful grounds.... More
