Another wonderful stay at Hale Mermaid in Kolea in the Waikoloa Resort. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this condo. One of our favorites in Waikoloa and so far our favorite complex we've stayed at in Waikoloa. It has easy access to the beach and you can walk to dinner at many local restaurants. We also love Waikoloa because it is easy to go out your door and go for a walk with all the sidewalks, and its close to shopping and groceries. The condo itself was immaculate and has all the amenities we needed, and you could cook a feast at this condo and enjoy it on the lanai. The pool area is quite nice and you are provided with a towel while there. Our hosts were great with communicating with us and we did not have any problems. We would definitely stay again!

Your thoughtful review provides a wonderful overview of our spacious penthouse condo as well as of the fabulous Kolea Resort...just steps to the Kolea Beach Club, infinity pool, luxurious hot tub, and to 'toes in the sand' at A-Bay. Kings' & Queens' Marketplaces with numerous restaurants, entertainment and shopping are all walking distance convenient. As hosts, we strive to have our condo comfortable and well-stocked for guests' full vacation enjoyment. Fyi: We are actively involved hosts and are actually staying in the condo now... refreshing some things...enjoying the large lanai, the birds and the view of A-Bay.

We just returned from a week at this property and it was a perfect fit for our family for the week. The location is wonderful - walking distance to the beach and lava lava and the shops and a short commute to the various activities we had booked. The pool and hot tub were beautiful with wonderful views. And the sunsets were simply incredible (I commented multiple times that it felt like we were living in a post card!)We are already thinking about another stay in Kolea!

Aloha Steven and family What a nice review! We thank you. Yes, this penthouse, end-unit is the largest 2 BR floor plan at Kolea, and with our unit being on the 3rd floor, [building has an elevator], the vaulted ceiling adds to the feeling of spaciousness. So glad you enjoyed your vacation. We do hope that your future travel plans bring you back for a return stay with us. The location and amenities at Kolea are great -- as you mentioned. Walking distance to the nearby restaurants, shops and most importantly: the beach at A-Bay -- a mere 6 minutes from our condo's front door. Super close. FYI -- we also are the hosts at 2 other nearby resorts: Hali'i Kai [3BR 3BA] [on the north side of the Hilton] and also at Mauna Lani Villages, [3BR 3.5 BA Villa home] near the Shoppes. All 3 of our properties are maintained to a high standard for the comfort of our guests. Please feel free to share our information with your traveling friends. We look forward to welcoming you back.

My husband, Steve, and I have been coming to Hawaii for years and also own #7F at the nearby Hali'i Kai Resort and #619 at the Villages at Mauna Lani.

We have timeshares on Kaanapali Coast - Westin North on Maui and at the Poipu Marriott Beach Resort on Kauai.
Yet, the 'wow factor' hit us when we saw the beautiful Hali'i Kai property. We came to Waikoala Beach Resort in February 2012 to attend a destination wedding. We saw the 'Open House' signs at Hali'i Kai, visited and purchased our dream home on The Big Island.
We invite you to be our guests.

Midwestern natives: we live in Geneva, IL {west suburban Chicago} and spend time at our Michigan lakefront home. We love the water and the relaxing atmosphere.
Enjoy all that you do!
Regards - Aloha.
Maryanne & Steve
