One of My Favorite Wyndham Timeshare Resorts!

One of My Favorite Wyndham Timeshare Resorts!

Formerly the Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Village, this resort is just on the edge of the village of Kailua-Kona, and generally within walking distance of the restaurants and shops along the wonderful views of the bay. This is also the bay where many of the large cruise ships come in to disembark passengers 50 at a time to come ashore for luaus, circle island tours and shopping.

The resort does not provide much of a view of the water, although some do have a slight peek through trees to the water. It is on a rather steep incline, but I found the units towards the back, that are higher up have even less of a view. These are the newer buildings and have been built entirely too close to one another in my opinion.

We were in unit 55B which is a lower, and the lesser quality construction of this newer unit was noticeable as compared to my last visit here in unit 14B in the original section of the resort which was built by another developer before Fairfield/Wyndham acquired the property. We could hear the people in the unit above us sneezing; the floor construction was so thin.

One of the improvements since the acquisition however was the wonderful second pool. We spend several of our early mornings out there taking in the morning rays, since there were a lot of clouds that rolled in by midday (typically by 12:00noon). The pool is a nice size and has full sun for those who want that. There are very comfy chaise lounges as well as tables w/ umbrellas for those who want to be outside but limiting their exposure. There is also a typical eight to ten person whirlpool hot tub, which was a lifesaver the evening after my ATV accident.

The timeshare units in this resort are all two bedroom, accommodates six with two king beds and a queen size sleeper sofa. There is a full sized kitchen, which was well used during our stay. No dinette however, only a tall breakfast bar and the dining table w/chairs out on the lanai. I did a makeshift TV tray type dining set up using the two half coffee tables in the living room.

This Wyndham resorts provides guests with free WiFi in the units as well as free local telephone calls. They also have full sized stacked washers and dryers, which was really nice so that we could do our clothes after the first week over on Oahu. They also provide pool towels for those who don't want to travel with beach towels from the mainland.

As with all timeshare resorts, they will offer you the opportunity to learn about vacation ownership with them. For our two hours, we were given three $50 AmExp gift cards. We were happy with that and used them for a really nice dinner at Huggo’s plus some left over for another dinner out at Big Island Grill.

If you are looking for a timeshare condo that is in the middle of it all in Kona, this is an outstanding resort. If you prefer something outside of the tourist zone, consider Royal Sea Cliff or Mauna Loa also Wyndham resorts. To really get outside the hustle bustle of Kailua-Kona, look into Shell's timeshare resorts on the Big Island.
