Club Wyndham Kona

Due to delayed flights we didn’t check in until minutes before midnight and although staff was friendly we were told little and given nothing so we didn’t learn about resort activities that happen each day - some complimentary and some which have a fee. I heard a lovely lady in Hawaiian dress giving a botanical tour I would have loved to be a part of but that happened once on Monday morning and I missed it 🙃. We had booked through Air B&B and because of late arrival, we were put in a wheelchair-accessible room which was not as updated as what we had booked, nor did the larger bedroom match anything we had seen on-line but the location and the view off the lanai was good. At the resort, there are large gas BBQs located for access for every few condos which is a great option and they work well and are easy. * you can ask for BBQ tomgs which no one told us but by day three I started asking. The kitchen was OK but not very well equipped. No tea kettle, no tea pot, no hot mitts - silicone hot pads or trivets are NOT safe to grab something hot out of an oven as they don’t grip or bend at all so you need to use the tea towels🤨 I asked and was told that was what I should use. Each building seems to contain four condo units. There is an Above and a Below. If you are put in a below, you hear footsteps, chairs, showers and toilet flushing from above. Our unit had great AC and fans in every room and on the lovely lanai: the deck chairs often stuck to the paint of the floor so clunk a lot. Both bedrooms had king sized beds which were very comfortable but had pillows which looked good but crushed to very thin when you put your head in them so they were uncomfortable 🙃 The resort has two pool areas that are connected by a couple of main roads and a maze of pathways. We were closest to the lower one which is nearer the Aloha checkin desk - it was great and open 8-10. Not a lot of chairs or loungers but it almost always seemed to accommodate. The hot tub was like a warm springs waterfall and the pool had various depths and bench seats; there were a few umbrellas at tables and the garden areas were nicely maintained. The higher pool area we did not use but it had a larger pool and an even more developed garden. The grounds are well maintained and even include a turtle/fish habitat pond. On our fifth day I discovered there is a shed you can borrow from which may contain beach chairs, boogie boards, pool noodles etc - I wish I had been told. Thank you Sharon for being helpful with directions 😀. On our first morning we were called by the concierge to hook us up with wrist bracelets which are slick and work well even if you have swam in them; however, it was really the starting point for the Time share push. We said a hard no and I think that is why we didn’t get much helpful information so ask at the desk for extra housekeeping items like coffee filters and dw cubes and BBQ tongs. There are large parking g stalls handy to every area and being in Ali’i Drive is a great location there is a little beach out the gate and to the right only about a 8 minute walk away. The free resort wifi provides one connection per person but it works very well all over the resort. 👍 we recommend getting groceries at Costco. The fridge worked well and had a built in ice machine. Overall, I would recommend but encourage more clarity with communication and advise #Wyndham to provide hot mitts and tea pots and weekly activity guides.
