Aston Waikoloa Colony Villas

I liked the location. The condo itself was a good size. The pool was nice and the grounds are nicely maintained. It is quiet.

There was not enough parking. We had just one car each for two condos, and we had to drive in circles to find a place to park. There should be at least one spot reserved for each condo--perhaps a second for an additional fee. Residents should be discouraged from parking in the non-reserved spots. It was very annoying. I was disappointed in the amenities. I wanted to play tennis, but when I went to the office, they said they didn't have rackets for rent. The condo was poorly appointed. I spent a fortune on Kona Coffee only to have it ruined by the cheap, 1980s Procter-Silex coffee maker. All the dishes and kitchenware looked like they came from a garage sale. And there was not so much as salt and pepper in the kitchen. The management will leave you one spare roll of TP. So, if you're there for a week or so, you may need to call in for additional supplies. This is so unnecessary--it seemed really chintzy. That said, if you need something, the staff is friendly and will bring it to you fairly quickly. Our condo didn't have any pool towels, and they were delivered within an hour. If you want to relax and watch a little television on your vacation, don't expect a flatscreen HD TV. You want a robe? Bring one from home. With tax, service charge, and cleaning fee, we spent $425 per night per condo. For the price, I expected more.
