Nice, comfortable condo
It is a nice, comfortable place to stay. The balcony has an ocean view over the other buildings in the complex and is great to sit on in the morning.
The couch folds out into a bed so even though the property has a single bedroom, the living-room/dining/kitchen area can be configured as a second bedroom overnight. The bathroom is well located so it can be used from both areas.
The biggest thing that will determine if any unit in the complex is for you is location. Its a short walk from black sand beach, and a half hour drive from the volcano park. It does have a pool, hot tub and BBQs. And it is nice and quiet. A great place if you like nature and want a base for exploring the island. If you want restaurants, city activities and entertainment, and lots of nearby things to do, this is not the place for you. I have stayed in the complex before and was delighted to find this condo for this stay, so it really all depends on what you enjoy.
Did have a couple of minor issues and the owner was easy to contact and responsive. The clothes dryer wasn't working but that was solved using a paid dryer in the complex laundromat. The washer is quite small so using the laundromat may be a good idea for larger amounts of laundry anyway. Also worth noting that fridge has a rather loud hum when the compressor is running that may be an issue for someone sleeping the in living-room (cant hear it from the bedroom).
To sum it up - would we stay there next time? A definite yes!
