    • Zunächst mal das positive, die Lage des Hauses und die Terrassen direkt am Meer mit dem tollen Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang waren super und auch die etwas altmodische aber traditionelle Einrichtung hat uns grundsätzlich gut gefallen. Allerdings war die Klimaanlage kaputt, es wurde uns eine alternative Unterkunft angeboten, aber es handelte sich um eine Wohnung in Kona und da wir weder umziehen noch in eine Wohnung direkt in Kona wollten, blieben wir. Wir haben dafür eine Entschädigung erhalten, das wissen wir zu schätzen.Das Haus sollte dringend an manchen Stellen renoviert werden, besonders die Küche und das Bad waren schon alt und beim genaueren hinsehen hat man überall die Mängel gesehen, die man natürlich auf den Fotos vorher nicht gesehen hat.Es wäre für uns alles akzeptabel gewesen, wenn der Preis nicht so hoch gewesen wäre, die Unterkunft war nicht das gezahlte Geld wert, wir hatten auf Maui eine halb so teure Unterkunft auch direkt am Meer. Es war unser Honeymoon und wir haben wirklich Geld in die Hand genommen und waren aber letzten Endes enttäuscht!
