Dwight - January 2025

"We had a fantastic experience with Polu. This is a family-run company that is committed to HOSPITALITY, and it showed in everything they did -- from the ease of booking and speedy response time to the care with which they furnished and supplied the condo. From high-end soaps to a kitchen stocked with all the appliances you might want, to the thoughtful direct engagement from the manager to make sure we were getting everything we might want to enjoy a fabulous week on the Big Island. We look forward to future trips with Polu and will recommend you to our friends wholeheartedly. Mahalo nui loa!"

Laura - January 2025

"We stayed in 8D at Hali’I Kai for 2 weeks in January 2025. This was our second stay at Hali’I Kai. Condo 8D, managed by Polu Hawaii Vacations, was a great place to stay! This condo has a lovely ocean view across a section of a golf course. We spent every morning and every evening after dinner on the lanai/balcony. We were very comfortable in this unit. The kitchen was FULLY stocked. In fact, I could hardly believe how well stocked it was. This was important to us because we like to cook during our stay. Response time and service of the management company was excellent! With the length of our stay, we requested wet Swiffer pads to touch up the tile floors. James Gunn responded very quickly to our request. From before we reserved the condo to the end or our stay, James always responded quickly to our questions and was very accommodating."

"We enjoyed our stay so very much. We plan to re-visit Unit 8D again in 2025 because everything was amazing and the sunsets were the highlight of each day. Thank You Polu Hawaii Vacations!"

Jim - November 2024

"Had a great stay at Halii Kai 8D over Thanksgiving 2024 with our family. The condo was clean and fresh, the gift basket of coffee and macadamia nuts was a nice touch. The views from 8D are incredible with excellent sunrises and perfect sunsets. The property has a nice pool on the ocean with a decent restaurant for food or drink. The shops and restaurants in Waikoloa are a short drive or walk away and it’s easy access to the beaches around Kukio."


Guest Rating: ★★★★★

Sharon - February 2025

"We have stayed at Hali'i Kai several times over the years but this is the first time in this condo with this property manager. This unit at 11G is the BEST location - we could sit on either of the decks and see the ocean - whales spouting, beautiful sunsets. Just a couple minutes walk to the Ocean Club - our favorite reason for this condo complex - excellent food and several times a week, local entertainers. The pool complex is more of a wading/ relaxing pool rather than a lap pool. It had one section that was perfect for our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter.

We had one very minor repair to report to Polu Hawaii Vacation and it was attended to immediately with follow up to make sure everything was just what we wanted. James was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend!"

"Great property perfect for our family. Loved the close proximity to pool. Decor was very nice. Bedding excellent. Very comfortable..."


Guest Rating: ★★★★★

Kim & Matt - March 2025

"To say this place exceeded my expectations was an understatement. The view over the golf course and lanai was just breathtaking and serene. The accommodations were beautiful and well thought out. They thought of everything to welcome you to your home away from home. Just to name a few: the coffee bar was full of local coffee and island delights. Those little touches did not go unnoticed."


Guest Rating: ★★★★★

Thomas - October 2024

"We had a fantastic stay at Hali'i Kai 8D! The ocean views from this unit are unreal!! We got to witness some spectacular sunsets from the lanai. This was my 6th stay at Hali'i Kai. We’ve stayed at a variety of units in the past, even in one of the ocean front buildings. But the view from 8D is superior in my opinion. The ocean can be seen from the kitchen/living room, primary bedroom, and even the second bedroom! James at Polu Hawaii was fantastic. He checked in with us to make sure everything was perfect. The unit was well appointed, and had all the kitchen items that we needed. The ocean club has an awesome pool, hot tub, and workout facility, all with panoramic views of the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our Big Island vacation."


Guest Rating: ★★★★★

Anastasia - October 2024

"What a fantastic spot! My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and it was perfect. The complex is secluded and staying here was a much better experience than being at a crowded resort. The condo has amazing ocean views and the sunsets were spectacular! Everything was clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend!"
