What a wonderful host Melia is! Kona Palisades is on the lower floor of a two-story home. Despite the owners (hosts) living upstairs -they were NOT intrusive- we truly felt we had a separate living space; their deck provided shade for the lanai off the unit. We felt the cost was fair. Rental has a well-stocked "kitchenette" (no stove or dishwasher) yet a full-sized refrigerator. We rented in early October, with daytime high temperatures in the low 80-degree range. There is no central a/c, (we didn't want to hole up in a climate-controlled rental!) yet a sufficient amount of large ceiling fans doing a fine job of keeping the unit from being stifling. Best of all, every window has insulated drapes, giving us the option to block out direct sunlight when necessary. It is a clean and maintained unit, though it is worn. In particular, the living room couch cushions slid and were uncomfortable when sitting for long periods of time. Also, a problem with the internet connection to the TV was never resolved but we used the 55'ish" Smart TV as a large monitor with our laptops, to stream our apps. My favorite pastime was hanging out on the spacious lanai with my Kindle, having direct access to the infinity pool, and a wonderful view of the coastline! When it was time to escape the sun & humidity and return indoors, the west facing windows & large sliding glass door brought the outdoors inside. Forget other rentals; Kona Palisades provided all we needed w/o foot traffic noise of hotels!
