Loved staying here so much! It was a great price for how spacious and nice the place was! We loved staying so close by to many shops and the beach. We also liked how they provided us with bath towels, a beach mat, and other beach items. Would 100% recommend to anyone staying in Waikoloa!!

Be sure to call the property prior to arrival for gate code and door code, even though the reserved condo states check-in at 4pm. There’s no front desk at the property. The condo includes AC, washer/dryer, fridge, etc. The dumpster for trash is located in the back where all the mail boxes are located. Parking is free. The beach and market place is a 5 mins drive from the condo.

How elegant this condo was, all the comforts of home. I couldn’t get over how the lanai was so roomy, whereas you can invite friends and family and just have a bonding day together. The master bedroom had a stall with 2 showers separated from the toilet . The other bedroom consisted of 2 double beds, a bathroom with a shower and a separate tub. Kitchen was equipped with everything you needed refrigerator, dish washer, washer and dryer. The living room was separate from the dining room.. You get your monies worth. Thank you for a vacation well spent. We will definitely see you in the future. Mahalo again!
I almost forgot that the King and Queen Shop was in walking distance.

Patios outside were nice; views from all windows were exceptional. Pool was comfortable with lots of loungers, umbrellas, tables and chairs. We had no contact with any staff, except friendly gardeners.

The condos were beautiful inside and out. I liked the flavored coffee creamers left the coffee and tea. We were a bit disappointed that the pool was closed and we had to walk down to a nearby condo pool. It would have been nice to of known this before booking or before the trip. It was also very hard to find anybody on the property that worked there.The management office was always empty.We were supposed to get the pool code from them and it took a while to get through to someone on the phone. A few more garbage bags in the unit would have also been useful. I would stay here again though. Was about a 15 minute walk to the Kings Shops and Queens marketplace.

The Shores at Waikoloa is in a great location: close to ocean, restaurants and shopping. Our condo suite had excellent views of all four mountains on the Big Island. This third-floor condo has a large balcony with comfortable furniture on which to view the mountains and volcanoes. The property is quiet and walkable. The neighborhood is easy to walk around and includes sidewalks and bike lanes.
The property is one of the older projects in Waikoloa, so our unit's furnishings cabinets and floors are dated. Remodeling was only partial. But, the rooms are spacious and the appliances and fixtures worked well. We had everything we needed.

Harrassed by owners of units

Our stay was absolutely awful. We were confronted and interrogated by owners of other units at the Aston Waikoloa Shores. These owners took pictures of our ohana and proceeded to video us at the pool. Our children were apporached anf questioned by multiple owners at the Aston Waikoloa Shores which left our children frightened and alarmed. We asked mutiple times to be left alone by these owners (I will refrain from providing the unit #s of which these owners are from. Our unit had no rumning water the first day. Washer and dryer were not operable for the entire stay. There were bugs and droppings in our bedding sheets and we had no other sheets to use. The tub was not able to be used as it wad infested with ants. Our ceiling leaked in the kitchen and the furniture where smelly and completely worn. The entrance to the unit walkway was covered in leaves and dirt. Overall the harrassment and discriminatory remarks made against us \"nothing but a bunch of locals\" coupled with the extreme poor condition of the units we contacted the management dept. and are requesting to be compensated 100% of our stay. Sorry, but this is the truth. I will refrain from adding pictures.

Terrible check in experience.

Despite my efforts to communicate with the property manager prior to our arrival I didn't receive the entry gate code or the key box code. We spent about three hours outside the gate in near complete darkness, made numerous calls and finally got to the condo around 1 AM. It was very frustrating and exhausting.

Below expectations

After 20+ years of renting at Waikoloa(multiple locations) this was the least satisfactory. To begin, we had difficulty locating the rental management (Aston) for check in. When we arrived at the unit we found it was not that clean. There was a used bandaid in the shower, a lot of dust in various locations, and some of the dish’s had not been cleaned. There was coffee residue on some of the coffee cups. The place is not that well equipped, no spatula, cork screw broken, old frying pan that was hard to clean. The supplied paper products were of the poorest quality. The TV set requires several steps to turn it on but Aston services came over to help us with it.

Nice staff but .....

There was a very loud noise inbetween the two bedrooms starting at 5:30 am intermittently throughout the day. Staff tried but were not able to figure the cause and correct the problem. There route to the pool was double in length due to a footbridge that was in disrepair and there were mosquitos at poolside,... maybe due to a koi pond with brackish waters that could have used cleaning? To be fair, jam a mosquito magnet so they may not bother others

Dated and Noisy

We stayed in Unit 131. You can hear your upstairs neighbors moving about, but even worse is that you can hear the plumbing each time they flushed the toilet. The cleanliness was ok except that there was thick dusk collected at the top of the dining room chandelier that appeared it had not been cleaned for a long time. Amenities were sparse. Kitchen utensils were sufficient to cook a meal, but the unit only had one bar of soap for both sink and shower so we had to ask for more. Some aspects of the complex needed some work such as wear to signs and paint. Water pressure in the shower were ok. I found the bath towels to be \"scratchy\" and the bed was too soft for me. Complex had good proximity to shopping and market.

You know how some units just invite you to stay and you enjoy spending time there? This was not one of those. Not offensive, but not inviting either.

I've place. Spacious unit. Too bad The Waikaloa srea doesn't have convenient bus services like Wailea/Kihei or Kaanapaali/Lahaina areas in Maui. One car isn't enough in Waikaloa if two people have different interests and it's not connected to the other resorts in the area. It was fun but too much wind (especially on the golf courses) and not a lot of charm in the area. Would stay in Aston Shores if we came back, but no plans of returning.

Condo 301 is a disappointment

The property is beautiful. Unfortunately condo 301 overlooks the parking lot, which you get to via the 1980's elevator which stinks and is the size a shoe box. The condo's decor is from the 1990's and looks like it has not been cleaned since then. It has the basic needs, 2 couches, 1 king bed (rock hard), with old blankets and ONLY 4 pillows when the condo it meant for 4-6. The shower/bath is a hazard and liability. It is the size of a jet (from the 80's) with a shower. NO ASSISTING STRUCTURES. If you are unsure on your feet or elderly STAY AWAY. The best thing was the lani (balcony). Luckily my stay was for work and only for 1 night. I write this for those of you visiting Hawaii and wanting a 4 star vacation do not stay here. You can do much better for the price right around the corner.

Aston Shores at Waikoloa, Unit 11- 202

This was our second stay at the Shores. The grounds and pool area have been well-maintained and are still lovely. Parking was plentiful and convenient to our unit. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, as were the maintenance folks (they promptly responded to an issue with our laundry closet door.)

We stayed in building 11, unit 202. The unit was on the second floor and was large and clean with a great lanai, which we enjoyed very much. Overall condition of the unit was decent. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable. The living area furnishings appeared to be more suited for outdoors (seating was uncomfortable and sofa too small to stretch out on.)

The kitchen needed updating - appliances appeared to be worn out (inside of dishwasher rusted, loud compressor on the fridge, cracked microwave door) and the cabinets were pretty beat up. Kitchen provisions also weren't great (we wound up purchasing our own skillets and tupperware as well as coffee filters, basic spices, etc.)

We were a bit frustrated with the wireless (very slow with limited range.) As others noted, foot traffic can be heard above - we had a heavy footed woman staying above us who liked to stomp around at all hours of the night (I wound up leaving a note on her door.)

Overall, we enjoyed the property and would probably stay again - however we would likely go with a third floor or villa unit and rent directly from an owner so we know what we're getting up front.

Overall good experience. Units a bit dated.

We had great time at The Shores. Our villa was spacious and clean. We could see the ocean in the distance from our balcony and beautiful sunsets. The pool was very nice, not too big, not too small. It made it easy for our daughter to meet other kids. I also liked the location - close to several beaches and very close to King Shoppes and Queens Shoppes, where you had everything from groceries to restaurants to art galleries and fine shopping.

The drawback was that the unit was dated, especially the kitchen. The dishwasher barely worked. Kitchen cabinets were old and sticky.

There were no beach accessories in the unit, although we know that some other units were better equipped. Depends on the owners, I guess.

Overall, we had a good time and would come back.

Ok hotel, close enough to nice Waikoloa beach

This is a time share facility and apparently the condition of the rooms will vary. Ours did show signs of use, and the bathrooms could have used an upgrade. The kitchen and general supply was very basic, and we had to ask for some additional supplies such as broom, frypan and oven tray. The reception was quick to supply though.

There is no house keeping included with the appartment. The location is nice within the resort and in a fenced community. Nice Waikoloa beach is about 5min drive from the appartment (and about 15' on foot). All restaurants and shops of the resort are close by.

The room was much different than what I had seen on the web site. They tried to charge us an additional 200.00 dollars at check in for a cleaning fee which we declined. They said we could be charged up to 200.00 if we were loud. The room looked as though NOTHING had been updated in 20+ years. Everything cost money... changing your bed, internet, a lost key fee of 75.00. Thankfully we only had one night there, so we got up first thing in the morning, and headed out. The rest of our vacation was spent at the Hilton.

The Shores ~ Great Location in Waikoloa

The Shores is a quiet, condo development in the Waikoloa Beach Drive area (near the Hilton Waikoloa, where my husband's conference was held, and a Marriott). Aston manages some of the condos and it is now more of a self-service condo through them. It is very clean upon check-in. You can stop by the office daily for a free newspaper, or if you need additional toiletries, paper towels, etc. If you want maid service, there is an additional cost. We were there for 10 days and actually found it nice to not have to think about staff coming in to clean.

There is a small pool on site. A well appointed exercise room. Gated entrance to complex. Wi-Fi in unit. And, a washer/dryer in unit. The shoreline is only a 10 minute walk through a preservation area which you can then walk south towards \"A\" Beach. A bar/restaurant, The Tropics, is located near the gated entrance. The King's Shops and Queen's Marketplace are an easy 20 minute walk away with shops and restaurants.

Our unit hadn't been updated - probably since being built. But, it was still lovely, with a big, comfy couch. Other reviews mention being in a newly remodeled unit. We have found this to be common in condos that are available for rent. Many are owned by individuals who place them in the rental pool. Some times you luck out with a new remodel, which is nice. But, when in Hawai'i, if the grounds are safe, clean and pleasant, what more can you really want?

Nice complex but units need work

The buildings look nice and the grounds are nice, but the unit I was given #236 in the Bo Tree Tower really needs some upgrading. It was filled with very dusty plastic plants which I moved to the closets. The dust was so bad I had to clean every area they were. Most of the fixtures in the bathrooms were rusty and had lime deposits around the fittings. The mattresses were so old that they had that egg carton foam to sleep on top of the mattresses. The table on the lanai was all rusty. Then there was the kitchen--there was four frying pans, one glass oven dish, and very little utensils. The can opener was from 1950's. We were charged for the internet which did not work. We had a repair man come to fix it. It worked for one day. They charge you to use the safe, per day. My key worked about 1/3 of the time. Very old rusty lock. I could go on. I have stayed in lesser priced places and expect less, but I was paying $300 per night. I feel like I have been taken, and will not stay here again.

Window coverings in bedroom were did not achieve privacy at all. Nice bar on kitchen' no bar stools. Old tile floors through out, needs up dating. We found out the day we left that the pool had recopened two days after we arrived, no one informed us that it had opened.

Very Nice, But.......

The condo is extremely nice. I cannot give it a consistent 5 rating due to two occurrences. The listing on Hotels.com stated it was a one bedroom with a sleeper sofa. We arrived, played all day, and at bedtime, we went to open the sleeper sofa and it was not a sleeper sofa, just a conventional couch. The office was closed so two of our party had to sleep on the floor that first night. In the morning when I spoke to the front desk, they stated there is no guarantee of a sleeper sofa, so I consider this inaccurate if not false advertising. We were offered a blow up mattress in place of the sleeper sofa. The second problem stemmed from the property manager. When I explained the inconvenience and discomfort in a very polite way, he was curt and treated me as a nuisance. All other staff was great.

Good value for the price

We enjoyed our stay at the Aston Shores at Waikoloa. The facility is beginning to show its age specially in the kitchen. Otherwise the two bedroom apartment was roomy, airy, and comfortable. The only complaint that I have about this place is the glass walls of the shower stall in both bathrooms have not been cleaned for a long time. It would have looked so much better and give the guests a much better feeling about the place if glass walls were clean. On the flip side, we left the safe wide open one day with a couple of hundred dollars of cash sitting in it and yet nothing was taken from it. We will definitely come back to this place in the future.

Not Entirely for People with Kids

We needed a place to stay that was reasonable, we found this condo on Expedia.com. The price was right, but the hotel didn't live up to our expectations. The facilities were a bit dated, the pool wasn't very clean and the surrounding buildings very quiet. It just wasn't suitable for a couple with 4 kids, two of which are toddlers.
The hotel staff were very professional and had great customer service.
We would recommend this hotel for people who are adults or have teenagers. Not suitable for kids.

Explore the Big Island by day, relax in comfort ..

We (parent + 2 teenage kids) loved our stay at Wiakoloa Shores. Two bedrooms, 2 baths, fantastic fully-equipped kitchen and good-sized living space. Lanai, bbq grills. We're not interested in the golf/shopping stuff, but the entire property is beautiful and exquisitely maintained. 45 minutes to Hawi (north), 30 minutes to Kona (south). Numerous splendid beaches within KeKaha Kai state park (20 minutes south) and other resorts along the coast.

This was a great condo with a daily maid service if wanted. Ours was a two bedroom unit that was spacious and airy with two massive bathrooms with a nice large lanai but with not much of a view. We were sorry not to be able to extend our stay beyond 3 days. Liked the pool in the centre of the complex which was mostly populated by renters such as us. Management were on site and helpful. On the map it is actually called \"The Shores\" as we drove around for ages trying to find Aston Shores! Happy stay just remember there is a $10 per day resort charge as usual! Would return if back on Big Island again.

Tired and Outdated

Our room was very large and had a nice sized lanai. But the room is badly in need of a deep cleaning. The taps had hard water stuff around it, our bedroom had a dirty stain on the carpet. The wall decoration in the dining area was held up by thumb tacks.... really?? The owners couldn't put more effort into putting it up properly?? The place had venetian blinds with some slats missing and the place smelled of stale cigarette smoke.

Nice if you Enjoy \"Gated Communities\"

Should have done my homework better I guess: This \"Resort\" is one of ten resorts built on a lava bed about 20 miles North of the Kona Airport. Nothing but lava rocks are far as the eye can see. Then the resort community with 10 hotels on it, two shopping centers and a golf course. No \"Shores\" unless you drive ten minutes to the beach. One non-resort restaurant (Lava Lava Club) right on the beach. No towns, no people, no animals, no trees for many miles outside the village.

The Waikoloa Resort unit in which we stayed was OK-ish: the unit looked a little tired (appliances from the 80's) and the carpet smelled a bit musty. But it was comfortable.

But the thing that bothered me the most about this resort was that it had no sense of place: I have been in gated communities in Arizona that were nearly identical - right down to the palm trees!

But apparently a lot of folks like this type of vacation and seemed really pleased by it. So if you're a golfer and you like lava rocks this may be for you.

Spacious family hideaway

Condo style, so your furnishing may vary from unit to unit. Our unit was huge, looked out over the ocean, had access to multiple pools and fast, secure internet. Five minute drive to supermarket for supplies.

We rented a condo at \"The Shores\" - as the sign outside the gate at Aston Shores reads. Staying there is easy walking distance from the Hilton's conference centre and a conference we were attending. So we had the quiet of a \"golf course\" surrounding our place. And were able to make breakfasts or snacks. The staff were really helpful with any requests, late arrival information, or with our occasional trouble with wifi. We found a shuttle service that operates to and from the airport - stopping at The Shores: it needs to be booked in advance - it is much cheaper than a taxi. The condo itself is entirely adequate even though not as \"high-end\" as some of the surrounding accommodation - and thus an economical choice for us - three adult conference attendees. We were entirely satisfied with our stay..

Great hotel in Waikola - The Big Island (Hawaii)

This is a brilliant hotel in Waikola. It's in the middle of the Waikola area which has the Kings & Queens Shops only about 5 minutes walk away. There's a supermarket to buy food supplies and lots of other great shopping so close to the hotel. We stayed in a 2 bedroom Villa and it was fantastic. It was so spaceous and comfortable for the 4 of us - 2 adults and 2 children. We overlooked the golf course which was a beautiful view. It doesn't have a restaurant or shops in the hotel complex so if you're looking for somewhere beautiful which is not so busy this is the place for you. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Was very central to everything especially as we hired a car and did trips of the island.

Great option for families!

We booked this condo because we have three small children and wanted a place that we didn't have to rent two rooms. The property itself is well kept and the staff very helpful. The room was a little dated in decor but it was very clean and extremely comfortable for our family. I would definitely recommend this for traveling families!

Dissapointed

Pros: location
Service
Nice place to relax

Cons: we've booked the deluxe suite but the suite they gave us looked old and dingy. We were very disappointed as our friends paid the same for their suite and got an upgraded more comtemporary suite. When we escalated the complaint, they said they made a mistake and gave us a semi upgraded room the following day.

Overall not a bad villa, However if you'd upgraded to a deluxe suite, ensure you ask for an upgraded suite.

convenient for water activities, very comfy spot

We enjoyed our stay here a great deal.

Loved having a full kitchen. We stopped at Costco on the way up from the airport and appreciated having a full-sized refrigerator in which we could store our provisions. Did some entertaining and found the apartment was comfy for our dinner guests too. Saved a lot by not eating out so much.

We went snorkelling almost every day and found that there were several excellent spots within a few miles of the apartment. The coastal trail, which has some of the best sunsets, is also an easy walk from the apartment.

The staff was extremely helpful and very pleasant. It was a treat to go to the office. You should note, however, that there is a required daily fee of 10 usd for internet, newspaper, etc. I was surprised by this, but found that this place was pleasant enough and, in general still reasonably priced for what you get given the location, that I did not begrudge this expense.

Disappointing, accommodation in need of refurb

The resort is right in the centre of the Waikola beach resort and the grounds within Aston Shores are very well kept.; thats the good bit. The accommodation itself although had everything we needed was dated, looked from 1980s or early 1990s, coloured bathroom suites, flaking gold taps, old VHS player/recorder (although did have DVD recorder as well) old CRT TV, stained carpets, you get the picture. Whilst on the big island we stayed in three different locations all on the West coast; irrespective of price, this one was the worst; and it was the most expensive. Go elsewhere, there are better places.

Nice hotel. Dated decor. Friendly hotel staff

We arrived just before hotel staff left for the evening. The lady who greeted us was very pleasant and friendly and told us to come back in the morning to check in and receive our welcome packet.

The condo was very spacious which was great for our lil one who is one yr old and is walking around. We felt safe for him to venture around as it was pretty baby safe. We were given the first floor which gave us access to the backyard grounds which was also great ! The condo's decor is pretty dated and needs upgrade. You do feel stuck in the '80s. The facilities are limited. There is a pool and hot tub. They said it was a heated pool however when we went in it was cold which was terrible for our baby. There was an outdoor BBQ area but we didn't use it. The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. We did like that DVD rentals were included in the resort fee.

The hotel is close to the other resorts (Hilton and marriot) and was close to the kings and queens shopping areas. All within walking distance.

I would recommend this condo for families just realize that it is dated and some of the photos posted by past guests are true.

Super sized unit in need of updating!

We stayed at Aston Shores for almost two weeks for our February vacation. While the unit we stayed in was spacious the kitchen was poorly equipped and very dated. The lanai was large but no barbeque, my husband had to cart everything across the parking lot to where the barbeques were located. The furnishings needed updating.

My wife and my stay at the Aston Shores at Waikoloa was superior. We had a two-bedroom, two-bath unit and there was a deck that went off both bedrooms and the large livingroom-dining room...The staff was outstanding...The cleanliness was perfect...The location couldn't have been better. The Aston Shores is part of a larger resort area that has two big malls that included several outstanding restaurants, and a golf course...For those looking to exercise, there is plenty of room to walk around the complex...You don't need to leave the Aston Shores but if you so choose, you are not far from the wonderful town of Kona with all its restaurants and shops...We wish we didn't have to leave but our vacation was over and we had to return home.
