We visit Waikaloa every Christmas break and always stay at the Colony Villas. We love the location! This property is good and needs a little bit of attention to make it great. First, the pros: Great beds, updated master bath, great location. Cons: there is something off with the plumbing. There is this awful noise emanating from the hall bathroom. We promptly reported it to Vacasa and they sent a lovely individual who advised us that there was nothing he could do because there is air in the pipe. The noise made it hard to sleep for some of us. Also, in the same bathroom, the bath tub was slow to drain which made it very annoying for folks using that bathroom.Finally, the dishwasher needs to be replaced because it does not do a good job cleaning and we had to run the same load multiple times.
