  Be prepared they lock the AC and you cannot survive without it. $15 daily for use. Bare bones inside no shampoo, seasonings, one sad bag of coffee. Says no smoking but there is a thick smell of cigarettes in the room.

  Réservation faite pour une nuit, Ce fut ultra court mais vraiment une super découverte. Appartement avec vue sur la mer au dernier étage. Appartement très grand et bien équipé.

  Nobody can sleep!!! Our unit is on the ground floor, tucked back between two buildings. So no breeze. The unit is a sauna 24/7. We paid the $15/day AC fee, but (1) there’s only one portable AC in our bedroom, so the other bedroom and living room have no help; (2) the portal AC is extremely loud—an average of 75 dB—even my husband, who’s the best sleeper, has to turn it off during sleep; (3) the portal AC doesn’t cool down much—and we were warned so when we signed the waiver-type thing before paying to turn it on. My 75-year-old mom has to sleep on the lanai every night. We consider us pretty heat-tolerant people. Front desk is not even sympathetic! Don’t stay here if you visit in August. Either Hawaii has become a lot hotter than I remembered, or this unit is not livable.

  Luckily, we only booked one night @ The Sea Village! We booked through VRBO. When I was searching for a place to stay, I specifically requested that the condo unit have AC. While technically The Sea Village does offer AC... it is not evident from their listing that there is a $15 daily extra fee. The AC unit provided is an anemic, single, floor unit, that struggles greatly to keep one small bedroom under 80 degrees F. The rest of the condo was HOT! They provided fans but when the temp outside is 85-90 degrees F, fans don't do much of anything. Our check-in time was 4pm. We had to request the AC unit & hook up by 4:45pm b/c staff went home at 5pm. We made it in time to make the AC request. When the maintenance man came to hook up the unit, we had to sign a waiver stating that we were aware that the anemic AC unit WOULD NOT be adequate to cool the condo and we would need to pay $15 extra per night anyway! 😳 The rest of the condo was a hot box, with no breeze from the patio and no windows to circulate air! To add insult to injury, there were signs on everything to tell us what to do, or not to do and if we didn't follow the rules we would be charged extra fees. I paid $243/night....plus $15 for the privilege of the AC unit in the bedroom. Besides the extreme heat in the unit, we were also greeted with an odd odor that I cannot quite describe. It was something like a combination of mold, moth balls, and dead beetles. 4pm to 11am next day was more than enough time for us at the Sea Village! There were no frills, nothing extra in the unit...just an empty, odd smelling, extremely hot, time share condo unit! I feel sorry for anyone who traveled as far (or further) than we did and is trapped at this "resort" for the entirety of their vacation!!! One night's stay was bad enough!

  We stayed here for my husband's 40th birthday and overall ended up having a great vacation, though it didn't start off the way we had hoped. We arrived around 6:00–6:30 PM HST, but the office is only open from 8:30 AM–5:00 PM. Since there is no in-person assistance after hours, we had to call a number to receive a temporary key for check-in. While the process worked, it would have been reassuring to have staff available for guests arriving later in the evening. Our initial impression of the condo was that it was beautiful, but it was extremely hot inside. We later learned that air conditioning requires an additional daily fee, and the portable AC unit is kept in a locked storage box that can only be accessed by staff during office hours. Unfortunately, this meant we had to spend our first night relying only on fans, making for a very uncomfortable night's sleep. It's also worth noting that the portable unit only cools the living room area and would not have reached the bedroom. During our first night and early the next morning, we noticed some cockroaches. Being from Florida, we completely understand that tropical climates come with bugs, so we weren't upset at first, that they existed but would rather not have had to deal with during vacation. We reported everything to the office as soon as it opened. The staff assured us this wasn't uncommon for the climate and arranged to have the unit sprayed while we were out exploring, as well as unlock the AC unit. Unfortunately, when we returned after 5:30 PM, we saw notice for bug spray but the AC was never unlocked. Throughout that evening and early morning- the true extent of bug problem became apparent and overwhelming. At that point, we went to the office immediately once opened and was directed to the property manager, Victor, whom stepped in, and completely changed our experience. He was professional, empathetic, and incredibly solution-focused. He quickly found us the best comparable unit available and coordinated moving all of our belongings so we could continue enjoying our vacation without losing valuable time. The second condo was wonderful—clean, comfortable, and we didn't see a single bug during the remainder of our stay. The bedroom AC made a huge difference, and we slept much better. The view was still beautiful, although this unit overlooked the pool and offered less privacy than the first. Even so, it was a very pleasant place to stay. Overall, while we wish we hadn't experienced the initial issues and would have appreciated more staff availability outside normal office hours, we truly appreciated how Victor handled the situation. His customer service turned what could have been a very disappointing experience into a positive one. Because of how well the issues were ultimately resolved, we would consider staying here again.
