Big storm on the Island this week and the entryway has no mats or signs stating how slippery it is…read more Not only did I slip and fall on my knee, the cashier did not care, and the shopping center management did not care either. And I'm sitting here at home with ice on my bruised and swollen knee. I know they aren't in charge of the prices but they are in charge of their attitudes, which frankly sucked.

Review is based on the gas station only…read more A gas station with solar panels and an ocean view good enough that people occasionally park here just to view the sunset? Yes, this is the Big Island of Hawaii! Gas prices are low too, among the lowest in the Kailua-Kona area. One issue that I have found with most Hawaiian gas station pumps is that they will not remain on auto-lock; you need to keep applying pressure to the fuel dispenser to keep the gas flowing.

I appreciate that this Safeway location offers public restrooms. A lot of places don't anymore, and…read morehaving that option is genuinely helpful. The bathrooms themselves aren't particularly clean, but they're functional, and I'm grateful they're available. That said, every stall door currently has a sign that says "Aloha, locks are broke, please knock." Unfortunately, that system does not work. I am a female and just had a man walk in on me while I was actively using the restroom. That's uncomfortable and avoidable. A printed sign is not a substitute for functioning locks. For a major grocery store, this should be addressed promptly. Basic privacy in a restroom is not optional. Still shop here, but please fix the locks. I did try calling to speak with someone but the phone was never answered.

So you pull in off the highway and he's always there. He dresses in dirty clothes, reeks of smoke and his establishment is a perfect reflection of himself. Dirty and ran down. I'm not sure how this guy moves to Hawaii island straight from India, but something is very off about the entire situation. Mr Patel likes to leer at all the woman tourists in a very sexual manner. I see this guy every day as I live in the area and drive right by him. When I say he's outside every day, it's literally just that. Avoid this business at all cost. I would be cautious about his gasoline as everything looks janky and not well maintained. No good

Typical ABC store…read more I had a return to make ( Sadly the large bottle of Grey Goose put us way over the limit of Alcohol & Weight for going back to Canada ) I also finally found a cool tank top to take back home to my ex bf who had requested one. It wasn't exactly what I had in mind ( he wanted one that said Kona or Big Island ) but it was slim pickings both here and at many other stores. The last ABC didn't even have men's Tank tops, and time was winding down. Took my chances and lucky for me ( and him! ) he said he really liked it. The return was easy ( always keep your receipt! ) They also had various Kona guitar picks as an impulse buy at the cash desk, so I got him one of those as well. I didn't really look around at anything else, but I'm sure it has everything you need from this iconic Hawaiian convenience store!

We visit Kona sometimes twice a year and we have a favorite oceanside eatery but this trip we tried…read morea new place and were very pleased. There are several restaurants along the waterfront in Kona and we chose to have dinner at Humpy's (now Laverne's) Big Island Ale House. They have a downstairs seating area but we elected upstairs (there's in and outside). We were seated quickly and the server was friendly (there's validated parking at Coconut Grove Marketplace- make sure you give your license plate to the staff). We sat right along the rail and looked out over Kailua Harbor. And started with delicious cocktails - I chose the Blue Hawaii and my wife their Pina Colada. Both were tasty and refreshing (my wife loved the drink so much we came back another night). It was a late night meal so we wanted something lighter - I chose the Blue Cheese Wedge Salad and my wife ordered the Hummus Plate. It wasn't long before our plates came out (but long enough to believe they were freshly prepared). The salad was tasty and had plenty of variety in the ingredients. My wife also really enjoyed the Hummus plate with pita wedges, hummus and vegetables. As I mentioned we came another night and I enjoyed the Kalua Pork Sliders (with Likikoi Cole Slaw) while my wife really enjoyed their Aloha Spinach Salad (with goat cheese, avocado, caramelized bacon, and Pineapple chunks). The service was prompt, food was delicious, and prices reasonable compared to Kona prices. We'll be back
