Figured out the translation of "Kona Kai".....
Believe it must mean "terrible, rundown motel that tries to pass itself off as a resort....and bring some ambien if you want to actually sleep". That phrase (though wordy) sums up this place perfectly. 
Not going to spend a lot of time on things like lobby (who cares) or location (it is really in the middle of nowhere - end of a pathetic 'island'). 
In sum, this place has no business attempting to pass itself off as a resort. In my opinion, it is misleading and false advertising. From other reviews, it sounds like this place was good in it heyday. Sadly, those days are long gone. At best, this is a fancy Motel, like a step above Motel 6. Let's call it Motel 6.20.
If I had to sum up the room in a single word, it would be 'dump'! Old and outdated are the least of its problems. After you drive your car around to the building where your room is allegedly located (yes, think HoJo style here), you enter a semi-enclosed structure. There is no signage or other direction to indicate if you are in the right place. It is simply trial and error to find your assigned roon. After getting on the elevator for the short trip to the second floor, I had to avert my eyes from the filthy carpet in the elevator. Upon entering the room, the stench is the first thing to greet you. After that, it is all downhill. Walk past the tube TV and you encounter a terribly sagging, U-shaped bed, as well as similarly shaped desk chair (and, oh yeah, the chair cushions are stained as a nice bonus).
The beds are abysmal. During the night, I was fully expecting a spring to pop up through the mattress and impale me. Also, you better really like the person you are sleeping with because the laws of gravity, along with the terrible beds at this place, will guarantee that you spend the entire night - like it or not - attached to them. There is simply no escaping the valley of the U mattress. 
For the most part, the rooms appear clean, but do not be fooled! For a clean freak like me, it is notable to point out some very major deviations in this regard. 
First, the bedspread...yes, you read that correctly - they still use bedspreads. As all of the 20/20 and other investigative interviews have revealed, a hotel bedspread should essentially be burned immediately since they are so nasty. Not at kona koni....instead, there, they take the bedspread and cover the entire bed, pillows included. So....your pillow is tainted with bedspread nastiness from the get go.
After you muster up the courage to remove the bedspread, an equally nasty and worn "velvet blanket" is revealed. As anyone born before 1976 can confirm, these are those nasty velvet things that pill and get gross with each washing. I thought they were banished from the face of the earth, but fear not - you can find a full supply at this Motel. At this property, you have an added bonus - they contain the hairs (head as well as hairs from other body parts) of prior guests. This all sets the stage for a great night's sleep. 
Speaking of sleep, good luck. First, the pillows; or, rather, the "pillows". These are nothing more than pillow cases stuffed with a layer or 2 of miscellaneous stuff. I call them "pancake pillows" That is about how thick they are.
Second, no need for an alarm clock if one of your neighbors rises riser earlier than you. When a neighbor showers, it feels like you are in the middle of the pipes where the water is running through. While I did not hear the actual guests talking, I could tell when they showered or washed their hands. The sound is so loud you feel like you're in the middle of a waterfall. 
Third, the lovely holes in the towels are really nice. Enough said.
Fourth, if you are handicapped - or get put in a handicapped room - good luck in the bathroom. Apparently, at the Kona Kai, physically challenged people don't have needs for shelves or cabinets or counter space in a bathroom. I had an accessible room. The only place to put my toiletry bag was on the shower chair that is used for disabled people. 
Fifth, the heating/AC unit. It is at ankle length and appears to emit only one temperature regardless of its setting.
Sixth, outlets. They are original from 70's or 80's - be prepared to get creative in getting your electronic device to stay plugged in. The outlets are so old that they barely hold any charger. Also, as an added bonus, they are all about ankle high and out of the way. This is a business traveler's nightmare.
Speaking of business travelers, they claim free internet. Well, you get what you pay for. In the common areas, it works well. In the rooms (where you probably need it the most) it is slow and unreliable. 
This place advertises a spa. There was a flyer attached to the key jacket that boasted a "neck, shoulder, back, foot and leg massage" for $70, usually $90. This type of massage you can get at major airports for $20 bucks. This is not a real massage or a real spa. In any event, you will need a whole lot more than a half-baked massage after a stay at this Motel (I am even being kind calling it a motel). They should throw in a free week's worth of chiropractic treatments after suffering 1 or more nights at this place.
Service at the bar was good....once the bartender showed up. Warning....her martini doesn't taste like it, but it is quite lethal ;)
Restaurant....service and food delivery were rushed. However, when you wanted a refill on wine you had to set yourself on fire to be noticed by the waitstaff. Food, at best, was mediocre. 
Bar and restaurant close at 10 on Friday and Saturday nights....really????!!!
Suffice it to say..this place is so bad that I would sooner stay in my car than stay here for the night. It is really that awful.
