Had a wonderful time. Our room was very clean and very friendly staff. Had a beautiful room looking out at the bay. Just loved it!!

This is NOT a resort. It is an overpriced hotel. There is no room service and just to park your car on their lot is $45.00 a day or you park on the street with that risk. The hotel is aged with poor room quality and amenities for a "resort". The rooms smell, there are no standard Resort Greeting things like about the property, services available, how to use the TV or a single piece of paper that you would expect from a resort to detail the facility. The room alone is old and the property, while pleasing from a landscape view, is rundown and in serious need of upgrade. As a guest who was excited to stay at what was once a premier destination resort, I was more than disappointed in my stay. There are too many other options on Shelter Island and around the Bay and Harbor that are better acquainted and with the services you would expect from a title of "Resort". I will not recommend this facility at this time and would suggest you search for a better suited option. While this property may have a PRIME Location, it is NOT a resort by that mere fact of proxmity.

All taxes and fees were paid through *******. When checking out I was blindsided by more fees that amount to sixty percent of what the room rates were

Very nice property- fun for the whole family. Spa is wonderful! Pool is warm which was a giant plus. Would highly recommend this little gem.

This hotel was just beyond incredible, and it’s mostly because of the staff (the property is amazing too) but everyone that works at Kona Kai was top notch. Legitimately a better experience than a couple of the Ritz Carlton’s I’ve stayed at. Naomi at the front desk was so sweet. After telling her my fiance and I were in town for our engagement photos, she even sent a bottle of champagne to our room. The private beach was so nice, and we even roasted some marshmallows at the fire pits :) I can’t wait to stay here again.

Get a room with a view of the bay you won’t regret waking up every morning to that view. Fell in love with SD.

Was disappointed this stay due to the oil smell and parking situation. Electric charging stations took up most the parking lot and the spaces are larger for electric than the rest of the parking spot. The parking fee increased and was unsecured with broken gates allowing anyone in. A large oil spill in their marina made the air smell like gas and the emergency response truck and trailer were taking up a large portion of the lot. My new truck with 450miles on it now has a door ding in the paint. Not happy

Both my room and the hallway have musty smells. The bathroom has no hangers for clothes.

Property is beautiful and the staff were very nice and helpful, except when I had a problem. The air conditioner in our room was not working. The front desk didn’t apologize but chastised me for not calling it in during the night so they could have someone fix it in the morning. The bed was horribly uncomfortable and the balcony had not been cleaned in a while. The positive is the food at Vessel was really good.
