Kona Mansion Inn, you have truly outdone yourself. Never in my life have I been subjected to such…read morea horrendous lodging situation. Aside from that one time when we went camping and the tent fell down in the rain, congratulations! You are number one on my list of worst places to stay...ever! The what-would-have-been-an-otherwise-glorious-weekend started when we almost got lost trying to find the dirt path that would lead us towards the lovely "chalet" that we were staying in....you know, it's to the left of the broken down truck and past the tiny painted wooden sign that says "chalets" (what, those aren't good enough landmarks for you??) As we entered the house which was decked out in some awesome 70's style furniture (and also looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the 70's), we scrambled to claim our beds, Real World style. Luckily all the rooms were pretty much exactly the same--you know, box fans, giant bugs and the best part... slightly moist sheets. Awesome. We sucked it up though and after a while I think the place grew on us. After all, there is definitely something comical about a family of ants living on the bathroom floor and a giant hole in the ceiling stuffed with toilet paper. Sure, drinking to cope helped, but who wouldn't think that mouse droppings on the kitchen table was funny?? It wasn't until the next morning when someone noticed the blood on the bathroom wall that we knew we were staying in a truly memorable place. (Seriously, I couldn't even make this shit up people.) All is not lost though, there is one redeeming factor of Kona: the shower. With the warm water (I know, right!?) and fantastic water pressure, it was the one thing made you feel as though you weren't staying, well, at the Kona Mansion Inn. Ahhhh.... relaxation....that is until your friend comes to knock on the bathroom door: "Umm... can you hurry up, the water is dripping through the ceiling into the kitchen..." And, we're back! So the moral of the story is, who needs to camp in the rain when you can stay at the Kona Mansion Inn and get the same effect? Right, camping in the rain it is.

Wow! I had the exact opposite experience as the other review. We rented the mansion for a 5 day…read moreweekend and I couldn't have had a better time in this place. Not only was there a 9 hole, par 3 instead of a lawn, but a short walk away was their docks and a nice beach that was at our disposal to build a fire or just have some lunch. The hospitality and true family feel that Kevin, his son Brian, and their right-hand man, Nate showed us was nothing short of spectacular. I feel lucky to have found this place and will be back...NO DOUBT.

The place was amazing, very beautiful and views for days! The staff were very nice and informative…read more Now the not so good things: 1. It was very hot the day and you are forced immediately off the trolley to sit in a glassed in pouch that was 112 degrees for 20 minutes, which sets the tone of the experience in a negative way. You view the mansion hot and sweaty, which stinks (Pun intended). Even if it wasn't hot, people should have the option to skip the video. 2. The trolly is supposed to cycle every 15 minutes (trolly even said it on the way up). We waited over 30 minutes. 3. Some guests were chastised for things that could have been easily avoided by putting up signs. If you don't want people doing things which seem perfectly acceptable to do, put a sing up or put it at the end of your 20 minute video. I think the guests who were talked down too felt embarrased and it was unnecessary. 4. When you drive up to the attraction, there is parking, by the cafe. We parked, got out, and had to go up to some people working in the park to find that we had to continue driving up the mountain to get to the carriage house. Are signs that expensive? "Keep driving to see Castle In The Clouds" or "This way to see Castle in the Clouds".

WHAT?!?! If I had known Robindel was on Yelp, I would've given it 5 stars 100 years ago…read more My last summer was eleven years ago, and I have been back to visit almost every summer since. The memories and friends that I made at camp will certainly last a lifetime. The directors Ann and Nat have done everything possible to maintain the important traditions of CR, and you never have to worry that they will sell out to a big camping organization or that they will ever build a pool. The lake is the most important drawing point because it is the largest, most beautiful, and most pristine lake in all of New England. The camp wraps around the lake, and all of the property in use is along the waterfront. The grounds are impeccable, and the campers (but for a few bad apples) love and respect the camp, and its traditions, to the up most degree. The food is another important drawing factor. Gary, the chef, whose first summer was in 1958, still makes everything he can from scratch, and he is extremely talented. He is the only Black man, who can braid a challah better than any Jew on earth. Gary sparked my love for food 17 years ago, and now I'm an elite yelper all thanks to him. My mom says he is the reason she sent me here. This is an all-girls, uniform, camp. The campers are primarily, but not exclusively, Jewish. The staff is almost exclusively gentile, with the exception of returning camper counselors. The directors and administration are strict, and rule-breaking isn't tolerated, and is treated as a distraction to the overall camp experience (i.e. you'll get sent home for any serious infraction). However, as a camper, there was never any temptation to get into trouble. Even at 14 years old, boys, cigarettes, drinking, etc. were the absolute farthest things from our minds. In those years, we would never think of doing anything to jeopardize our Color War standings. Color War at Robindel is a 7 week event, with competition taking place every Sunday, and culminating with Sing in the final days of camp. The winners are determined after the Sing competition. Seriously, send your daughters here. It comes more highly recommended than Babbo or Ippudo.
