Coconut Grove Marketplace

If I could give them a zero, I would. The parking lot has now turned into a paid parking lot. I can see charging tourists but locals? Come on. Absolutely disgusting. Also, to register they ask for personal info like your birthday. Why is that needed. Why not just ask for license plate, DL # & name. Why do you need all this unnecessary information. I see now there is A LOT of open stalls in area since they decided to charge people to park.

I have spent quite a bit of time here over the course of several years. Great place with a lot of different options for stuff. A real treat to just walk around and see what there is too see. A strong reccomendation from me for what that is worth.

Plenty of shops and restaurants but not parking lot. A pain in the butt for parking in here. Also, the homeless people are rampant in the area. People do play volleyball in here and sunset watching which is pretty good. Spending at least 3hours in here a day is enough. I can’t stand staying whole day here.

Rip off alert!! Very disappointed that Coconut Grove is now charging for parking. The parking is very expensive. $12 per hour. It’s mind blowing when you are already spending a good deal of money to eat there or shop there. Now they are charging high parking. I understand if you’re not going to buy anything or eat. But if you are spending money the businesses should validate parking.

Basically a restaurant plaza more than anything. There are a few other kinds of shops there. There are a lot of places to eat in Kona with several to choose from there. Street parking can be hard to find but there are several paid parking lots around. The lots use a web based system to pay. It can be tricky to get to work. Be ready to input lots of personal info the first time you use it.
