Royal Kunia Community Center

BEWARE! The place is cheap for a reason… You will only be given an hour to set up and clean up, on top of that there is no air conditioning and they will even make you mop the bathrooms… Funny because they only provide you with one mop. Meaning you’re mopping the whole place with the dirty bathroom mop! Gross! What a travesty, I can’t believe I’m paying for this place through our home owner’s association.
If you like cheap like Valerie R… then you will get what you paid for :-) aloha!

I’ve had two functions here so far, my baby shower for my son & my sons first birthday party! I can honestly say that I love having this community center here now. It is cost efficient compared to 90% of the other locations for rent around the island.
It comes with a full size kitchen, bathrooms, choice of renting the entire space or just half depending on your party size, also an outside BBQ area/​fenced in lawn area for games and activities.
Both of my parties were a huge hit and big success! I will always go here for my rental space needs!

The first reviewer is absolutely correct. We threw a party at this venue a year ago. It was complete chaos to setup and clean up in such a short amount of time. Luckily, I had a whole army to help out, but even with an army I felt rushed and exhausted before the party even started. The space can only accommodate 197 or so guests. We had 180 and it was so cramped. I found this place to have too many restrictions for the amount of money you pay.
You are better off just using this place for business meetings etc. You won’t be able to throw a proper party with all the bells and whistles with this space, unless you have like 50 people or more to help you setup and clean up. I will never use this place again.

I say YES YES YES… On the other hand. I rented the location had my Daughters Baby Shower there and everything went according to plans even though we only had an hour but if extra was needed you could always inform the office and I am sure they could make arrangements to allow for more time provided there is no other function before or after yours.
The prices are better than having to rent the Legion Hall by Kihei Lagoon which charges a 1000. and even there you gotta to clean everything bathroom and all even the kitchen or loose your deposit which is more than the Community Center…
Why you are so mad is beyond me. Maybe your music was too loud. maybe you forgot to mop or double check and just assume it would be looked over.
The Board is member comprise of the community who volunteer there hard time at no pay to help make things easier and move conveinent for the neighbor hood. Those that think they can do better well I guess I will see you all there when its election time to let us know that you want your chance at the next board Seat.
So you to you Mr. Tony C. Maybe our community center is not for you and maybe you should look for somewhere where they charge and Arm and Leg and move there.
Aloha and Mahalo,
Val

NO, NO, NO! Don’t ever think of using this place for any party, social, gathering, and/​or celebration. I did and we all paid dearly!!! This is not in any type of chronological order. See below:
1) too expensive to rent the facility (NOT WORTH THE MONEY)
2) NO AIR CONDITION!
3) you’re ONLY allowed to start setting up one hour before the start of your event (stupid, stupid rule). You can pre-​stage items outside the facility; however, it takes more than an hour for any party setup. The RK association is crazy to think people can setup a party an hour before start time… IDIOTS!!!
4) they will expect for you to have liability insurance for $ 1,000,000. Yes, I said 1 million dollars. If you have vendors (magicians, balloon guy, shave ice guy, photo-​booth etc.) they’ll expect them to have liability insurance as well.
5) very strict rules about each and everything within the facility – inside & outside (IE. can’t stick things to the wall, correct amount of tables and chairs stacked, no bouncy displays on the grass for the kids, etc.)
6) fans and light fixtures are really low
7) did I mention NO AIR CONDITION
8) the big long table has to be covered with something (which they will NOT provide).
9) before your party starts, one has to get tables and chairs from the storage room. It’s not pre-​staged. It got stressful and tiring when setting-​up tables and chairs throughout the facility!
10) once your party ends, you are to put all the tables and chairs away in the correct place and not to mention – sweep, mop, and throw all trash in the trash bin.
11) you also need to clean the bathrooms!!! Yes, both the MEN’S AND WOMEN’S BATHROOM!!!
12) after sweeping the dining room, hallway, and bathroom… you are required to MOP THE KITCHEN!!! Yes, MOP THE KITCHEN!!! And also clean out the sink and the refrigerator.
13) if you have a lot of people attending… it will get really HOT inside the facility. My party was at night and it was still hot w/​fans going and all sliding doors open!
14) they have a screen, but one will need to provide your own proxima (projector). Plus, the screen is not in the most ideal location.
15) NO DRINKING ON FACILITY GROUNDS. If you are planning to have alcohol then that’s an additional fee.
16) HPD is there; cost for him/​her is added with the faculty rental fee. I guess you would still have to feed him/​her – right?!?
17) once all the cleaning completed, the associate that had open the doors for y’all to setup will do a FINAL inspection!
18) royal Kunia residents pay $ 40+ a month to maintain this facility. Where the hell is the $$$ going to???
19) HERE’S THE KICKER and THE ICING ON THE CAKE:
*** if you think you’re in the clear when the associate gives you the thumbs-​up/​green light that the facility is clean, you’re WRONG!!! If there is a party after yours and they said the facility looks DIRTY and NOT CLEANED – YOU WILL NOT GET BACK YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT!!!
How much of an idiot can one be… if the facility associate has given you the thumbs-​up that the facility is clean… that should be it, end of story! Why should the next host be the one to make the decision if the facility is clean or not!!! IDIOTS, I tell you! IDIOTS!!!
I gave it one star just because the facility looks okay from the outside and plus… I couldn’t leave it blank!!!
NEVER, NEVER, again will I use this facility and YOU SHOULDN’T EITHER!!!
