Top Kailua-Kona Hotel Reviews

Royal Kona Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great and walkable to the local restaurants and shopping."

Big Island Retreat

8/10 Good

"Short walk to the beach, staff was very helpful, parking can be a little challenging. I would stay there again based on the location and the unique hotel rooms."

Club Wyndham Kona

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our stay here! Quiet property, super responsive staff. The pool was amazing. The shed with beach supplies was super helpful. Free parking! Great internet! Great location! Wouldn't change a thing and would stay here again."

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

"Centrally located, nice property, comfortable beds and fast room service"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Kailua-Kona by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was clean and very centrally located, pool and spa were clean and refreshing"

Kanaloa at Kona by OUTRIGGER

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful condo and convenient washer and dryer inside the condo itself. We had a partial ocean view and it was absolutely breathtaking. Very close to so many places and only 30min from the airport"

Kona Islander Vacation Club

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve been staying at Kona Islander since 2008 and have stayed in several different units over the years. We keep coming back because we love the location and atmosphere, and the staff during this visit were absolutely wonderful, friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We had a great stay overall. Our main disappointment with this particular unit was that it did not have a hot plate or small stovetop. One of the reasons we choose Kona Islander instead of a traditional hotel is the ability to prepare meals during longer stays. We stayed for 10 days and went to Costco planning to make many of our breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in the room, but with only a microwave, we couldn’t do that as planned. This unit also had only a small refrigerator, while other units we’ve stayed in at the property had a full-size refrigerator and freezer. That was less important to us, but worth mentioning. We would absolutely stay at Kona Islander again. We just hope the owner considers adding a hot plate or small stovetop to this unit. That one addition would have made an otherwise wonderful stay even better."

Castle Kanaloa at Kona

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super friendly and the condo had newer furniture and flooring and was well maintained. Would definitely come back!"

Holua Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very nice place. I was actually pleasantly surprised considering the price was more in line with a hotel rather than a resort. I did not realize though, that it is a time share and i was asked to attend a 90 minute presentation which i did not go to. I would stay there again with no hesitation."
