Beautiful Pool with Stunning Ocean and Sunset Views
Beautiful home with amazing privacy, deck, and outdoor spaces. The pool is smaller than it appears in photos and is solar-heated by the sun (no solar panels), so it was a bit chilly on some days. The house itself is spacious, and the host was excellent—very responsive.

Royal Kona Resort
This resort is in need of some major updates. The buildings are shabby. Staff is nice but restaurant service not great. Best thing is the location. Walking distance to Kona-Kailua. We won’t revisit until updates are made.

OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa
Checkin was smooth, hotel was clean all around. No beach access. Not that many restaurant options for lunch. The pool restaurant took long, food was mediocre.
