Top Kailua-Kona Hotel Reviews

Kona Coast Resort

Kona Coast Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at the resort. The condo had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable vacation, and housekeeping came by only when needed, which we appreciated. The pool and on-site restaurant were conveniently located close to our room. There was also a grocery store and several other restaurants within a short walking distance. The views from the shopping area were amazing, and overall, we really liked the resort’s location. The one major downside was being required to attend a timeshare presentation upon arrival. We found this unexpected and uncomfortable, especially since it was not something we anticipated when making our reservation. If this requirement had been clearly stated in the reservation description, we likely would have chosen to stay somewhere else. We enjoyed the resort itself, but the mandatory presentation definitely took away from the experience."

"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."

"Absolutely loved this hotel! Walking distance from everything in the historic district, but also easy to get on the highway and explore the rest of the island. Parking on site, pool and hot tub and breakfast included all of which is really hard to find in Kona. It was especially nice for the kids to have the breakfast and pool. The staff was extremely helpful, I would gladly stay here again. I highly recommend the hotel for families."

"Had a beautiful room looking out to the ocean. Perfectly placed for an evening walk to restaurants and bars. Plenty of space in my room, with tables inside and on the balcony. Kitchenette was very handy. Parking can be a bit tight, but I did manage to park onsite both nights. Supermarkets are a short drive away for supplies, and the airport is 15 min away."

8/10 Good
"The room we stayed in said it was a partial ocean view. When looking out the sliding glass doors from the living room, we had more of an ocean view than we were expecting. We also had partial ocean views when looking out from both bedrooms. The property has 3 pools and one of them is a quiet pool, which is the one we used the most. We arrived after hours and the security guy was helpful with showing us where the condo was located and then we were able to go the next morning to finish checking in."
