"It is really very close to the beach, you can even walk it.i also love the place itself. very quiet. The only thing really is the air con is very loud that you can’t sleep! That is the tie breaker. Either you sleep in comfort with the loud sound of the air conditioner blasting loud into your ear or hot but quiet during the night. I always end up turning off the air and just taking off my clothes under the covers Lol. Also the small window by the back porch doesn’t have a curtain so the neighbor...

Top Kailua-Kona Hotel Reviews

Kona Coast Resort

Kona Coast Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The unit was very spacious and the bed super comfortable. We had the quiet pool near us, which was very nice. The kitchen was well-equipped with dishes and pots, but there is no salt & pepper, oil, or any other food. The resort was conveniently located close to activities, shopping and highways. There is a nice snorkelling beach about a 3 minute drive away. You need a car to get around. If you get a gift card for doing the timeshare presentation, try to use it up early as not all restaurants and shops have a swipe for using the card."
