Top Kailua-Kona Hotel Reviews

Aston Kona by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Aston Kona by the Sea was probably the best place my family and I ever stayed, and we travel a lot! We splurged on an ocean-view room and were literally a stone's throw from the ocean. The view was spectacular and it was amazing to fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing outside our room! However, everything about this place was superlative. The accommodations were clean, spacious and comfortable. There was plenty of parking. The location was central to the activities that we planned, and not very far from restaurants and shopping. This place was an excellent value and we will surely look to stay here when we return to the Big Island!"

Royal Sea Cliff Kona by OUTRIGGER

8/10 Good

"Our room was lovely, very spacious for a 1 bedroom apartment. The grounds were lovely and well maintained. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We didn’t have a car, so we had to catch the local bus to the nearest shops. The bus was free which was an extra bonus. The Royal Sea Cliff is a nice resort."

Club Wyndham Kona

10/10 Excellent

"Nice condo style room. No bar or restaurant."

Kanaloa at Kona by OUTRIGGER

10/10 Excellent

"The property was gorgeous with flowers, plants, trees. Lots of birds. Our unit was clean, comfy and spacious. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 balconies. You do pay extra for air conditioning but we knew that ahead of time. The property has 3 pools, one is right on the ocean with terrific sunsets! The property is located in a neighborhood that is quiet. There is a strip mall within walking distance with a few stores, restaurants, book store, coffee shop, movie theater. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"

Big Island Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Bed comfortable, nice area for grilling and general lounge area."

Holua Resort

8/10 Good

"Very nice and clean for an older complex. The staff were always helpful. But the parking lot is so far away from some units. Occasionally the cart would stop and offer a ride. But they were not always around."

Kona Islander Vacation Club

8/10 Good

"Ac and clean room. Very quiet."
