Find Cheap Hotels in Kailua-Kona, HI

"My partner and I both loved our stay at the Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. There were so many wonderful things that we enjoyed. It was a beachfront hotel, so just a quick walk out of the lobby and you're at a pool with a hot tub and a little beach with a lagoon that opens to the sea. We enjoyed the refreshing water and being able to see fish in the water at our feet. There were also many walkable shops and restaurants; it's very close to Ali'i Drive where all the shops are. We enjoyed lunch at a nice grill and breakfast at a local coffee shop nearby. The views were amazing and the service was outstanding with a lot of aloha. There are also many services in the hotel, like UFO parasailing, which we did and thoroughly enjoyed. There is also a beautiful art exhibit of King Kamehameha the Great."

"The ambience of Hawaii really does a lot for this hotel. The property is old and starting to fall apart. The rooms are decent and have great views from the balconies, but the bathrooms are the type you will find at a motel. The hallways smell like vomit at random times of the day at night. The staff is very average. The food in the restaurant downstairs and the bar is very mediocre. That being said, there is beautiful foliage everywhere and the property is right on the water, so the place looks magical at any time of day. I'll probably pick a nicer place in the future. But for my first time to hawaii, I really enjoyed the experience!"

"The Guest Services staff was incredibly helpful and courteous. Always willing to help. The condo unit was clean and provides all amenities needed - from pool towels to dish soap. If you need anything additional they are happy to provide. The bed was very comfortable. Unit was a little outdated but worked for us. There are Bbqs all over the property to use and are cleaned daily. Restaurant had a daily happy hour and live music every night. Highly recommend for all ages!"

"The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cookware, and dishes. Washer and dryer were conveniently located however the dryer took an unusually long time to dry clothes."

"Holua Resort is a comfortable, family‑friendly property that delivers a relaxing stay on the Big Island. The grounds are lush and well maintained, and the pool and surrounding facilities are inviting and peaceful. Our two‑story unit was **spacious** and thoughtfully laid out, with plenty of room to spread out, a functional kitchen, and comfortable sleeping areas that worked well for a longer stay. That said, the décor and finishes do feel a bit dated, so manage your expectations if you’re looking for something very modern. The one real downside was the layout of the resort itself: parking can be quite far from the units, and we found ourselves hauling luggage a long way in the rain, through areas with standing water, which was inconvenient on arrival and departure. Overall, though, the friendly atmosphere, quiet setting, and roomy accommodations made it a very pleasant stay and a place we’d consider returning to with just a bit of logistical planning."

"Clean and spacious room with beautiful ocean views. Kids loved the pool and wife and I loved the hot tub. "
