Top Kailua-Kona Hotel Reviews

Club Wyndham Kona

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 4 nights and loved our remodeled 2 bedroom unit (looks better than some pictures we have seen so I think it was remodeled ). The kitchen was perfect for a light breakfast and coffee was provided. Loved the convenience of having a washer and dryer in the unit. Parking was outside and you don’t need to pay extra like some hotels. The two pools/ hot tubs were really nice. The only problem we encountered was the flies at the pool-they were constantly on our bodies! It would have been nice if beach chairs and umbrellas were offered. We would stay here again if we come back but I doubt we would. We didn’t think the beaches were as nice as Maui."

Royal Kona Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The location is absolutely amazing being right on the ocean. The restaurant is always really good and I’ve been going there on and off since 2009and have never been disappointed. Nice pool space. Hard to leave."

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel
