Top Kailua-Kona Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent for ocean swimming. Ironman swimming course is available. Central location in Kona. Convenient shops, coffee, shaved ice, etc. in hotel. Rooms are somewhat old, carpet covered. I would have given 5 stars if the floor cover was wood or tile instead of carpet."

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."
