Top Old Kona Airport State Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

PACIFIC 19 Kona

10/10 Excellent

"It was a older property but it was updated quite nicely and didn't feel old if it felt fairly. Modern. Staff was friendly and the location is absolutely fantastic. The pool area was nice but better than that it was walking distance to the pier where we swam in the morning in the ocean."

Royal Kona Resort

8/10 Good

"Great location in Kona, especially for the Ironman World Championship 👌🎉‼️"

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel offers excellent facilities that are easy to use. It is ideally located on the main street with convenient access to a sandy beach that’s great for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. Complimentary morning coffee, poolside drinks, souvenir water bottles, a seven‑stage water filtration dispenser on every floor, and beach chairs with parasols are all thoughtful touches. The only aspect that didn’t feel fully 5‑star was the front desk service, but overall the hotel deserves a 5‑star rating."

Manta Ray Manor - Oceanfront Gated Community, short walk to beach and town.

10/10 Excellent

"My family had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful. Homeowners were very kind and helpful. The people at the gate were friendly. I felt safe in a gated neighborhood. I loved that the home was close to so many great things on Ali'i Dr like restaurants, small shops and ocean diner cruise. Several days we walked up and down the street enjoying all of it. The home is in a great location."

Kona Isle B31

10/10 Excellent

"Made for a perfect vacation!"

Spacious 4-bedroom house plus bunk room with WiFi and AC in charming Kailua-Kona

10/10 Excellent

"This property is a fantastic house for a family vacation. The host Marco did an excellent job of welcoming us and answering all our questions. It is an excellent location within walking distance of Kona center. We would definitely stay here again."

Kona Shores#130

10/10 Excellent

"Kona Shores was the perfect spot for our getaway. It was IMMACULATE and had everything we needed. I did think our unit was be closer to the shore on the property, but it was on the front of the property on the main road. Still, it was still quiet enough with the wind unit AC running. I will say the bathroom door was not not very private, so this studio unit is best for people traveling together who are not shy and know each other quite well!"

OCEANFRONT BEACH HOUSE WITH SUNSET VIEWS AND PRIVATE POOL

10/10 Excellent

"Best Vacation we have every had! House was clean and had everything we could have imagined, great communication with the hosts, great suggestions for restaurants and activities. The kids loved the beach behind the house, and Queens Bath beach just a short walk from the house. The town of Kona was so cute with many good restaurants and activities, We snorkeled, and booked a night time Manta Ray snorkel; visited several nice beaches nearby, went to a Luau nearby, and took a half day deep sea fishing trip, came back to the house and enjoyed our catch for dinner in the well equipped gourmet kitchen.The pics are beautiful, but the house surpassed our expectations!"
