Hotel is a 10-minute drive located in the heart of Kona town from the Kona International Airport (KOA) and sits on the site of King Kamehameha's home in the bay fronting our beach the Ahu'ena one of the most culturally significant locations in the Hawaiian Islands. We are a short walk to Hulihee Palace of the Hawaiian royalty and the first missionary church in the islands. Walking distance to a variety of shops, music venues, breweries and nightlife.
"This hotel in downtown Kona, Hawaii, was commendably clean. Although they stated housekeeping was every other day, our room was actually cleaned daily. The hotel facilities are excellent; the pool is open from 8 AM to 10 PM, and the gym offers a comprehensive range of equipment, from cardio to strength training. They even have their own small private beach.
Conveniently located downstairs, there are plenty of options for shopping and dining. The breakfast spread is abundant, primarily American-style, with enticing tropical fruits that are sure to whet your appetite. Just outside the hotel is a lively shopping street called Ali'i Drive, where you can find popular ice cream spots and local Kona coffee, both highly recommended. Hawaiian-themed clothing and souvenirs are also readily available.
For transportation, I highly recommend renting a car. This makes it incredibly easy to visit attractions like Volcanoes National Park, Black Sand Beach, White Sand Beach, Green Sand Beach, and Mauna Kea.
While public buses are free, their schedules are unreliable, with long intervals and frequent delays.
Rideshares are convenient for getting to the hotel, but returning from attractions can be risky, with the possibility of not finding a car or facing surge pricing that can exceed $500."
