Kaupulehu Hotel Guide - 4 Stars Hotels in Kaupulehu, Kailua-Kona

"I love staying at the Royal Kona. I think it’s a great value for so many reasons. Great room options, especially if you want to save a few dollars on renovation rates. On the ocean with a pool and a saltwater beach I haven’t gotten to enjoy yet (my fault!). Restaurant is right by the pool so you can grab drinks or food. The restaurant does breakfast starting at 06:30! I think they end dinner at 21:30. Ice machine and purified water station, wifi, parking if you don’t mind a $25 daily rate. There’s parking in general in the area but it can get pretty busy. In the heart of Kailua-Kona so if you plan on staying on Ali’i Drive and taking advantage of amenities there without a car rental, you might be able to make it work. I appreciate the welcome package: two bottles waters in your fridge and two drink ticket for Mai Tai’s but I believe you can get mocktails instead if you prefer. I think it’s pretty wheelchair/walker accessible: ramps and elevators that are pretty well kept up. I have to say even the partial ocean views make all of this worth it. Waking up to stunning blue waters and waving palm trees is hard to beat. Then you can just wander out to the nearby beaches or to the many shops and restaurants nearby. I don’t really see a need to stay anywhere else if I’m honest! You can feel the love and alpha from everyone at this resort. Can’t wait to be back!"

"Amazing Hotel Perfect for Family Week Kids Day"

"Overall this is nice property 8/10. Clean well manicured botanical grounds with a quiet large patio area with AMAZING SUSNET Views. Soothing crashing waves all day and night however NO immediate ocean swimming or beach access (drive / walk for that) No onsite food / bar NOT GOOD was having to punch in a 6 to10 digit code on a keypad EVERY TIME FOR EVERY pool gate, the 1 elevator and our condo door. With multiple people in our group this became VERY frustrating. Been decades since we have stayed anywhere without a key card / digital entry. First desk staff contact with a male employee 👎 was dismissive and unpleasant to say the least. He was flat out RUDE however the 2 ladies later that afternoon were Fantastic! No parking issues and this location and it is about a 5 minute drive to all the local shops, restaurants / bars and night life. Would stay here again but only after exploring other priorities in the Kona area. "

"Was told the trams would be in working condition but only 1 was and it didn’t even take us the full way lots of walking "

"We enjoyed our stay at Kingsland. We were a bit disappointed that the room type we booked wasn’t available and they were unable to accommodate the right type during our stay with no compensation. Beyond that the room was clean and the pools were fun! Also will mention we woke up every morning to lawn movers and leaf blowers so if that’s something that you’d like to avoid listening to in the morning this may not be the best choice!"

"Yes"

"This was the best and most beautiful condo on our trip to Kauai, Maui and Big Island. The view was great, The kitchen and counters were amazing, the living and dining room were very comfortable, and the rooms and bathrooms were perfect. The beds were comfortable and it was an excellent location. It was also very quiet which was nice. It had a very large and comfortable outside area as well."
