Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel
Everything by was fine except our bathroom sink was clogged and the A/C cover wasn’t attached properly so it rattled all night. Needs more attentive maintenance that doest skip steps for the sake of time.

Kona Reef, A Raintree Vacation Club Resort
Location is great for daily activities. Beach close near by and easy walk to shopping and food. Bed isn’t the best but after a day of fun in the sun it was doable. Will return again!
