Top Kailua-Kona Hotel Reviews

Kanaloa at Kona by OUTRIGGER

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean and very relaxing"

Kona Coast Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The unit was very spacious and the bed super comfortable. We had the quiet pool near us, which was very nice. The kitchen was well-equipped with dishes and pots, but there is no salt & pepper, oil, or any other food. The resort was conveniently located close to activities, shopping and highways. There is a nice snorkelling beach about a 3 minute drive away. You need a car to get around. If you get a gift card for doing the timeshare presentation, try to use it up early as not all restaurants and shops have a swipe for using the card."

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."

Royal Sea Cliff Kona by OUTRIGGER

8/10 Good

"Our room was lovely, very spacious for a 1 bedroom apartment. The grounds were lovely and well maintained. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We didn’t have a car, so we had to catch the local bus to the nearest shops. The bus was free which was an extra bonus. The Royal Sea Cliff is a nice resort."
