Top Kailua-Kona Hotel Reviews

Royal Kona Resort

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, the ac worked great, the staff was friendly and helpful! I wish the room had a microwave and that the room was a touch more sound proof. I love the sound of the waves , but I'm a light sleeper and it was a bit too loud even with my headphones."

Aston Kona by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Aston Kona by the Sea was probably the best place my family and I ever stayed, and we travel a lot! We splurged on an ocean-view room and were literally a stone's throw from the ocean. The view was spectacular and it was amazing to fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing outside our room! However, everything about this place was superlative. The accommodations were clean, spacious and comfortable. There was plenty of parking. The location was central to the activities that we planned, and not very far from restaurants and shopping. This place was an excellent value and we will surely look to stay here when we return to the Big Island!"
