Jun 11, 2025No need to rent a car!
We had a fantastic time, and no issues at all. They were the co-sponsors and site for the Hawai’i Kuauli Pacific & Asia Cultural Festival. That was an amazing event! We also booked our room with breakfasts included--that is the way to go! Because it is in the downtown of Kailua-Kona, you don't need to rent a car. So many things within walking distance! And tours pick up from the hotel. Some people say the place is dated...those people are spoiled! It was perfect for us.

Fine hotel with a great location in Kailua-Kona
This is a nice hotel located right on Kamakahonu Beach. We really enjoyed the Hawaiian artwork and artifacts on display throughout the property. There are several cafes onsite along with an ABC store that is open late. The location is great, just a short walk from all the restaurants and shops on Ali'i drive. The room itself was in great shape, with ocean/Hawaiian decor and a cool balcony. It was perfectly clean and the beds were very comfy. Service was quick and friendly. It was a little pricey, but given the amenities and location, it's worth it and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

May 26, 2025Great family hotel, wish house keeping showed up more than once.
This was a great hotel, wonderful location, and a perfect place for our family. The only issue was that housekeeping only visited our room once over the full week (when we were told they would come every two days). As a result, we ran out of bathroom amenities (toilet paper, body wash gel, etc).

May 11, 2025**Rarely have I felt less welcome and less comfortable in a hotel!**
**Rarely have I felt less welcome and less comfortable in a hotel!** Already at check-in, you had the feeling you were disturbing; the lady at reception seemed annoyed. The rooms are cleaned only every two days-without informing the guest beforehand. Reception only explained this, after we asked politely, on the evening of the second day, when we were surprised to find our room hadn’t been cleaned. But even on the days mentioned for our specific room, housekeeping knew nothing and only cleaned the rooms of guests who were checking out. The breakfast buffet is neither particularly varied nor abundant, but in our case, it was included in the price. Today, on Mother’s Day, a brunch was held in the already too small breakfast room (wait times sometimes over 20 minutes; travel groups even had to adjust their schedules), for which guests had to pay extra. All guests with the regular included breakfast had to move to an unattractive side room, where only a very limited selection of food was available. You felt like a second-class guest, even though this did not match the service paid for. There are restaurants nearby, but the hotel itself does not have one. The coffee bars in the hotel are rarely open. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel. --- Quellen

May 05, 2025This place sucks, save your money and go elsewhere
Everything that sucks here: 1. You call the front desk and tell them you have gold elite status and ask for an early check in which is more than ok; they DAF. We waited for 5 hours. And when we moved from where we were sitting, they say oh sorry your room was ready but we didn’t see you so did not tell you. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? 2. We were eating at their pool side restaurant and we were drinking from a pineapple. Just a blended pineapple. They made us leave. WE WERE EATING AND PAYING AT YOUR RESTAURANT, WE COULD HAVE FINISHED OUR MEAL INSTEAD OF RUSHING US OUT. 3. The hotel rooms are supposed to be ocean facing, when you go to the balcony you can see a small sliver of ocean and that’s about it. 4. I have stayed at enough hotel rooms to know about good coffee, but their machines literally had sand in their coffee machines. I am writing all these in day 2 of our 8 day trip. Do I regret this? Yes! Is it my birthday when I am writing this, ALSO YES. SO THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THIS!
