Recent King Kamehamehas Kona Beach Review: "This is one of the two nicer hotels that are within easy walking distance of Kailua-Kona. Other comparable or nicer hotels in Kona are out in remote resort land--a very different experience. The hotel used to be a bit tired/dated, but has been undergoing an updating. We stayed in one of the redone rooms--very nice / huge improvement. Lobby area with  famed collection of Hawaiian artifacts is in final phases of repair from tsunami damage. Staff is very friendly, competent, helpful. Charming for a large-ish hotel. Does not have the grounds or amenities of the big--and more expensive--resorts, but in-town location more than makes up for that. Restored Heiau on the grounds is impressive and evocative. $10 parking charge is reasonable and convenient. Some rooms have great views, others rather bleak parking lot views. One minor gripe: the place where guests and some employees go to smoke is along the pathway from lobby to parking lot. If you are heading out or returning by car (which one generally does to explore the east side of the Big Island), you always have to pass through the cloud of second-hand smoke."

    A short guide to Kailua-Kona

    Kailua-Kona is the epicenter of shopping and recreation on Hawaii’s western shore. Big-game fishers delight off its waters, while shoppers reel in deals along Alii Drive. The Kailua-Kona area is a hiker’s paradise because many of its best beaches are accessible only by foot. Inland, the scent of coffee permeates the air as plantations harvest precious Kona beans. Nearby coffee farms open for tours.

    Honu's on the Beach Restaurant - Faces the beach and the bay. Breakfast and Dinner served daily; dinner buffet of prime rib and seafood served Friday–Saturday only.

    Billfish Bar - Located next to pool. Salads, sandwiches, and light fare served. Tropical drinks and appetizers served all day. Open from late morning through the evening.
