Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Budget-minded international travelers seeking a central Kona location and full resort services find this place suits their wishes. Regulars return annually for the hospitality and casual atmosphere. In the hotel's hallways are numerous Hawaiian artifacts, such as a feathered cape and helmet, and portraits of Hawaiian royalty. Two mounted, record-setting blue marlin are also on display. Both artifacts and marlin pay tribute to Kona's special attractions and fascinating history.
Amenity highlights: Though the pool complex with its hot tub and sundeck offer a relaxing option, the pretty beach is a gem. About 60 yards wide, deep, and half-moon shaped, it fronts a cove that offers calm-water swimming and snorkeling.
Insider tip: With his court established on Oahu and his reign secure, King Kamehameha returned to his homeland of Kona in 1812 and established his residence on a lava-stone platform in the cove fronting the hotel. He also commanded a temple to be built and religious totems to be carved and erected. Replicas of all of these have been constructed as part of National Historic Site preservation. The history can be absorbed from signs and imagined by walking among seagrape hedges from the hotel out to the platform on which the king's residence and the temple are located.
