    We have stayed many times at this resort over 2 decades. They take good care of the resort and staff are great. Good location that is quiet at night. Great pools and views of the ocean. We have never thought to venture to any other resorts in Kona. Easy parking which is also nice.

    Although not situated directly on a beach, the resort is centrally located with many beaches, shopping, restaurants, and activities nearby. A highlight is the excellent snorkeling at the Capt. Cook Monument a short boat ride down the coast. Another highlight is the active Kailua volcano/lava flows about a 2-1/2 hr drive from the resort. The big island of Hawaii contains many different ecosystems that are worth exploring.

    We have stayed at the Kona Coast for the last 20 years, or so. Location is great, close walk to Kahalu'u Beach Park. I have never been to that park when I did not see turtles on the beach. Beautiful! Ideal for families. Really nice pools at the Kona Coast as well. Highly recommended.

    We have always enjoyed Kona Coast Resort Phase II. The resort is beautiful and well maintained. The apartments are very well kept and stocked with all you need for cooking, laundry, etc. Each unit has a private deck with wonderfully relaxing views. It offers two pools, one very quiet and one more active. There is an exercise room, restaurant and bar, barbeques throughout, activities, and assistance with planning outside activities. Staff are most welcoming and gracious. It is close to the awesome downtown area and shops, as well as snorkeling, restaurants, etc. There is a lot to explore and enjoy in the surrounding areas.

    Nice resort with many amenities located in the heart of Kailua-Kona. From the pool, great view of the ocean. Close to shopping, restaurants, golf, beaches and easy access to the highways that take you to all the sites and around the island. Perfect location if you are attending or participating in Iron Man.

    This is a 5 star rated resort located about 15 miles from the Kona International Airport. The Kona Golf course pro shop is about 1 mile away. An excellent Snorkeling beach is a short walk away. Kayak paddleboard rentals are also a short distance away. Grocery shopping, a pharmacy, and a movie theater is less than a mile away.

    Beautiful resort, super friendly staff, and a bonus is the restaurant and bar onsite. Love all the activities the resort plans and that you are able to borrow beach chairs, etc. while you area at the resort. Quick drive - or a gorgeous walk - to town.
