If only the king could see it now—a swimming complex complete with a sundeck and spa tub, plus a 60-yard white-sand beach that fronts a calm cove.

Will be returning
The hotel is still under renovations, however what is done looks great! we were there during Halloween and there was a lot going on. The hotel needs better security. There were people having parties and it was very noisey. You can’t beat the location though and for that alone i’ll be back.

Great Location!
If you’re looking for a great Kona location this is it! It’s across the street from Alli Drive which has several resteraunts(QUINN’S our favorite) and shopping village. We loved our quiet newly renovated room with very comfortable Simmons bed! The employee’s were all very nice! However, this is a old hotel and has a musty smell in lobby, the swimming pool was under construction, the beach cove is filled with kayaks/canoes and fisherman! Other than that it’s a good place!
Traveler's tip on recreational activities
Get a rental car with your flight/hotel package and save! Drive to Hilo and check out Akaka Falls and the Botanical Gardens! Next visit the National Volcano park you can drive around and see all the past craters and walk through a Lava Cave! Another day drive to south point to check out Place of Refuge and visit the painted church. The only tour we took was a boat trip by Sea Quest.. you get to see the whales,sea caves and snorkle!

Good location, but disappointing stay
We chose this hotel this time because of the location, because it was within walking distance to town. When we arrived, we were informed the pool was closed. There was a tiny beach, which was better than nothing, but a pool was very important to us. Our room had been redone and was nice, but the rest of the hotel (lobby, mall area, grounds) were very run down.
