Top Kainaliu Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Kailua-Kona by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Kailua-Kona by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"We had a short one night stay, arriving at 7pm, but check in was easy. had to pay for on site parking extra $25/ night (which seems unnecessary since it was their own lot). Breakfast was very good, beds and pillows were comfortable, as well as pull out couch- though did have to ask at front desk for its bedding. Check out was 12 so we had time for an early beach outing, but they would not allow for a later checkout when I requested, saying they were too full."

"Property was well kept and the room we stayed in was quite spacious and clean. A pool was right outside our room for easy access and even though the pool was a bit busy at times, we couldn't hear it from our rooms. We stayed in building 1 room 5. Great room and kitchen. All utensils that we needed were there. We would definitely go back to this resort in the future. My whole family enjoyed it."

Big Island Retreat

10/10 Excellent
"We really loved our stay here. The location was great as you could easily walk down to the beach and back, having parking and a hose to wash the sand out as well as access to borrow many recreational stull at the home was awesome. We got upgraded for free to a slightly larger room which was really nice and unexpected. Nights were quiet and the bed was comfy. Only improvement in my opinion is maybe adding AC (even a small standing unit) may help. The heat made it a bit hard to sleep but nothing a quick cold shower or a dip in the ocean can't fix. Overall, It was a really nice place to stay, we will definitely stay here again when visiting the Big Island/Kona area."

"My family and I had a very nice stay at the Outrigger in Kona. The hotel was close to everything yet far enough away from downtown Kona that it felt peaceful and secluded. We enjoyed the hotel room, the gym, and the beautiful area surrounding the hotel. We had one problem with our air conditioner that was quickly resolved by the hotel staff."
