Top Old Kona Airport State Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Royal Kona Resort

8/10 Good

"Restaurant and bar on property had amazing views and the food was great! Especially breakfast. Hotel rooms sufficient and clean, just need an update eventually. Room views incredible."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Kailua-Kona by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very well maintained."

Kona Isle B31

10/10 Excellent

"Made for a perfect vacation!"

Kona Islander Vacation Club

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve been staying at Kona Islander since 2008 and have stayed in several different units over the years. We keep coming back because we love the location and atmosphere, and the staff during this visit were absolutely wonderful, friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We had a great stay overall. Our main disappointment with this particular unit was that it did not have a hot plate or small stovetop. One of the reasons we choose Kona Islander instead of a traditional hotel is the ability to prepare meals during longer stays. We stayed for 10 days and went to Costco planning to make many of our breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in the room, but with only a microwave, we couldn’t do that as planned. This unit also had only a small refrigerator, while other units we’ve stayed in at the property had a full-size refrigerator and freezer. That was less important to us, but worth mentioning. We would absolutely stay at Kona Islander again. We just hope the owner considers adding a hot plate or small stovetop to this unit. That one addition would have made an otherwise wonderful stay even better."

Kona Shores#130

10/10 Excellent

"Kona Shores was the perfect spot for our getaway. It was IMMACULATE and had everything we needed. I did think our unit was be closer to the shore on the property, but it was on the front of the property on the main road. Still, it was still quiet enough with the wind unit AC running. I will say the bathroom door was not not very private, so this studio unit is best for people traveling together who are not shy and know each other quite well!"

Casa De Emdeko 204

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic property, very clean and maintenance people constant taking care of it. Gorgeous salt water pool, multiple grills, and beautiful place to hang out and eat what you cook with gas tiki torches creating a luxurious vibe at night."
