I was pleasantly surprised when I stayed here March 2006 for several nights. more on Yahoo! Travel

Royal Kona Resort Oceanfront resort, overlooking Kailua Bay and ideally located just steps from cosy Kailua-Kona. more on VirtualTourist

The location is great, you can walk to dinner if you want in Kailua, or there are some pricier in-hotel restaurants. more on Travelocity.com

This beautiful hotel on the ocean was built in 1968. more on igougo

Parking was $10, but we were easily able to find parking on the street right in front of the hotel each night. more on Epinions.com

Just from reading the previous reviews, I had to say something. I can tell that, not many of the reviewers know the islands, or what they offer. They (reviewers) compare a discount hotel against what? The "Hilton", if you think that ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Our balcony faced a night spot, so was loud music into the late hours and not much insulation against it from our room. Not a very good night's sleep! It was within walking distance of the restaurants and shopping, which was nice ... more on Yahoo! Travel
