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

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
