Top 'Ai'ōpio Beach Hotel Reviews

Oceanfront Home | Gated Kona Bay Estates | AC in Bedrooms. Blue Water

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very nice stay. Had a wonderful time with family and enjoyed the house and the pool but we did experience maintenance and pest control showing up unexpectedly, coming through grate with my children in pool gave them quite a scare. Cleaning pool and changing hinges, and asking if they can spray with us there enjoying the out doors. Which is great for pool cleaning and maintenance but we really should have known a head of time. Other than that everything else was great."

Royal Kona Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The location is absolutely amazing being right on the ocean. The restaurant is always really good and I’ve been going there on and off since 2009and have never been disappointed. Nice pool space. Hard to leave."

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It had a rare beach. The food at the pool side restaurant was excellent. The hotel was very accommodating with late checkout. The location was convenient to good restaurants and shopping."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Kailua-Kona by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My family had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful. Homeowners were very kind and helpful. The people at the gate were friendly. I felt safe in a gated neighborhood. I loved that the home was close to so many great things on Ali'i Dr like restaurants, small shops and ocean diner cruise. Several days we walked up and down the street enjoying all of it. The home is in a great location."

Exotic Kona Bay Hawaii Beachfront Tropical Paradise Stunning Home.

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property! Felt very safe and secure. Only concern was no air conditioning. I'm told that is okay under normal Hawaii conditions but with El Nino and the hurricanes it was very hot with high humidity. Florida Summer Hot!"

Spacious 4-bedroom house plus bunk room with WiFi and AC in charming Kailua-Kona

10/10 Excellent

"This property is a fantastic house for a family vacation. The host Marco did an excellent job of welcoming us and answering all our questions. It is an excellent location within walking distance of Kona center. We would definitely stay here again."

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!"
