Comment from the hotels management Posted: 22-Sep-09 Thank you for your recent stay with us.. The only tour we took was a boat trip by Sea Quest. We loved our quiet newly renovated room with very comfortable Simmons bed! The employee’s were all very nice! However, this is a old hotel and has a musty smell in lobby, the swimming pool was under construction, the beach cove is filled with kayaks/canoes and fisherman! Other than that it’s a good place! Travelers tip on recreational activities Get a rental car with your flight/hotel package and save! Drive to Hilo and check out Akaka Falls and the Botanical Gardens! Next visit the National Volcano park you can drive around and see all the past craters and walk through a Lava Cave! Another day drive to south point to check out Place of Refuge and visit the painted church.Great Location! If you’re looking for a great Kona location this is it! It’s across the street from Alli Drive which has several resteraunts(QUINN’S our favorite) and shopping village.

Hotel Management, General Manager. We look forward to welcoming you back to the King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel on your next visit. Along with our room upgrades we are adding a variety of shops to our mall area to better serve our guests.

We apologize that our pool was closed for renovations during your stay. We are glad to hear that our hotel was convenient for you and delighted that you enjoyed our newly renovated rooms. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 17-Sep-09 We would like to thank you for your recent stay with us. Our room had been redone and was nice, but the rest of the hotel (lobby, mall area, grounds) were very run down. There was a tiny beach, which was better than nothing, but a pool was very important to us. When we arrived, we were informed the pool was closed.Good location, but disappointing stay We chose this hotel this time because of the location, because it was within walking distance to town.

Hotel Management, General Manager. Thank you again for your patronage and we hope to see you again on your next visit to Kailua Kona, Hawaii. Our pool and Jacuzzi will be brand new and will re open by the end of September. We are striving to quickly complete our hotel renovations as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused you. We are currently undergoing total renovations to our hotel. We are pleased that you enjoyed our brand new rooms. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 22-Sep-09 Thank you for your comments about your recent stay at the King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel. I suggest contacting the hotel to inquire on the progress of the renovations before booking. In conclusion: Based on the lack of amenities due to the incomplete renovations, I would have been better off paying a little more for a hotel not in the midst of renovations. For the inconvenience, the hotel did provide a $50 gift card for a future stay but don’t think I’ll be in town before the card expiration date, thus the card was useless to me. Swimming pool and jacuzzi were also closed for renovations(I didn’t know this at time of booking and would not have booked if known). All the other retail spaces were empty and vacant. Only two shops open for business(1 sundries and 1 footwear). Negatives: As of 8-21-09, hotel renovations were only half done and only one wing was complete. Location was convenient for walking to various shops and restaurants. Positives: Newly renovated room was clean and comfortable with large flat screen TV....Maybe after renovations.

Hotel Management, General Manager. We would appreciate the opportunity and it would be our pleasure to have you as a guest here again at King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel. Again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that you experienced at our hotel. Our hotel is undergoing total renovations at this time to improve all rooms and public areas of our hotel to better service our guests. We are working diligently and as quickly as possible to complete all renovations.

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our newly renovated rooms. We greatly appreciate the time you have taken to share your comments and concerns about our hotel. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 17-Sep-09 We would like to thank you for your recent stay with us. Travelers tip on dining fortunately there are several very nice restuarants in Kona but don’t wait too late as everything, including ABC stores close by 10. Beach was hard sand and there were fishermen along side of swimmmers and street people laying and yelling around. About 4 ft from commode. I wonder who located the toilet paper. The dining room was closed and only opened for one night a buffet, UGH and the view of the wing being remodelled had toilets on the lanai. Problem was that the jackhammering to remove the pool and spa had just start right under our room. The newly remodelled wing I was in, the rooms were very nice.Construction condition not informed of prior to arrival.

Comment from the hotels management Posted: 23-Jun-09 Thank you very much for taking the time to share your great comments about our hotel. Travelers tip on saving a few bucks One of the more economical hotels in the area.as a stepping stone to all other area activities... But, for now, the hotel completely met our expectations, ie, a clean and comfortable place to sleep. When that is accomplished, one can assume that rates will increase. The hotel intent is to return to that grandure. 1 in this area on a grand scale. At one time, this hotel was no. The staff was excellent and conveniently located in Kona.Met our expectations This hotel is under renovations and with such, results in an ’unfinished’ hotel, but, non-the-less, a good and economical hotel.

You can use wireless for free, as well as print or use their computers. Travelers tip for business travelers Internet is down every other day but there is a very tourist friendly place "Beach Dog" right across the street. The biggest disadvantage is the fact that the rooms are outdated, though when I was there there were some renovations going on in the West tower of the building. It’s close to Kona downtown and is right by the Peir, some historic places and even has a little sandy beach.Close to everything but needs massive renovation KK’s biggest advantage is its location.

Comment from the hotels management Posted: 7-May-09 Thank you for your recent stay with us and we appreciate the time you have taken to share your comments concerning your recent stay with us. The people that work there really seem to try and make it nice, honestly though, they don’t have much to work with. Pretty disgusting really. Pool and spa very dirty, sunbeds also - there is thick grease on everything from suntan oil. Will be great once the remodel is done - they also need to revitalize the convenience/shopping downstairs - there is nothing there. Decor very shabby and cheap rather than economy. It’s a shame that in such a great location this hotel has obviously been neglected for a long time.Needs a remodel Looks like they are planning on a remodel but probably should have done this a long time ago.

Hotel Management, General Manager. We hope to have the opportunity to have you as a guest in the future.

If you’re looking for a luxury resort hotel where you spend all your time at the resort, this is not for you. The staff is top notch, the mattress was firm, the room was very clean, and the location is excellent. Remodeling is under way in one wing.A Good Place To Stay in Kailua-Kona The facility has obviously seen better days.

Travelers tip on dining Great dining and shopping within walking distance to hotel. Perfect for our one night stay.Actually has small protected beach.The maintenance worker remembered my 7 year old was celebrating her birthday.Great location,great luau, very nice and helpful staff.Great value In process of much needed renovations.

. Daily specials are sometimes the best deal in town. Prices are reasonable. Great view, awesome food and nice people. Travelers tip on dining We suggest you visit Splashers for the best food in town.We suggest you visit Splashers for the best food in town. If you don’t stay in the room much and are on a budget you can’t beat it. One elevator was out all week. Ice machine on our floor was out all week. Luau was lame. The restaurant was empty every time we walked by it so we passed. If you like to people watch, get on the street side but the rooms are in pretty sad shape. They are doing a remodel of the west tower, if you can you want the new rooms. Go uptown or downtown in walking distance.Perfect Location but needs a Facelift Can’t beat the location.

Comment from the hotels management Posted: 24-Apr-09 We are glad to hear that our hotel was convenient for you and that you enjoyed our beach. Travelers tip on dining Be sure to go to the Kona Brewery - a tour, great beer and very good food. The bar served the worst Mai-Tai I have ever had. The location and beach area was nice; the pool area was in bad shape with tiles missing and general disrepair. I would not stay there again until the renovation is done. They are renovating part of the hotel and the rest is in pretty bad shape.Find somewhere else.

The airport at Kona sold fresh real flower fragrant leis for 5. Don’t pass up the snorkeling it was fabulous and many beach accesses close by hotel. Travelers tip on recreational activities Don’t prepay for luau’s or activities before you go, there are coupon books everywhere and we got a good deal on the luau from expedia by phone while we were there. Looking forward to visiting them again after the renovations are completed. There was a convenience shop with all needed items and a little mall attached to the hotel.it was fabulous... They have a luau right on the property and I highly recommend it. The staff was friendly and they did keep the hotel clean despite the ongoing repairs. The hotel at the time was under a major refurbishing so the carpet, doors, furniture etc severely needed updating.Perfect location This hotel was right on the beach and a short walk to all the best shopping and dining in Kona.

. It had a GREAT location right at the top of Ali’i drive and a cute little beach. Though while we were there it looked as if they are renovating the whole back tower. Most of the stores and other features were empty.Seen Better Days This hotel was probably real impressive when it was built, but has gone down hill.
