5/5 Excellent
"This is a fantastic hotel in a lovely area of Kona. The rooms are great, clean and specious.
Having the beach next to the hotel is a bonus and if you love snorkeling then you’ll be in your element with so many varieties of fish in the beautiful white sand bay on the back of the hotel.
There’s also lots to do with for entertainment with a daily calendar of activities for everyone. The main activity to experience however is the Traditional Leau at the historical location also in the hotel’s grounds.
Breakfast is absolutely fabulous too with a great selection of food options both hot & cold.
The only downside of our trip to the Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel was that we were not able to use the swimming pool due to it being closed for renovations.
Otherwise this is a great hotel.

"This property was well past my expectations in a good way. Very peaceful and welcoming. You can walk to the shopping center and other beach front resorts with ease. Be prepared to have some type of vehicle whether it’s car, scooter, electric bike etc since most of the attractions are far from this location. "
A verified traveller stayed at Kanaloa at Kona by OUTRIGGER
"We loved that this property was so perfectly located. it was in a quieter area, but so close for walking down to shops and restaurants. Our condo had an amazing view and was so close to the pool. The room was great, plenty of space for my whole family to have their own separate space and the beds were very comfortable! That’s always one of the things you worry about, is uncomfortable beds, but these were great! We had no complaints at all about this resort. We would definitely stay again!"

"Needed something not too expensive because we had to get up super early to fly out. We weren’t expecting much, but this little Hotel was perfect and clean. We got in a nice walk at night before we left by some cool places we missed earlier in the week. "
