However, not to be nitpicky, it didn't have a sofa and the bathroom requires leaving the room. Not the end of the world, but a consideration when choosing a room. I didn't care for it. Close to to the beach, a nice bar and restaurants nearby. Clean. The staff forgot we were coming (surprise!) When we arrived, but seemed like a nice kid. ##### Dean Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hilton-Hawaiian-Village-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h13857.Hotel-Information) > > [Kanaloa at Kona by OUTRIGGER](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Kanaloa-At-Kona-By-OUTRIGGER.h28501.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle Kanaloa at Kona](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Kanaloa-At-Kona-By-Castle.h11518173.Hotel-Information) > > [Kona Reef, A Raintree Vacation Club Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Kona-Reef.h7896575.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Waikiki-Beach.h2766.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twin Fin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-The-Twin-Fin-Hotel.h34498.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Mauna Loa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Mauna-Loa-Village.h1060311.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Waikiki-Beach-Resort-Spa.h19988.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-King-Kamehamehas-Kona-Beach-Hotel.h21741.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Royal Sea Cliff](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Royal-Sea-Cliff.h1060302.Hotel-Information) > > [Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club 3202](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Keauhou-Kona-Surf-Racquet-Club-3202.h35659576.Hotel-Information) > > [Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Wailea-Beach-Resort-Marriott.h20303.Hotel-Information) > > [Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Moana-Surfrider.h15534.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h13791.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Kona](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Kona-Hawaiian-Resort.h1060278.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Maui-At-Wailea.h14336.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Sea Cliff Kona by OUTRIGGER](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Royal-Sea-Cliff-Kona-By-OUTRIGGER.h7733.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Reef-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h23249.Hotel-Information) > > [Aston Kona by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Aston-Kona-By-The-Sea.h19443.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Wailea Maui, A Waldorf Astoria Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Grand-Wailea-Maui.h7867.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Sheraton-Waikiki.h7385.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hilton-Waikiki-Beach.h25227.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Kea Lani Maui](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Fairmont-Kea-Lani-Maui.h8765.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kona Bali Kai](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Hotel-Kona-Bali-Kai.h36447226.Hotel-Information) > > [Holua Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Holua-Resort.h890813.Hotel-Information) > > [Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Waikiki-Beach-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h5306.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Kailua-Kona by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Kailua-Kona.h7714581.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Kona Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Outrigger-Kona-Resort-And-Spa.h49175916.Hotel-Information) > > ['Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Alohilani-Resort-Waikiki-Beach.h21781.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Kona Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Royal-Kona-Resort.h25276.Hotel-Information)
