Wai‘ula‘ula at Mauna Kea
(808) 880-3490
62-3600 Amaui Pl, Kohala
These two-story condo buildings in a gated complex were completed in 2006 and house four units each (and a couple of duplexes not in the rental pool). The units are very spacious and richly furnished. Wolf […]
Mahana House Country Inn
(808) 937-9245
29-3825 Pueo Ihi Rd, Hakalau
This small inn is set along the gorgeous Hamakua Coast, 15 miles north of Hilo in a relaxing, rural area (cell phone reception may be spotty and they don’t have phones in rooms). If you’re […]
Volcano Village Lodge
(808) 985-9500
19-4183 Road E, Volcano Village
What a find! This inn is small, just over an acre, and was originally built as an artist’s workshop, but was converted in 2006 with buildings added over time. The stand-alone rooms are set […]
Kona by the Sea
(855) 747-0763 or (808) 327-2300
75-6106 Alii Dr, Kailua-Kona
Adequately furnished condos (though some could use updating), quiet, with pleasant grounds. The pool has an adjacent sandy area that’s kind of nice. The oceanfront saltwater pool mentioned in Sights section is next […]
Manago Hotel
(808) 323-2642
82-6155 Mamalahoa Hwy (11), Captain Cook
Not-too-close, not-too-far from the more touristy Kona, this hotel was built in 1917 by a Japanese mail-order bride and her husband (with an initial investment of $100) as a restaurant with futons for their […]
Kona Alii
(877) 782-5662 or (808) 334-0548
75-5782 Kuakini Hwy, Kailua-Kona
This condo building has the look and feel of a city high-rise, and the units are adequate. Floors four and above are better (traffic below is farther away especially on rooms facing the […]
Volcano Inn
(808) 967-7773
19-3820 Old Volcano Rd, Volcano Village
Visit website
This resort is an excellent choice in Volcano. Don’t confuse this with other properties with similar names. The grounds are lush. The rooms are not overly Hawaiian in decor or updated, but they are very clean. Though the rooms vary greatly in […]
Villas at Mauna Kea
(808) 880-3490
Kamahoi Pl, Kohala
Completed in 1982, these 21 single-story individually gated condo duplexes look like stand-alone homes but are attached by one common wall. Drive up and you’ll feel like you‘ve entered a 1950s-style home complete with garage and […]
Holiday Inn Express Resort
(888) 465-4329 or (808) 329-2599
75-146 Sarona Rd, Kailua-Kona
A three-story resort completed in late 2014 sitting behind Uncle Billy’s in Kona town. This is a familiar brand, and the one here is no different except they used a slightly more Hawaiian […]
Kona Seaside Hotel
(800) 560-5558 or (808) 329-2455
75-5646 Palani Rd, Kailua-Kona
This hotel is located across the street from Kailua Bay in the heart of Kailua-Kona. The buildings, built over time several decades ago, are immaculate but very dated. Tidiness is a welcome obsession […]
