The original Kona Village was swept away in 2011 by a tsunami that began off the coast of Japan. In 2023, after seven years of development, it once again opened its doors... with stunning results that gets our vote for the best resort on the island. It's also...
Finished in 2007, this property has 16 two-story buildings. The grounds are well-manicured, the units are upscale and very nicely furnished. You may or may not be able to park your car in the garage, depending on the owner. Some condos are two-story townhouses;...
