Kona Seaside  

In the heart of historic Kailua-Kona on Hawaii’s Kona Coast. This family-friendly tropical garden lodge fronts a vibrant waterfront near Mokuaikaua Church and Hulihee Palace, and is less than a mile from Kahaluu Beach. Shopping and restaurants are an easy walk away.

Renovated in 2004, the property pairs island charm with modern comfort across a main building and an annexe. There are 188 rooms and villas; standard rooms have en-suite bathrooms, two double beds (king on request), remote TVs, refrigerators, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and most open onto large private balconies. Villas offer fully equipped kitchens for longer stays.

Two refreshing freshwater pools, three hot tubs, a sauna, a sun deck and a tennis court set the tone for relaxed island days. On-site shopping, a launderette and convenient parking (nominal fee) make stays easy. Wake up on your balcony and step straight into Kona life.

Two air-conditioned on-site restaurants serve guests, and the lively waterfront dining scene is within walking distance for more local options.
