We enjoyed our stay at the Kona Coast Resort. I would recommend calling ahead to ask for a 3rd floor unit. (No elevators though.) Even though we did that, I still had to ask again when we checked in, but we were able to get one. The resort knew it was our honeymoon and gave us a complimentary box of macnut chocolates! :)
We loved the amenities at the resort. Multiple pools and jacuzzis, places to play games and sports, a nice small gym, and lots of nice BBQ grills cleaned daily. We didn’t eat at the restaurant by the pool, but we did get some delicious strong drinks from there. Our unit was clean and spacious with a super comfy bed. We cooked everyday in the kitchen and sat on the lanai regularly for morning coffee and breakfast.
Kailua-Kona is about a 15-20 min drive away depending on traffic but has some good restaurants, beach parks, and bars.
Recommend staying here and booking with Drew!
