This was an excellent place to stay right on the water in Kona town. You are a little away from the night life, but it’s a 5 minute drive or a 10-15 minute walk. This place is very nice and clean. Other places I’ve stayed in Kona are much smaller for similar price. Disclaimer: in the summer there can be big waves in Hawaii on Kona side, if you don’t like the sound of the ocean this might not be the place for you! I love the sound of the ocean and you are right there with this spot. I opened the doors and enjoyed the roar all night. But if this is not your cup of tea this place might not be as ideal for you. Hope you enjoy your stay at Bali Kai!
