Courtyard King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel
Big Island, Hawaii
3.5 stars
Located on the grounds where Hawaii’s most famous king once ruled, this is a stunning hotel, contemporary in feel with top notch amenities. Overlooking one of the best snorkelling bays in Hawaii, it’s a must for water sports fans as well as those who simply enjoy a beautiful beach to lie on. Shops, restaurants and bars are all within walking distance but there’s plenty to keep you entertained on-site. During high season, the Island Breeze Lu’au is one of the Big Island’s most popular events. As well as a sumptuous Hawaiian buffet to feast on, with dishes cooked in a traditional underground oven, dramatic Hawaiian and Polynesian entertainment ensures an unforgettable evening for all. Before the feasting and dancing even begins, outrigger canoes carrying the royal court glide past the ancient Hawaiian temple on the seaward border of the hotel, an incredible spectacle you’ll want to capture on camera! Honu’s Restaurant is also a treat, overlooking the beachfront and complete with firepits so you can linger long after the sun has set. For more casual fare, Billfish Bar serves dishes such as calamari ‘fritte’ and seafood cobb salad as well as signature cocktails. To work off all that delicious food, there’s a recently opened tennis centre with two championship hard courts as well as hiking and biking through glorious state parks.

The resort itself was very nice. The grounds were extremely well kept, the décor was fitting for the property and tastefully done, and overall, for a Marriott property, I was impressed with the appearance and amenities.
Unfortunately, the customer service was a major disappointment.
During our stay, one of my shirts accidentally went over the balcony and landed on a roof below. I called the front desk and asked if someone could retrieve it. No one ever followed up with me. I called again the next day and was told that it would be retrieved, yet once again, nobody followed through or delivered it to my room. I ultimately left without the shirt. That should have been a very simple request to resolve.
The first night, the smoke alarm in our room began flashing an extremely bright white strobe light periodically throughout the night. It was bright enough to illuminate the room and was very disruptive to our sleep. I contacted the front desk and was told that this was "normal" and that they could not do anything about it.
The following night, the exact same thing happened. This time I recorded it and showed the video to a manager. He appeared genuinely baffled by how intense the flashing was. Clearly, what we were experiencing was not something that should simply have been dismissed as normal.
I also had an interaction with one of the front desk employees whose response and demeanor were noticeably grumpy. It did not appear to be personally directed toward me, but it certainly did not reflect the level of hospitality I would expect from a Marriott resort.
There were several positives. The Honu breakfast was good, the bar was enjoyable, and the pool and spa were great. The resort grounds were probably one of the strongest aspects of the property.
The bed, however, was quite hard and uncomfortable for my preference.
I have stayed at many Marriott hotels and resorts over the years. This property has a lot going for it physically, but the service side needs significant improvement. A beautiful property can only carry the experience so far. Better communication, follow-through, and hospitality from the front desk staff would have made a substantial difference in our stay.
Loved our oceanfront view room in the West Tower! The balcony is large enough to comfortably accommodate two chairs and a small table - perfect place for morning coffee and evening sips. Matt, Hihona, Tisha and Rehna provided first class service at the front desk. They noted we were there for a special occasion and were so gracious and accommodating, making sure our room was perfect. The location made restaurants and shops easily walkable, and we enjoyed having the public pier and beach at our doorstep. Would definitely return.
“Highly recommended”

Rooms and amenities were fantastic along with the concierge for booking adventures. Pool area and beach were amazing except the pool water was a little too warm the first few days. Automated parking lot cameras need the be upgraded to recognize license plate for entering and exiting.
