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.

“On par for the Big Island”
Aug 19, 2026164macc
This is about as good as you get for a resort feel in Kona. That said, it’s nothing special. I’d give high marks for water access, they have their own beach/bay. Also high marks for the pool and fitness center. The front desk personnel are friendly and accommodating. The cleaning staff and maintenance were accessible and prompt. The poolside bartenders were fantastic however the roving wait staff was green and really didn’t understand how to take care of guests. If you get an ocean view room, just slightly more cost, you will be happier. Each morning and evening we saw the canoe club take out 6-person outriggers. There is a luau on site, and don’t be surprised to wake to a Norwegian cruise ship offshore. The rooms are typically Hawaiian meaning they have “icky” carpet and the linen, though clean, could use some bleach to bring them back to white. As I said, it’s par for the course in this area. If
You’re looking to stay here for a week, don’t. Fly to another island for a couple days. The big island has volcanoes which is a day at best unless you plan to hike your butt off.

Raw sewage emerging from front lawn with horrible odor in front of hotel. Storm drain hasn't been cleared in years. This has been an ongoing issue at this property for a very long time and sewage leakage more than likely contaminating lagoon and ocean nearby. Ocean water also contaminated from cruise ships and their water taxis as docking pier very close to hotel. Lagoon has evidence of diesel fuel. Hotel has an overall dark and depressing feel. Its dated and in disrepair. Room AC cannot cool down rooms. Old windows allow outside heat to enter rooms. Room doors allow hallway lights to leak into rooms at night. Shower glass doors loose and flimsy. Hot water takes forever to reach bathroom. Kitchen exhaust enters ocean side rooms. Large sliding wooden shutterto block window light difficult to move.
“Awful experience”
Aug 14, 2026John P
Terrible experience. We have been coming here since the early 2000’s, and this place has really gone downhill. They have not kept up on the maintenance, and everything is falling apart. We checked in to a room that promptly started having a leak from the bathroom ceiling. This was an air conditioner leak. We had to then change rooms, and about 3 days later the air conditioner in the new room stopped working. They did not bother to investigate but said they would set an appointment with the HVAC company the following day. AC randomly started working again about an hour before HVAC arrived the following evening. They walked in, stated “it feels like it’s working” and did not check ANYTHING. Then, 2 days later, AC once again stopped working and guess what, leaking in the bathroom ceiling again. They offered to switch our rooms yet again, but at that point we decided to spend the remainder of our vacation at a different resort, and will no longer be returning to Kona Coast resort. Highly recommend going elsewhere.
