Three volcanoes divide the main island of Hawaii into two sides: the Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai. The west side of these volcanoes is Kona, meaning leeward. The volcanoes provide a great windbreak for the Kona side of the island, and provide the better sport fishing and water sports on the main island. Kona gets practically no rain and has approximately 300 days of sunshine that make it an outdoor person’s paradise. Kona offers plenty to do to keep you busy during the day, and these hotels give plenty of options for a place to rest after a full day of play on the beach.
The Kona division of the Seaside Hotels in Hawaii boasts a garden atmosphere surrounded in native plants on a sun deck that looks out over an ocean view. There are two pools, and anyone looking for beach action can get plenty here with para-sailing, volcano hikes, and dinner cruises. Other local attractions include Kealakekua Bay, local coffee farms, submarine dives, and a monument to Captain Cook. The hotel offers laundry, Internet, air conditioned rooms, refrigerator, balcony or lanai, restaurants and shopping.

The King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel boasts recently renovated rooms, decorated in a style that is reminiscent of the foundation of the islands. Lava flows, coffee leaves and the colors of the rain forest. Green ferns combine with the bright fiery orange of a magma flow. Heavy wood furnishings give each room a rich and elegant appearance. Enjoy a flat screen TV, Kona coffee in a room coffee maker, wireless Internet, and a summertime Lu’au on Kailua Bay beach, the edge of the kingdom of Kamehameha. The Lu’au is a feast and celebration that offers great food, and lots of fun things to do, including learning about island survival aspects such as how to open a coconut, how to hula, or you can get a Polynesian tattoo.
