Location
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel is located in the heart of the historic fishing village of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. The small hotel enjoys a fantastic location overlooking one of Hawaii's best snorkeling bays. Newly redesigned rooms reflect Big Island themes: flowing lava, native flora, and the intricate detail of the Hawaiian tattoo. The tile is the soft white and beige of the coral sand. The upholstery is based on the red and brown of the famous local coffee, and the green of the accent colors comes from the many leafy shades of the fern forest. The furniture's contrasting light and dark woods are accented with the elaborate designs of Polynesian tattoos. Beds feature brand-new deluxe bedding, and bathroom upgrades include new tubs, toilets, showers and fixtures, plus deluxe toiletries. Each room features a new flat screen TV, complimentary self-service Kona coffee, and free wireless Internet. On-site amenities include a pool and whirlpool spa, beauty salon, valet laundry and dry cleaning, launderette, convenience store and air-conditioned shops. Honu's Restaurant and the Billfish Bar offer dining and drinking opportunities.
