Landmark heart-of-Kailua hotel fully remodeled and still a good deal
Enjoy Big Island aloha spirit in the heart of Kailua town at the landmark King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. Rising just off the waterfront on famed Alii Drive, totally remodeled guest rooms offer bay views and updated amenities including free Wi-Fi Internet access. A large swimming pool, restaurant and bar complete the deal. This hotel was once a royal residence and displays exquisite artifacts that tell the story and celebrate Hawaiian culture. Kona's best shopping and dining is steps away.

Great place to stay

The hotel was great! The staff was excellent as well. I recommend doing the Luau at this hotel, many locals said it was the best. Although it's a fair distance from Volcanoes National Park and the waterfalls (both of which are close to Hilo) the Kig Kam resort is close to many cute shops, art galleries and restaurants. 45 min drive from the best beach on the Big Island - Hapuna. (try the fish tacos!)

Good price for family

The hotel seems to be renovated, new and clean. My room has good beach-view, but, not from front, which is called partilly ocean view room. There is a small beach, safe for children and you can find colorful tropical fish, not many though. The hotel is close to Kona downtown where you can shop and dine.
