Hotels with shuttle in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

"Food was great and most of the staff was very friendly. Kalena the pool attendant was extremely kind and went above and beyond on keeping the pool area clean and helped us with any questions aswell as recommendations for things to do on the island. I had a few small issues with my room but when i addressed these concerns with the front desk they went above and beyond to accommodate us and upgrade of room. Very attentive and understanding. This hotel is ongoing renovations so there was some things that were quite outdated but the hotel staff made sure help make our trip amazing "

"Family friendly. Clean."

"Overall this is nice property 8/10. Clean well manicured botanical grounds with a quiet large patio area with AMAZING SUSNET Views. Soothing crashing waves all day and night however NO immediate ocean swimming or beach access (drive / walk for that) No onsite food / bar NOT GOOD was having to punch in a 6 to10 digit code on a keypad EVERY TIME FOR EVERY pool gate, the 1 elevator and our condo door. With multiple people in our group this became VERY frustrating. Been decades since we have stayed anywhere without a key card / digital entry. First desk staff contact with a male employee 👎 was dismissive and unpleasant to say the least. He was flat out RUDE however the 2 ladies later that afternoon were Fantastic! No parking issues and this location and it is about a 5 minute drive to all the local shops, restaurants / bars and night life. Would stay here again but only after exploring other priorities in the Kona area. "

"Holua Resort is a comfortable, family‑friendly property that delivers a relaxing stay on the Big Island. The grounds are lush and well maintained, and the pool and surrounding facilities are inviting and peaceful. Our two‑story unit was **spacious** and thoughtfully laid out, with plenty of room to spread out, a functional kitchen, and comfortable sleeping areas that worked well for a longer stay. That said, the décor and finishes do feel a bit dated, so manage your expectations if you’re looking for something very modern. The one real downside was the layout of the resort itself: parking can be quite far from the units, and we found ourselves hauling luggage a long way in the rain, through areas with standing water, which was inconvenient on arrival and departure. Overall, though, the friendly atmosphere, quiet setting, and roomy accommodations made it a very pleasant stay and a place we’d consider returning to with just a bit of logistical planning."

"It is very hard to locate the property. The management said that even Uber sometimes has trouble finding it. The pools are small but very clean. The rooms were huge. Not at all crowded. Definitely need a car. Would definitely come back."
