Kailua-Kona hotel rooms a the Independent

"The room was beyond fantastic, great view, very roomy and extra clean all the time. All the employees were very helpful and friendly. Kevin at the pool bar gave great information about local hot spots and restaurants, he is an exceptional employee. The valets were very helpful too."

"The resort, staff and amenities were all outstanding. We visited this resort back in 1997 and returned 2026 and really enjoyed our time there."

"Staff was very friendly. Great food in restaurants "

"Love this place! Great location "

"Happy"

"Room very clean and spacious. Staff was courteous and kind. Within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Nice you didn’t have to find a park and constantly have to pay for parking. Charged $15.00 a day which is very cheap for the location of the hotel to downtown. I would stay here again. "

"Staff were fantastic, and helpful whenever we needed something for the unit. "

"Owner was very accommodating. Room was beautifully appointed. We had a peaceful lanai to have coffee and snacks. We were surprised to find a microwave, small refrigerator, coffee maker and toaster for use during our stay. Walking distance to a snorkeling beach. "

"Rooms and facilities were very clean. The staff was wonderful!! Our room was spacious, had everything we needed, and had a beautiful view of the ocean, perfect for watching sunsets from the balcony. The area is safe and close to shipping and restaurants. LOVED our stay here. Will be back when we come back to the Big Island."
