Hotel Details

Location

On Alii Drive in central Kailua-Kona, steps from Magic Sands Beach and a 6-minute walk to Hulihee Palace.
The property sits directly on the main road and is within easy walking distance of numerous restaurants, coffee shops, cafes, and boutiques. Kayaking and canoeing are available in the surrounding area. Keāhole Harbor is 7 km away, and Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport is 13 km from the property. The main road location means traffic noise can be heard in front-facing units, but the area is considered safe and ideal for exploring downtown on foot.

Accommodation

Individually owned studios and apartments with a kitchenette, private bathroom, air conditioning, and a patio or balcony.
Rooms feature a fully equipped kitchenette (mini-fridge, microwave, sink, kitchenware), a seating area with a dining table, a cable TV, and a private bathroom. Air conditioning is standard, and some units have a coffee machine. While units vary by owner, many are described as clean and comfortable with a compact layout. Some bathrooms are noted as small. Rooms without a balcony are common. The property is a classic Polynesian-style complex from the 1970s.

Leisure

Outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, garden, and BBQ facilities with loungers.
The pool and hot tub area is surrounded by well-maintained tropical gardens and a grassy area. Several BBQ grills and plenty of sun loungers are available. The hot tub is heated and clean. The grounds, walkways, and seating areas are kept in good condition.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Plan for parking: return to your room before evening to secure a free on-site spot, as spaces fill up quickly.

  • 02

    Check in early to avoid potential delays: the process can involve a lockbox code from a private owner, so allow extra time.

  • 03

    Request an ocean-facing unit if available to maximize the location's main advantage.
