Maybe one of the better options to stay in Kona but the bathrooms are dated. Housekeeping is only every 3 days. The bed is comfortable to sleep in. Okay if you don't plan to stay in the room much.

Pros (+) The staff was its usual nice self.
Cons (-) I only get a room at the King Kam for Brew Fest, I live in Kona. After brew fest was cancelled, I decided to use the room anyway. Have a night on the town without driving. $364 for a 2nd story room, at check in I asked for free parking since the event had been cancelled. I was told "sorry, no" at check in. No special considerations from management whatsoever.
Pros (+) The amenities were wonderful. Location perfect
Pros (+) Wonderful pool-side bar Proximity to the village area Great luau (on NYE) Helpful concierge Large well stocked sundries shop Private snorkeling beach/water Super pool Across the street from Splashes' restaurant (a must try).
Cons (-) Nothing...great place to stay.
Cons (-) Now charges a $22 amenity fee along with a $25 daily parking fee. Just changed a few months ago, and was one of the last places in Kailua-Kona that hadn’t followed the resort fee trend.
Pros (+) The hotel was very clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly.
Cons (-) We thought the parking fees were steep.
Pros (+) Water front with activities right there in hotel
Cons (-) Not complementary breakfast too pricy for what it was !!
