We've stayed here for the last 3 years since it was renovated and it has always been a great experience--even during the tsunami in 2011. Since Marriott took over last year, everything has been superb. The staff is kind and courteous, rooms are spacious and clean and the location is the best in Kailua-Kona town. The updated infinity pool and... More

Location is great. Loved the Big Island. Loved the people. So kind and helpful. Could walk everywhere and the Luau at the hotel was really fun. The entertainment was exceptional. Food and drink were okay. The breakfast buffet was good and the food and drink at the pool bar were very good. Would stay there again for sure.

This resort is very well appointed. It seems to have gone under a recent renovation and it shows. I am a handicapped traveler and found the hotel handicap friendly. The hotel restaurant had the best Prime Rib we have had. The staff was very friendly. The pool and bay were great for swimming and relaxing. Would definately recommend. We had... More

Our 2nd stay at the King Kamehameha after an absence of 9 years, a lot has changed in this time. Now the King is as good as any other top hotel, well maintained and the staff friendly & helpful. We again stayed in a high ocean view room with a view over the harbour, beach & Lu'au, good room size... More

The King Kam [as locals like to call it] is the "old lady" of Kona. Because it's one of the earliest hotels in the area, it sits on a million dollar view. Right on the bay, and right at one end of town, It can't get any better than this. My first morning there, I got up early to take... More

We stayed at King Kamehameha for 5 days this past week and totally enjoyed every minute. The pool was great and we also attended the luau held on the property. Service was great and everyone there was very accommodating with constant alohas and they were ready to assist us in any way. We will definitely stay there again when we... More

Luau started off really nice, food was pretty good............then the rain came shortly after dinner, as some were eating dessert and during the fire dance show. Little less than 2 hours the luau was over. My family and I are already soaking wet and start heading to the hotel. Daniel, one of the hotel worker, sees us and apologizes for... More

I live on the Big Island and go to Kona couple times a year. Kaamaina rate was good. I use to stay at the hotel as a child a lot and haven't been back since after they renovated. Fee for parking. The room was nice, the beds were comfy, a lot of pillows on each bed. The view was a... More

On our first trip to Hawaii, we decided to spend 10 days at the King Kamehameha. What a treat! Room, surroundings and staff were excellent. We rented a car and were greeted every morning by Robyn, their parking lot attendant - her radiance was a great way to start each day! Hotel is located right in heart of the shops... More
