Top Makalawena Beach Hotel Reviews

Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beyond lovely! A spectacular resort."

Charming Kailua-kona Apartment Near Hiking & Golf!

10/10 Excellent

"The place was perfect, the time fell on the major storm and Don made sure my daughter’s stay was safe. Don gave her a late check to accommodate her late flight. He stayed in communication with me throughout my daughter’s stay. She loved the place, close to some great hiking, coffee plantations. Not far from the beaches and airport. Highly recommended. "

Kailua-kona House w/ Balcony & Ocean Views!

10/10 Excellent

"The rental house was in good condition, and it was obvious there are some improvements underway. The exterior of the rental had just been painted (the paint was still drying) when we arrived. The interior was very well kept with more than enough space for the four of us in our family. The location was tucked down into a small residential neighborhood approximately 15 minutes to downtown Kona."
