Top Magic Sands Beach Hotel Reviews

Royal Kona Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I arrived about 3 hours prior to check in time and the resort staff was kind enough to allow me to check in early. The room was clean and comfortable, balcony with a gorgeous ocean view and strong AC in the rooms if desired. Close to all downtown Kona restaurants and shops. The resort restaurant also had great food and cocktails and frequent fun live music and events. I traveled alone as a female here and felt completely safe in the area and walking around hotel property even after dark. Fitness center on site also was clean and had a lot of machines and equipment for a hotel gym. Truly enjoyed my stay here at the Royal Kona Resort."

Kona Coast Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Recommend"

White Sands Village #217 Perfect Tropical Escape

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place to stay only complaint the second bathroom didn't have hot water"

Island Elegance Prime Spot

8/10 Good

"It is really very close to the beach, you can even walk it.i also love the place itself. very quiet. The only thing really is the air con is very loud that you can’t sleep! That is the tie breaker. Either you sleep in comfort with the loud sound of the air conditioner blasting loud into your ear or hot but quiet during the night. I always end up turning off the air and just taking off my clothes under the covers Lol. Also the small window by the back porch doesn’t have a curtain so the neighbor can actually see you! It’s ok bec I’m a solo traveler but if it’s a couple there’s going to be no privacy at all."

Sunset Shores - Unit B Kauipoho

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Room was different than expected with pictures shown. They are a mix of rooms. Once I figured out some things, all was amazing. Quiet. Safe. Comfortable.Great location for exploring the island. Walkable small beaches. Received a lot of different emails about the property and checking in. It made it confusing but figured it out. Its kind of like staying in a friend's guest room. Never really saw anyone."

Oceanfront Condo 117 in Kailua-kona

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great! Chaos and towels to use at the beach! Umbrella came in handy to use at 2step beach; and the cooler was a life saver! We bought ice packs to use, and left them in the cooler for the next guests! Couldn't have been more satisfied with the condo! (Other than maybe a pizza cutter for those buying cheap frozen pizzas for dinner)."
