TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

Price is the only negative to the Courtyard King Kamehameha, but that's a deal-breaker for many travelers; that's why I'm starting with it. The price would've been a deal-breaker for me, too, when I was in my 20s and 30s. AirBnB might be a better place to look before you look here. All right, let's move on to the positives, then. First of all, it's pretty. A country as beautiful as Hawaii deserves hotels as beautiful as this one. The rooms are attractive and come with all the expected hardware (although we would've appreciated a microwave oven to heat our muffins). The facility has a small but pleasant pool and a jacuzzi. Very nice fitness center. The beach is tiny but attractive, and a guest can watch the launch of outrigger canoes. Food and drinks were uninspired: mahi-mahi and mai tais, just like literally every other Hawaiian eatery, But hey, if you just walk out the front entrance, there's restaurants all around you. Speaking of the neighborhood outside, I strongly recommend the Hulihe'e Palace, a short walk away along the attractive sea wall. Excellent historical site. Overall, this place is well-worth the premium price for those of us who are lucky enough to afford it.

Great location within walking distance of many bars, restaurants and shops. Nice pool and many stores in the hotel. Room was nice and bathroom was good sized. The beach is smaller than the photos would indicate but we did not use it, looked like many families enjoyed it.

We had a fantastic time, and no issues at all. They were the co-sponsors and site for the Hawai’i Kuauli Pacific & Asia Cultural Festival. That was an amazing event! We also booked our room with breakfasts included--that is the way to go! Because it is in the downtown of Kailua-Kona, you don't need to rent a car. So many things within walking distance! And tours pick up from the hotel. Some people say the place is dated...those people are spoiled! It was perfect for us.

This is a nice hotel located right on Kamakahonu Beach. We really enjoyed the Hawaiian artwork and artifacts on display throughout the property. There are several cafes onsite along with an ABC store that is open late. The location is great, just a short walk from all the restaurants and shops on Ali'i drive. The room itself was in great shape, with ocean/Hawaiian decor and a cool balcony. It was perfectly clean and the beds were very comfy. Service was quick and friendly. It was a little pricey, but given the amenities and location, it's worth it and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

This was a great hotel, wonderful location, and a perfect place for our family. The only issue was that housekeeping only visited our room once over the full week (when we were told they would come every two days). As a result, we ran out of bathroom amenities (toilet paper, body wash gel, etc).
