Book a hotel near Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority, Kailua-Kona

"We had a fantastic stay at this charming apartment! The location was perfect for exploring the town and the apartment itself was clean and homely. It’s part of what I believe to be 4 apartments. We didn’t encounter any issues with others living there or surrounding homes. Make note that if you are planning on visiting in the warmer months that with the windows being open you will be hearing the Kokee frogs throughout the night and the roosters early in the morning. Only problem was a WiFi problem and it was easily resolved the following morning. But all in all we’d absolutely recommend her place to anyone visiting Kona. "

"A room with a large balcony so you can really enjoy the sea and breezes makes the Royal Kona a very special experience. I’m glad to see the renovations going on that will keep this hotel a landmark on the Kona coast. "

"One of the most unique properties that we have stayed at. It was calming, serene and relaxing. Linda was incredibly kind and helpful and she made a delicious breakfast. Would recommend and would stay again. "

"We had a wonderful stay here! I was a little nervous about no AC but being up the mountain it was beautiful. When we lost power for a short time they immediately reached out to us to keep us informed. If I’m ever back on the big island again I will definitely stay here again. My nephew loved our friendly balcony geckos. "

"First time to Kona and this house was perfect. We have a family of 6 so it fit us perfectly with an open concept and plenty of outdoor space I would highly recommend and will probably stay here again the next time."

"If you're looking for an authentic island vibe, this is the perfect place to stay.Sandra was a fantastic host, and the property—nestled up in the mountains—offered stunning ocean views and lush, tropical surroundings. The outdoor kitchen gave us a true taste of island living, and the area was filled with beautiful wildlife. It was incredibly private and peaceful, a true escape.Our favorite part of the day was enjoying breakfast outside, taking in the breathtaking scenery and listening to the natural sounds around us.Highly recommend this magical getaway!"
