Beautiful, secluded, peaceful resort. They have their own private beach. The resort has everything, you don't have to leave. more

everything was amazing, great fresh fruit, Breakfast was the best every morning esp. when we had the buffet b/c you could get exactly what you wanted. Dinners were either dressy or casual. They had AMAZING luals and the sweetest people worked there. Very private rooms and very very romantic. Best place to go on a honeymoon or if you just... more

Paradise. Beautiful, quiet, charming resort. Perfect for families. The best part was the children's activities about old Hawaiian culture. Next best part was that all meals included in price (but not drinks or tips). Modest bungalows but they are getting ready for a major re-model. Staff treat you like family. Small beach but quaint and we like that. No night... more

My husband and I have been to Kona Village dozens of times over the years and always loved it. This time, we were terribly disappointed. It started at Reception where the receptionist essentially asked us to pre-pay for our 8 day visit. They already had a 2 night deposit ($1720). They then told us they were going to block $6,000... more

This resort had the nicest employees and best service of anywhere we have ever stayed. They really go out of their way for you and go the extra mile.

We spent 4 days at the Kona Resort a few weeks ago. it is another world....about as far from the normal hotel experience as you can possibly get. You are assigned an individual grass hut......which is actually a nice hotel room once inside, though without aircon, tv, phone, radio, etc. This is a retreat, more than a hotel. The thing... more

We stayed at KVR for 3 nights to complete our week vacation in hawaii celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. KVR is just awesome. I knew I would like it from the minute we got greeted at the gate and were given leis upon arriving to the lobby. A golf cart escorted us to our hale ST-6 which was perfect for... more

In contrast to the Four Seasons Resort next door, the Kona Village lacks pretense. Guests stay individual hales, many with ocean views. I recommend ST 2, ST 3 and ST 5. Decent water views but not at an ocean front price. The hotel is not very full and you may be able to get a better deal if you call... more

I have to say this is my first trip to any of the hawaiian islands and kona in general is pretty ugly, unless you have a thing for lava. BUT, this place was like entering paradise! we were greeted, and by greeted i mean they were waiting for us when we drove up,with a beautiful lei and a kiss. we... more
