My husband and I and three children stayed at the seaside. We enjoyed a kitchen with a large refrigerator a full sink and stove. This service in the hotel was terriffic. We asked for rollaways and received them immediately. The room was clean and we had ample towels. There was also Internet access available. The Kona Seaside is close to... More

My husband and I stayed at the Kona Seaside Hotel for 3 nights while vacationing on the Big Island. It is close to the main airport and within walking distance of the beach, shopping, restaurants and Kona Brewing Company. We were in the main hotel building on the 4th floor. Our room was large with 2 double beds, a dresser,... More

We flew into Kona on Delta Airlines a couple of weeks ago. There was a 6 hour delay due to a battery problem. We arrived late, I wasn't feeling very well and I didn't want to drive a few hours to our hotel. The car rental guy (Alamo) recommended Kona Seaside Hotel. He said it is where his family stays...

Five nights booked here in March 2012, by internet. Our stay was in the main hotel, on the fifth and top floor. We had a southerly facing room. The hotel shows that it has over 200 rooms, of which, I would guess, around 100 are in the main five storey hotel, with the remainder in two and three storey buildings... More

We were at the airport without a place to stay late Feb 14th, we called a couple of the bigger resort hotels and some were closed at 7:00 pm and others were not friendly. We called Kona Seaside and we didn't even have to give our information over the phone we were told to just come on over we will... More

This was a really nice place to stay! The room was very comfortable and spacious and the grounds are pretty and well taken care of. The staff are so nice especially that first day you've arrived after a long flight (sometimes you feel like you've taken stupid pills you're so tired). Breakfast was very good too. Service was a little... More

We read reviews on TripAdvisor and other sites, and of course, hesitant about our stay! Have to tell you, we were pleasantly surprised how clean our room was everyday and the staff at the Front Desk was very, very helpful! Our bag was lost by the airlines so we were very upset when we got to the hotel. The girls... More

My impression of the Kona Seaside Hotel is a bit colored since I had spent 3 days at their sister Hilo property. At the hotel I a had room 4008 which had a sea view and in the main building. There are rooms that looked less inviting in a motel setting. It was strange to me that the ice machine... More

Booked a one night stay at this hotel. Wasn't expecting Four Seasons accomodations or service. Just looking for value for the money paid. Tried to check in at 7:00p.m. No one at the front desk for over 5 minutes. Was then stunned to find out that our room wasn't ready. Told us they were "refreshing it". I asked what that... More

Thank you for your review of our Kona Seaside Hotel., we value all feedback of our property. Bed and breakfast is a rate plan that we offer, however the package that you purchased through Priceline did not include this amenity. The Priceline description does say that complimentary breakfast is included, and as a result of your review we have taken... More
