fnpgirl86 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Okay so I am new here...hope this works. I went to your HOTWIRE link and searched KOA hotels and condos for 9/29 to 10/8. There are several options from 3 star to 4 star hotels and condos that I might be interested. I know most people only list 1 or 2 hotels but I was wondering if you could give me a clue to these below. I tend to do a lot of research on where we are staying via tripadvisor. Condos can vary so much in Hawaii whether they are updated via owner or hotel owned. If you could give me a insight to what these are that would be great! I hope I searched right and posted correctly. Thank you!3.5-star Condo in Kailua - Kona $86 nightResort Near Beach Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby Condo 3-star Condo in Kailua - Kona $90 nightThis Condo features the following amenities:Resort Near Beach 1 Bedroom Suite Fully-equipped Kitchen Smoke Free Rooms Air-Conditioning Washer and Dryer in Room Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Front Desk Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Free Parking Tennis Nearby Condo 3-star Hotel in Kailua - Kona $98 nightThis Hotel features the following amenities:Oceanfront Property Property is located along the ocean, but not directly on a beach.

Roadguy Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 If you choose a Kona property, be prepared for the possibility of VOG, a volcanic haze. The kohala coast still gets some, but its not as bad. I ended up going with the 'Beachfront' W/KC 4 star which turned out to be the Hapuna Prince. I thought the Prince was a GREAT value. I passed on the well priced 3 star which I thought we the Paniolo Greens, not that they arent nice but they are from the beach. I dont know about the 4 star condos, but they are probably one of the nice ones down near the Mauna Lani/Fairmont...great area, but not the greatest beaches Link to comment
