Best location to go shopping and restaurants.
I liked the beach chair area for hotel guests on the beach. The cool yellow wristbands were a great way to indicate hotel guests as well as a hotel key.
ABCstore and coffee shop in the hotel were good. I was not sure about the other stores in the mall as they closed early in the evening. I think this would be the hotel of choice if I had the opportunity to visit Kailua-Kona.
