Your level of comfort at your price point.
The one thing I found out about the big island was that one
you arrived there was a price point for every pocket book.
We chose a mid-range hotel ($150-250usd per night) on the west side. The HiltonWaikoloa offered a comfortable room with all the amenities of every hi-end
hotel. It was a bargain in fact, with the level of service that Hilton is known
for. Numerous restaurants and bars on site provided an environment which allowed couples and families alike to feel their every need was being met and if they chose to stay on the resort grounds their entire stay, they could do this without feeling like they were missing anything. Water activities, boat rides, lava rock trails, golf - anything you want to do is provided on site. Even swimming with dolphins and turtles, surrounded by waterfalls.
There are cheaper hotels ($99-$149usd per night); active, downtown hotels in the mainstream
of all the city buzz. Hotels such as the Kona Seaside Hotel and Uncle Billy's Kona Bay Hotel provide inexpensive options. Great for students, cruise ship one-nighters, and couples on a budget.
For more conservative backpackers and/or students on a tight budget there were a few hostels which we found in a ten mile range of downtown Kailua-kona in the price range of $22 usd..
There were also hi-end options (over $250usd per night) such as the Four Seasons and
the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Golf Resort which offered luxury accommodations and the high price tag that one
is accustomed to when staying in residences that provide such offerings.
The one thing all these retreats have in common is the
location – on a beautiful island with all the sweet offerings that Hawaii gives
to everyone, on any budget.
The restaurants – all fantastic, whether a street-stand, or
a surf-side restaurant which offers seafood and sunsets for a small pittance.
All of this is available to everyone who crosses the Pacific
and wants it.
