Set in active Kailua-Kona, the Kona Tiki Hotel is in a prime position to observe one of the Big Island of Hawaii's most elusive attractions: the momentary green flash said to occur when the sun dips below the horizon. A vacation in Hawaii is not complete without at least one stunning sunset, and visitors to this hotel will have prime seating as the sun bounces off the water in one of the most spectacular natural shows in the Hawaiian islands. Guests will delight in the way that the sunlight changes the colors of the lava outcroppings and the dense forests.
The hotel makes the best use of its location with a refreshing ocean-facing pool and sun deck. Visitors can marvel at the skill of surfers navigating the waves just off the majestic rocky beach, or taste the heat of the volcano when they grill using the lava rock barbecue. A nightly ceremony takes travelers back to the island days of old: the ritual blowing of the conch shell and lighting of the tropical garden tiki torches is a ceremony not to be missed.
Every one of the very affordable 15 rooms features a private balcony, the better to track the sunset in peace and comfort. All rooms have a refrigerator, while select rooms offer kitchenettes with a microwave and burners. The decor is light and tropical in theme, and the bed sizes are generous queens and kings.
For those using their holiday in the islands to track that special green flash, hotels on the western coast are a safe bet. But for travelers who need great value without sacrificing comfort, the Kona Tiki Hotel is a sure thing.
Price Range: From $72 to $96, plus tax, for single/double occupancy. Additional occupancy fees may be added.
