Wonderful Getaway
Granted the Hotel is older, but the service was outstanding and the rooms were in great shape, and clean. Whe you go to the Big Island your not there to hang in your room. For the money, I would stay there every time.

Uncle Billy's Family Resort
Kona Bay Hotel
We explored the beautiful island and it's unique earthly surroundings and friendly people that live there. We felt very comfortable staying at Uncle Billy's place, the staff were welcoming, and very supportive, we met Uncle Billy and it was a pleasure meeting him in person. We wanted to stay longer but we will next time we go there. This was a wonderful adventure for us and one we will never forget!

Love Uncle Billy's
Uncle Billy's is not the big fancy luxury hotel, but when in Kona, you shouldn't be spending all your time in your hotel anyway. I'm a Big Island commuter & travel between Hilo & Kona on a weekly basis. I don't need the fancy. They are centrally located on beautiful Ali'i Drive & so close to everything I need. Their staff are soooo friendly & I always feel welcome & comfortable. This is not a a four season resort, BUT it is sincere & homely.
