Questions families ask

Which Kona hotels have two-bedroom suites?

None of the hotels we mapped in Kona come from a two-bedroom suite brand. Look at two-room suites or two connecting rooms.

Not many: none of the hotels we mapped has a playground within a 10-minute walk.

Which Kona hotels are near a splash pad?

Can a family of 6 stay in one hotel room in Kona?

Sometimes. How many guests a room allows is set hotel by hotel, and babies often count. Your best bets are two-bedroom suites or a two-room suite with a sofa bed. Ask the hotel for the room's maximum guests before you book.

Which Kona hotels have a full kitchen?

None of the hotels we mapped here comes from a brand with full kitchens as standard. Most have a fridge and microwave: ask.

Before you book: how many guests a room allows is set hotel by hotel, and a room listed as "sleeps 6" may only allow 4. Ask for the room's maximum guests, whether a crib is free, and if the sofa bed counts.
