"I'm sure that you've heard this a thousand times before, but I wanted to thank you for your fantastic book; a perfect blend of instruction, tips, and humor! My fiance and I just returned from 8 days on the Big island, in which we now need a vacation to recover from our vacation! We expected to lounge on the beach and relax; no, no, no. After purchasing your book (for the steal of a deal of under $15), we felt that we would be wasting time if we weren't continuously hiking a trail, or discovering and spelunking one of the lava tubes. Your book is right on and a necessity for exploring the Big Island."
-- A. Vanderslik

Kona Hotel
(808) 324-1155
76-5908 Mamalahoa Hwy

11 rooms. This ultra-pink 1926 building is up at the 1,400 foot elevation level in Holualoa (above Kona town). It’s cheap, bare bones, no nonsense, and doesn’t seem to change much between editions. No mints on your pillow, no phones, shared bathrooms, but they have a tv in the lobby. If you want two beds, it’s $40, a double bed is $35. It’s $30 if you’re by yourself and plan to stay that way. Rooms #9 and #10 are the best bet and are for couples only; the rest you may want to avoid.
