Aston Kona by the Sea

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed a six night stay with our granddaughter (age 10) who used the sofa bed. The whole unit was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The staff was excellent with daily texts on what to do and how to get assistance. The pool area was clean and comfortable and the AC worked very well. The view of the coast is unforgettable."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Makalawena?
The best area to stay near Makalawena is along the Kohala Coast, particularly around Mauna Lani and Waikoloa Beach Resort, as Makalawena itself is a protected natural area with no accommodation options.

Mauna Lani offers a more secluded and luxurious experience. This area is known for its high-end hotels and private villas, often featuring direct access to stunning beaches and golf courses. The Mauna Lani Beach Club provides facilities for guests, and the Shops at Mauna Lani offer a selection of dining and shopping. This is an excellent choice for couples looking for a tranquil and refined escape.

Waikoloa Beach Resort provides a wider array of amenities and activities, making it a great option for families. It features two large shopping centres, King's Shops and Queen's Marketplace, with various restaurants, boutiques, and entertainment options. The resort also boasts several large hotels with extensive pools, water slides, and kids' clubs. Its proximity to 'Anaeho'omalu Bay (A-Bay) means easy access to watersports and calm swimming conditions.
