Hotels near Kona International Airport (KOA), Kailua-Kona

Staying at Mango sunset is the absolute amazing highlight of our trip in big island. 5 star experience! Location: it’s 10 minutes drive from airport. There is a short drive way from highway to the Airbnb, we don’t have cars, but all uber drivers have no problem driving uphill. View and environment: the house is located near a coffee farm and on the top of a small hill, so you will have an absolute fantastic view of sunset. It is surrounded by coffee trees and fruit trees and you can find chickens running around. You are living in the original natural kingdom, very different from staying at a standard hotel. Their cat Melisa is also cute! Condition: the room is nice and clean, you can find everything like microwave, fridge etc. you need. It’s also safe and quiet, especially in the night. They use Starlink for internet, so even if the location is away from busy area, you have stable and free minternet which is important for me. Host: the best part of mango sunset is the host couple: Heidi and Dan. They are kind, professional, funny and welcoming. You can see from the small ukulele on the wall to a flower on the table that they both love life and want the guests to feel like home. Heidi every morning will make guests her homemade breakfast. All the foods are grown from their farm. You can’t find any similar amazing food anywhere else. In one early morning we have tour needs to leave early, Heidi even wakes up at 6am and made a ham&cheese sandwich for us to take! Dan is responsible for maintain everything neat and smooth. The water pressure has some issue and he fixed it immediately! I can’t say any better words for the host. They are absolutely extraordinary! Overall, the mango sunset makes our trip unforgettable experience! Highly recommend! I will definitely return if I get any chance to visit big island again!

Beautiful spot on the top over Hilo. Really quiet and peacefull to sleep. The hosts are really beautiful and helpful people. Always again =)

This is a brand-new and perfect residence. It feels like breathing together with this island in the Pacific Ocean and becoming one. The mind is bright and clear. You can rest peacefully and enjoy the view comfortably, watching the sunset by the sea. All around are the sounds of insects, birds and the wind blowing through the tropical jungle. The room is large and tidy, and incredibly clean. The kitchen is well-equipped with all kinds of appliances and seasonings. This place is a perfect home. And it only takes a few minutes by car to reach Walmart and many nice restaurants. Thanks to the landlord and the cleaning staff. This stay is unforgettable. The only regret is that I only planned to stay in Kona for one day. I really should have stayed here for the entire vacation.

Everything was perfect, the apartment was amazing, we had everything we needed and more! Thank you I recommend

Guest room, amenity, restaurant, everything are great!

We upgraded to Oceanfront View room, so the view from the balcony was outstanding!!! I think any other room could "slightly" change our rating.

Amazing location. Staff were incredibly outstanding, so friendly and warm. Loved all the extra added options in the room. Felt very comfortable and was close to swimming beaches. Thank you pacific 19, we loved our stay 🥰🥰 Thank you especially to our check in staff!

Friendly staff, clean room and facility

Staff was amazing: Pu, Marlin, Justin, the Sushi chef, Angie the massage therapist, Skylar at spa reception- these folks made the experience so great and unforgettable. And to the man in overnight housekeeping that killed the surprise cockroach in our room- you are a hero!

The condo is part of Kona Islander Inn complex, but this particular one is directly handeld by Chris and Heather, as I believe every condo may have different owners. The condo is very clean, smartly furnished so that there is quite a lot of free space but also a small kitchenette with fridge, microwave, and storage. A small balcony/terrace completes it. The Inn has a common laundry but we didn't use it. The location is literally in the heart of Kailua-Kona. Communication was good! Chris & Heather gave me all the info via the Booking messenger and they were always ready to answer: I asked for a late check out on the last day (2pm instead of 11am) with 2 days advance, and got answered quickly that was possible (extra fee required). We always found a free parking in the parking that serves the whole Inn, but I have the feeling it might become limiting in higher seasons. So overall we were really happy with this choice.
