Uncle Billy's Kona Bay Hotel

Frommer's Review

An institution in Kona, Uncle Billy's is where visitors from the other islands stay. A thatched roof hangs over the lobby area, and a Polynesian longhouse restaurant is next door. The rooms are old but comfortable and come with large lanais; most also have minifridges (request one at booking), and 16 are condo-style units with kitchenettes. This budget hotel is a good place to sleep, but don't expect new furniture or carpets, or fancy soap in the bathroom. It can be noisy at night when big groups book in; avoid Labor Day weekend, when all the canoe paddlers in the state want to stay here and rehash the race into the wee morning hours.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar (w/Hawaiian entertainment); 2 outdoor pools (1 just for children); watersports equipment rentals; activities desk; coin-op washer/dryers
