Frommer's Review
Located on 10 acres, this former Ohana Keauhou Beach Hotel, still owned by the same company, has been upgraded to the more upscale Outrigger brand. The setting is perfect, on a large reef system (where sea turtles come ashore for a brief nap), and next door to one of Kona's best white-sand beaches, Kahuluu. Lush tropical gardens of native plants and flowers surround the hotel, and it's just a mile from the Kona Country Club's 36 holes of golf. The rooms are small (you could fit a crib in there, but a family of four should get two rooms); the oceanview rooms are well worth the extra money. We have gotten some complaints about cleanliness of the rooms, bug problems, and air-conditioning malfunctions. Management said they are working on these issues. The main dining room is forgettable, but you're just minutes from other restaurants and shopping at the nearby Keauhou Shopping Center. Rates are much cheaper than the nearby Sheraton Keauhou .
