Frommer's Review
In 2005, nearly 6 years after the old Kona Surf Resort closed, and after $70 million in renovations, the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort had a formal opening. The complete overhaul of this 1970s resort is remarkable: Walls were torn out in the lobby and the main dining room to allow access to the incredible view of Keauhou Bay, and the 420-square-foot rooms were completely redone to bring them into the 21st century. The best addition to the rooms is Sheraton's "Sweet Sleeper" bed, with a cushy mattress top, a feather-weight duvet, and five pillows to choose from. The next biggest change to the resort is the mammoth pool: Tucked in around the tropical gardens and splashing waterfalls, this enormous freshwater pool includes its own small man-made beach, the island's largest water slide, bubbling whirlpool spas, and a children's play area. Speaking of kids, there's a children's center and program on property and plenty of activities to keep the little ones occupied (water activities, cultural games and arts and crafts, video games, and so on). Plus, the Sheraton has a golf course next door, tennis courts on-property, and a shopping center (with restaurants) close by.
Facilities:2 restaurants (luau twice a week); bar; multilevel pool w/200-ft. water slide; 36-hole golf course nearby w/preferred guest rate; 2 tennis courts; fitness center; spa; whirlpool; year-round children's program; concierge; activities desk; business center; room service; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; laundry service; dry cleaning; sand volleyball court; basketball court
