しんJapanすばらしい休日
広いハワイ島の中で、スーパーへの買い出しや空港へのアクセスが便利で、気候の良いロケーションであった。
オーナーのサンドラさんの人柄が素敵だった。
部屋が海と反対側だったので、ホテルで言えばパーシャルオーシャンビューという感じだった。
ベランダから海を眺めながらコーヒーを飲む、ということはできなかった。

Questions about The Great Kona Escape
What time is check-in and check-out at The Great Kona Escape?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Great Kona Escape allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Great Kona Escape?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Great Kona Escape have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Great Kona Escape have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at The Great Kona Escape?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book The Great Kona Escape?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
