About 15 miles from the Kona International Airport sits the WorldMark Kona. This is a smaller resort with only 64 units which is why it is so difficult to book. But it is a lovely place only a little more than a half mile from the edge of Kona and all the wonderful restaurants and night life that Kona has to offer. There is a free shuttle to take to / from Kona if you prefer not to walk.
The unit are a little small but I found the Murphy bed in the Two bedroom to make is so you can easily sleep a larger family. With two Twin Beds in one bedroom, a Queen in the master, and a queen Murphy bed it is almost like having three bedrooms. The kitchen is nice sized and the grills are nice which makes cooking great. The hot tub is a little larger than average so the resort is quite nice.
